Now that you’ve completed the initial setup for the iNAS it’s time to decide on
how you want to implement the iNAS in your network. Most users will choose to
configure the iNAS in one of two ways:
1. The iNAS will be used as the Network’s router and a NAS device. (iNAS
is connected directly to a Cable/DSL modem)
2. OR the iNAS is configured as a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device
attached to your network somewhere behind a router.
Once you have decided on the setup, please follow the instructions below
according to the configuration you have chosen.

2. Select either DHCP or enter a Static IP depending your network’s setup.
Note: If you select to use a Dynamic IP address then the iNAS will be
assigned an IP address from your DHCP enabled router. However, if you
plan to remotely access the iNAS, then you will need to use a static IP for
the iNAS.
If you choose to assign a static IP address to the iNAS, you must make sure
there are no IP conflictions on your network. In other words, don’t assign an
IP address that is already being used by another device on your network.
We suggest using an IP address such as 192.168.1.XXX, where XXX can
be changed from 1-255 to resolve IP conflictions. The Subnet Mask and
Default gateway must also match the settings of the networks router.
3. Enable the “Allow Entering Administration Web Pages from External
Network” if you plan to access the iNAS remotely. Port 80 is selected by
default, and is already open to most web browsers to use the HTTP
protocol. Kanguru strongly suggests that you check with your ISP to
confirm that the selected port is open.
Note: If you select a port other than 80, you will need to enter this
number at the end of the iNAS IP address. For example, if you choose to
use Port 88 to remotely access the iNAS, then you should enter
4. Click Apply to enter these settings.
LAN Configuration
1. Click on the LAN Configuration tab from the menu to continue.
17

2. Assign a fixed IP address that won’t conflict with any other devices on
your network. We suggest contacting your network administrator if you
are unaware of the available IP address on your network. We also
suggest only changing the third field in the IP address. For example you
could change 192.168.1.254 to 192.168.2.254. The Subnet Mask and
Default Gateway should match the settings of your LAN’s router.
3. If you plan to have computers connected to the iNAS, then you should
keep Enable DHCP Server selected. However you must make sure that
this doesn’t cause IP confliction on your network, so you may have to
change the Start/End IP range. If you are not connecting devices to the
iNAS, then you should disable this option.
4. Click Apply to change the setting and the iNAS will restart. Please note
that the URL of 192.168.1.254 is no longer valid and will not open the
iNAS after it has rebooted.
5. When the iNAS has finished rebooting, switch the Ethernet cable on the
back of the iNAS from the LAN port to the WAN port. The iNAS should
now pick up an IP address from the network’s DHCP router or use the
static IP that you assigned. You can now access the iNAS from a web
browser using this new IP address. Please note if you selected to use a
port other than 80, you will have to enter that number as described in
step 3 of the WAN configuration section.
6. The iNAS should now be connected via the WAN port to your network,
and you should have access through a Web Browser or Network
Neighborhood. It’s now time to configure the users of the iNAS, and then
configure your router to allow for remote access.

WAN Configuration
Enter the Network Settings sections from the Administration page. Then click
on WAN Configuration on the menu to the left if you are not there already.
5. Select the Network protocol that your ISP provides. You may need to
check with your ISP to confirm your type of connection. If you use a
Static IP address then you need to get this IP from your ISP.
6. Enable the “Allow Entering Administration Web Pages from External
Network” if you plan to access the iNAS remotely. Port 80 is selected by
default, and is already open to most web browsers to use the HTTP
protocol. Kanguru strongly suggests that you check with your ISP to
confirm that the selected port is open.
Note1: If you select a port other than 80, you will need to enter this
number at the end of the iNAS IP address. For example, if you choose to
use Port 88 to remotely access the iNAS, then you should enter
Note2: If your ISP provides you with a Dynamic IP address, then should use
your router. The DNS service is free, and will automatically update your IP
address for you. This is very useful because your Dynamic IP address can
change at any moment, so you will never be sure of the WAN IP address of
the iNAS if you are trying to remotely connect. The DNS service updates
the Dynamic IP address and masks it with a domain name of your choosing.

Configuring a Router for the iNAS
If you are connecting the iNAS to another router you must configure that router to
allow for remote access to the iNAS. The router MUST meet the following
requirements:
1. DDNS Support
2. Port Forwarding
3. Remote Accessibility
The iNAS is located behind a router, so in order to access the iNAS remotely you
must go through the router first. The router needs to use port forwarding to connect
to the iNAS. You may need to consult with your router’s manufacturer to setup your
router correctly.
For example, your iNAS is currently set to use 192.168.1.199 as the WAN IP
address, and your router (meets the requirements above) uses a dynamic IP
address provided by your ISP. You must do the following to setup the remote
connection:
1. Open your router’s administration page.
2. Go to the Port Forwarding section.
3. Set your router to forward the 80 port to 192.168.1.199.
4. Create an account with a DDNS service provider such as
5. After you have created this account you should have a domain name that
masks the IP address (dynamic) of your router. When you enter this
domain name in a internet browser you will be routed past your router
and sent directly to the iNAS homepage.

User Management
Once you have installed the Kanguru iNAS 100, you can use your browser
(supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later and Netscape Navigator 4.5 or
later; Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 is recommended) to complete administrative
tasks for the Kanguru iNAS 100.
The Kanguru iNAS 100 can share its files with multiple users. It is important to plan
and organize users and user groups’ accessibility to ease the administration work.
Kanguru Solutions suggests you create Users and Network Shares in the following
order:
1. Create all users first.
2. Create User Groups and assign individual Users to these Groups
3. Create Network Shares and assign Users or User Group to these Shares.
Before you begin, please review the follow terms below. This will give you a better
understanding on how the User Management is structured before creating users.
Users
The factory default settings contains the following user settings:
Administrator
By default, the Administrator is a member of the Administrators group and
has access to the system Administration. You cannot delete the user
Administrator.
Guest
When you use a non-registered user name to login, the server recognizes it
as a guest and will allow limited access. A guest does not belong to any
user group. You cannot delete the user guest or create a password.
Anonymous
When you connect to the server by FTP service, you can use the name to
login as a guest. You cannot delete this user or change its password.
22
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
You can create new users according to your needs. The following information is
required to create a new user:
• User Name
The user name must not exceed 32 characters. It is case insensitive and it
can contain double-byte characters (Such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)
But it cannot contain any of the characters below:
" / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < > ` '
• Password
The password must not exceed 16 characters. Due to security concerns, the
password must be at least 6 characters. It is recommended that you avoid
using codes that are easily decipherable.
You can use following settings to create or update users:
• Create User
• Change Password
• Create Private Network Share
• Assign User Groups
• NFS Settings
• Quota Settings
• Delete User
User Groups
To administer access rights, you can create user groups. User groups are a
collection of users with the same access rights to files or folders. By factory
default, the server contains the following pre-defined user groups:
Administrators
All members of the administrators group have the rights to perform system
management. You cannot delete the administrators user groups.
Everyone
All registered users belong to Everyone group. You cannot delete the “everyone”
user group or any of its users.
You can administer user groups with the following:
• Create User Groups
• Create Private Network Share
• Assign Users
23

• Delete User Groups
User group names must not exceed 256 characters. It is case insensitive and it
can contain double-byte characters (Such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)
but it cannot contain any of the characters below:
" / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < > ` '
To properly manage security, it is very important to manage users and user
groups. You may set the share access parameters of each user or user group
accordingly.
• PDC Authentication Settings
If you have a Windows PDC (Primary Domain Controller) server to handle the
domain security in your network, you don’t need to re-enter all the users and
groups with the Kanguru iNAS 100. You can simply enable the PDC
authentication feature; the Kanguru iNAS 100 will connect with the NT domain
and get all the information of the domain users and groups automatically.
To enable PDC authentication, you must enter the domain name as well as the
user name and password already established in this domain. The Kanguru iNAS
100 will use the user name and password to log in to the NT domain and retrieve
user and group information. Once you have configured the Kanguru iNAS 100 to
use PDC authentication, all NT domain users and groups will appear in lists of
users and groups for which you can define access rights.
Note: NetWare users cannot be authenticated via the PDC server. To properly
authenticate NetWare users, please go to User Management · Users ·
Change Password page and type the password for that user manually.
• Quota
The amount of space given out to all users in the system can be limited in order
to manage and allocate it efficiently. Once these restrictions are in place, users
will be prevented from obtaining more space once they have reached their limit.
This prevents monopolizing a large amount of disk space by a small group of
users. No limitations are set on the system when it leaves the factory.
• Backup/Restore User Settings
You may backup all user settings onto your computer as well as restore
previously backed up user settings file to your Kanguru iNAS 100. This function
allows you to easily maintain the user settings.
Network Share Management
The primary purpose of network storage is file sharing. In a standard operation
environment, you can create different network share folders for various types of files,
or provide different file access rights to users or user groups. By factory default, a
“public” share folder is created. The share folder gives full access to all users or
guests.
24

Administer network shares with the following:
• Create a Network Share
• Change the name, path and comment of a network share
• Set access right for a network share
• Remove a network share
You can create new network shares according to your needs. While creating a
network share the following parameters must be set:
• Network Share Name
The network share name must not exceed 12 characters. It cannot contain
double-byte characters (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) as well as the
characters listed below:
" . + = / \ : | * ? < > ; [ ] %
• Disk Volume
The network share will be created under the specified disk volume.
• Path
All data is stored under the assigned path onto the disk volume. You can select
Specify Path Automatically to allow the server to automatically create a new
path on the disk volume to store the network share files. Or you can assign a
specific path for the share folder. The manually assigned path cannot exceed
256 characters and cannot contain the characters listed below:
" \ : | * ? < > ; ` '
• Comment
The Comment field allows a brief description of the share folder to help users
identify its purpose in a network neighborhood window. The comment cannot
exceed 128 characters.
Once the network share is created, you can start assigning access rights to users or
user groups:
• Full Access
Full access allows the user or user group to read, write, create, or remove all files
and directories in the network share.
• Read Only
Reads files only in the network share but denies functions to write, create or
delete files or directories.
• Deny Access
Denies all files on the network share.

System Settings
Basic system settings include the server name, date, time, and language settings.
• Server Name
You must assign a unique name for your Kanguru iNAS 100 for ease of
identification within the local network. The server name can accommodate as
much as 14 characters, which can be a combination of letters (A-Z or a-z),
numbers (0-9) and hyphens (-). The server will not accept names containing
blank spaces, periods (.), or names with only numbers. The LCD display will
show the current server name.
Next, you must configure your Kanguru iNAS 100 to the workgroup. The
workgroup represents a basic computer group within the Microsoft Network.
Files are normally shared within the group. Workgroups can accommodate as
much as 15 characters but must exclude the following characters:
; : " < > * + = \ | ? , [ ] /
The first character cannot be a period (.). For ease of management and usage,
please set your Kanguru iNAS 100 and attached computer(s) in the same
workgroup.
Moreover, the Kanguru iNAS 100 allows you to specify comments (such as
administrator name, department, or location) that describe the Kanguru iNAS
100 for ease of identification to an online user.
• Date & Time
Set the date, time, and time zone according to your location. If the settings are
incorrectly entered, the following problems may occur:
1. When using a web browser to access or save a file, the time of the file
accessed or saved may be out of sync.
2. The system event log time will be incorrect compared to the actual time an
action occurred.
• Language Setting
26
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The server is based on the language settings and uses it accordingly while
creating or displaying files and directories. Select the correct language settings
to avoid the following problems:
1. Inability to create files or directories with special characters.
2. Inability to display files or directories name with special characters.
Network Settings
The network settings include the TCP/IP configuration for WAN and LAN, network
service settings, router and firewall configuration, etc.
• WAN Configuration
According to your WAN connection, you can choose the following four methods
to configure the TCP/IP settings to the external network:
1. Use PPPoE Protocol
PPPoE is commonly used in DSL-based broadband services to establish the
Internet connection. Please check with your ISP to check if PPPoE is used.
You will also need the user name and password information that is supplied
by your ISP to properly configure the PPPoE settings.
2. Use PPTP Protocol
If the Kanguru iNAS 100 is connected to a remote PPTP server through the
WAN port, you need to use the PPTP protocol.
3. Use DHCP Protocol
The DHCP protocol is usually used in a Cable modem environment or the
intranet. The system will obtain the IP address settings automatically via
DHCP.
4. Use Static IP Address
The fixed IP address is usually used in some DSL broadband services or
intranet, and an IP address must be entered manually in configuring the
network. You will need to enter the following information:
IP Address
The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a
network. The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated by
dots. (e.g. 61.218.1.5)
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It
is a 32-bit digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred to as an interchange point that connects two
networks. If you don’t know the gateway’s IP address, please ask your ISP or
network administrator.
27
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
There are several available options in addition to the basic settings:
Allow entering administration web pages from external network
If this option is not enabled, you will not be able to perform system administration
from the computers connected to the WAN port. You may also assign the HTTP
port number for entering administration web pages.
Disable response to ICMP packets to avoid attacks from hackers
For additional security, when enabling this option, outside computers cannot use
the 'ping' program to probe for IP address of this server.
• LAN Configuration
If you use the Kanguru iNAS 100 as the gateway to connect to the Internet,
normally there is no need to change the LAN configuration. Simply change the
network configuration of the computers on the LAN to automatically obtain IP
addresses via DHCP protocol. By default, the Kanguru iNAS 100 provides the
NAT function to allow the computers on your LAN to share a single WAN IP
address for Internet access.
Fixed IP address
The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a
network. This address will be used for all clients in the internal LAN to access this
Kanguru iNAS 100. You can check the current LAN IP address of the Kanguru
iNAS 100 from the LCD panel (see Appendix A).
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network. It is
a 32-bits digit code: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Default Gateway
The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two
networks, such as LAN and WAN. You don’t need to configure gateway address
if the NAT function is enabled; just set it as 0.0.0.0.
Enable DHCP Server
Once the DHCP server function is activated, the Kanguru iNAS 100 will assign
