With a JS100 connected to the network, users can easily and quickly access, store, backup, organize and share both files and music on a single JS100. Also, home users can access or transfer files on digital devices such as set-top TV boxes, digital cameras, camcorders, digital audio players, and the like by directly connecting such devices to the USB port on the JS100. JS100 network media storage unit can be connected to multiple Ethernet ports, and can accommodate either IDE/ATA disk drives or SATA disk drives, but are set up at the factory to support either one or the other, but not both. Check the packing list to see which type of disk drive to use in your unit. The use of USB drives is also supported. The front and rear panels on the JS100 network media storage unit case provide a power status LED and an activity LED. Control and status information, as well as information about the network properties, firmware version, configuration settings, alert settings, machine name, security settings, file management settings, disk management settings, and disk power management settings are available when you open the JS100 user interface with your browser. The user interface is also used to change settings and to update the JS100 network media storage unit firmware. Page 1 ©2005 Quasarbiz Document: VS100UM101 UNIT COMPONENTS FRONT PANEL As shown on Figure 1, the power status and activity LEDs are located on the front panel. Much more information and control are available through the web configuration interface Front Panel of the JS100 Power LED There is one orange power LED on front panel. A continuously-illuminated LED indicates that the JS100 network media storage unit is powering properly. Note: To help prevent the loss of data in the event of a failure of a disk drive, the JS100 disk storage unit uses various methods, including a technology called self-monitoring analysis and reporting technology (SMART), to monitor the condition of disk drives and to detect a pending failure. Drive Activity LED The drive activity green LED for the disk drive is illuminated whenever reading or writing activity occurs. Power Button The power button uses the software to shut down the JS100 network media storage unit and turn off the power. Page 2 ©2005 Quasarbiz Document: VS100UM101 REAR PANEL The primary power switch, the AC connector, two USB ports, an RJ-45 network port, a reset button, and a serial development connector are on the rear panel of the JS100 network media storage unit. Rear Panel of the JS100 RJ-45 Network Port The RJ-45 network port is a standard network (Ethernet) port. The network port is used to connect the JS100 network media storage unit to the network using a Category 5 network cable. The network cable is not included. USB Ports The USB ports can be used to connect to USB drives, which is a flexible way to quickly or temporarily add disks (such as temporarily tore data while updating one of the internal IDE disk drives) Connecting a USB printer to one of the USB ports enables the JS100 network media storage unit to act as a print server. The JS100 network media storage unit accepts print requests from PCs on the network and saves the files to be printed on the JS100 disks until the printer has completed the process. USB cables are not included. AC Connector The AC connector is an industry-standard 120V connector. The supplied power cord or a compatible cord can be used to connect to a wall outlet or to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

The JS100 setup wizard is provided on the Initial Setup page to help you complete the process. To begin the initial setup process, click the language you prefer in the Language list, and then click Next. INITIAL SETUP PAGE PIC Page 6 ©2005 Quasarbiz Document: VS100UM101 ASSIGNING A NAME TO THE JS100 NETWORK MEDIA STORAGE UNIT The first step in the Initial Setup process is to set the Machine Name for the JS100 network media storage unit. Any name can be used for the machine name. When there are multiple JS100 network media storage units on the network, each unit must have a unique name. Type the machine name the Machine Name box, and then click Next.
