How to Login
To configure the settings of your network drive, open the web browser, enter the IP address of your device and then use the web interface. If you don’t know its IP address, use the Nettool application or use the web portal and the MAC address of your device to login.
Default Login
Server Name | MAC address (see sticker on your device) |
Username | admin |
Password | admin |
Login via Web Browser
The login via web browser does not require any installation of additional programs or setup of your network router.
Launch your web browser.
Go to http://myFantec.com or https://myFantec.com.
Your default server name is the MAC address. You can find this number on a sticker either on the retail packaging or the device itself.
After you click the Enter button it will open the web interface of your NAS.
You can also login directly by using this syntax: http://xxx.myFantec.com. The “xxx” should be replaced by your server name (MAC address without colon).
Click on any of the icons for further settings and a pop-up window will ask for your login credentials.
Nettool on Windows
Use the Nettool application to locate the network drive on the local network.
The Nettool application requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE). If JRE is not already installed on your computer, go to www.sun.com and download it.
Double click on the *.EXE file to start the application.
The device will be listed automatically and it will display its IP address, device name and group name. If the information is not automatically displayed, make sure the network drive and your computer are connected to the same local network and assure that the Nettool is not blocked by the firewall (javaw.exe requires UDP out at port 14675).
If you have more than one device connected at the same time and the current device is not the correct one, click Search Next. Otherwise, click Connect to open the web browser and login to configure your device.
Enter the user name and password to login. By default, the name and password is admin.
