For file access via WebDAV, set up a redirect for TCP traffic from WAN port 8080 to LAN port 80.
Because you have to redirect the network traffic to a certain IP address (the internal IP of your NAS),
it's best if you set a fixed IP address for your NAS. Otherwise, it might change the next time you
restart your router or your NAS and the port forwarding will not work anymore.
Port Numbers
By default, the administration port is set to 8000 and the WebDAV port is set to 8080. If you have
more than one network drive installed in the same local network or if you run into conflicts with
other network devices, change the port number to a different number and click Apply to save the
settings.
Remember to change the port forwarding if you make any changes to the port numbers here.
For Windows XP users to mount the network drive, the port number for WebDAV has to be set to
port 80. Make sure to set up port forwarding accordingly.

Sleep Time
To save energy and keep the drive cool, we recommend setting the sleep time. Select a time from
the list between 10 to 60 minutes. When the drive is idle for longer than the set time, it will
automatically go into stand‐by mode and spin down.
If you need immediate access to the drive, set it to “Disable” and the drive will keep spinning at all
times.
Format Disk
Use this tool to format your hard drive and prepare it for the network drive. When you format the
hard drive using this disk utility, it will create a single partition using the exFAT file system. If you
create other partitions or choose a different file system when connected through USB, keep in mind
that the network drive is only able to recognize the first partition and it has to be exFAT!
In order to access the exFAT partition when the device is connected via USB, Windows XP requires
Service Pack 2 or later and Windows Vista requires Service Pack 1 or later.

and FTPaccounts!
