The N1T1 is ready to go out of the box. Simply connect the included cables to the device and power it on. If the N1T1 is going to be used as an external hard drive or DVD writer, you'll also need to select the correct mode using the switch on the back.
Once the N1T1 is up and running, its network connection will need to be configured. If you have a DHCP server on your network and you know what IP the NAS is using, you can skip the next few steps and connect directly to the web menu. Otherwise, you'll need to pop the “LG Network Storage PC Software Installer” CD into your computer and install the NAS Detector software.
The NAS Detector software searches the network looking for LG NAS devices. When it finds one, it will display its IP address, MAC address and host name. Using the NAS Detector software, you can also change the network information, open the web menu or access the network folder.
