you want to add and choose Next.
2. Enter your credentials for the host NAS OS device and choose Next. In most instances, you will use a
login with administrator rights. You can choose Guest when adding public shares.
3. Select the shares to add and choose Next. If you do not see the shares you want to add, make certain
that the credentials you entered in step 2 have access rights to the shares on the host NAS OS device.
4. Review the Summary page and choose Finish.
Third party NAS or server Host
1. Enter the IP address for the host in the empty field and choose Next. Though an IP address is generally
more reliable, you can also enter the NAS's/server's network name.
Important info: Even if you succeed in adding the share/volume using the Host's name, you
can experience problems when attempting to access the volume on a PC/Mac. This may be
due to the network's naming service. Should you encounter issues with the network name, it
is recommended that you try again using the IP address.
2. Enter the name of the share on the host NAS/server and choose Next.
3. Review the Summary page and choose Finish.
Adding remote shares on offsite networks
NAS OS gives you the option to add shares/volumes from NAS OS and third party NAS/server devices that
are located outside the LAN (offsite network). When choosing the Host NAS, follow the instructions for Third
party NAS or server Host, even if you want to access a NAS OS device. When choosing the NAS, you must
enter its public IP address and use the proper credentials.
Seagate cannot guarantee the stability and performance of remote shares/volumes from offsite networks.
There are many factors that can affect the connection including, but not limited to: firewalls, security settings,
routers, Internet service providers, and administration.
Share tabs
Adding remote shares to the NAS changes the Shares page. There are two tabs:
Local: Access all shares created on the NAS.
Remote: Access all shares added from other NAS devices.
Managing remote shares/volumes
The host NAS/server manages its shares. Only the administrator for the host NAS device can adjust the
remote shares' credentials, access rights, quotas, etc.
