Chapter 2 Configuration

Configure and administer your LinkStation using the Settings interface, accessible from a browser window. Open the

interface using the procedure below or type the LinkStation’s IP address in the URL field of your browser. Within Settings,

the Easy Admin page gives you quick access to commonly used settings.

Note: Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 18, Google Chrome 24, Safari 5, and later are supported. If you have difficulty

viewing Settings, check the following:

• If there are a large number of registered users, groups, or shared folders, use Firefox 18 or later instead of Internet

Explorer.

• If you have a proxy server enabled in the browser settings, disable the proxy server.

• With Internet Explorer, set security to Local intranet. On Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008, higher-

level security is configured by default. Set the security to a lower level temporarily.
