The DSM-602H/604H is a true plug and play device. You do not need to configure the

device if you plan to use it in a network with a DHCP switch/router. Right out of the box,

the DSM-602H/604H will be accessible to network computers with UPnP

compatible

operating systems in a DHCP-enabled network.

However, if you wish to use the advanced configuration features that include assigning

folder and access rights; or if you want to use the DSM-602H/604H attached directly to

one computer, and

not

in a DHCP network, you will need to configure it.

To use the DSM-602H/604H outside of a network and linked to only one computer, first

you must connect it to a DHCP-enabled network. Once the DHCP switch or router

assigns an IP address to the DSM-602H/604H, you can then enter the Web-based

configuration utility and change the IP address of the DSM-602H/604H to a static IP

address that is within the range of your computer’s IP address. Once you have assigned

the static IP address, you can then disconnect the DSM-602H/604H from the network

and connect it directly to the Ethernet port on your computer. You can then use the

DSM-602H/604H as an extra portable hard drive for your computer.
