After the restart it is

necessary to log in again

Please initiate the HDD after the upgrade of the Firmware.

New functions
The upgrade described above introduces the ability of the IB-NAS to implement
additional software packages. Therefore the possibilities of the IB-NAS are will get

Installation of an application
The installation of an application is pretty simple. The referring installation file has just to
be copied in the “new_software” folder in the “applications” folder in the “public” share,
and the IB-NAS has to be rebooted.

Attention: After the upgrade described above the HDD needs to be initialized in
order to grant that the appropriate folders are generated on the HDD.

Copy the installation file

in the „new_software”
folder in the
“applications” folder in
the “public” share and
restart the IB-NAS
afterwards

Attention: After the installation of packages like the SSH server is it possible that
the restart may take longer, because some keys for the strong
encryption have to be generated.

Where to find the new functions

After the installation, the new functions have been integrated into the submenu “Network
