Version: TOS 6

Network Settings

General​

Display the TNAS IP address, model, and device name. The default port for TOS is 8181. You can also modify the device name and port number.

To perform routine settings, please go to TOS Desktop > Control Panel > Network Services > General.

Note
  1. After changing the TNAS port number to a non-default port, when accessing the TNAS device via its IP address, make sure to append the port number, for example, 192.168.0.2:5151.
  2. When you enable "Force HTTP Connection to Redirect to HTTPS," TOS will only accept HTTPS connections when logging in through a browser. If you disable this feature and encounter issues accessing via HTTP, you may need to enter the complete HTTP URL or clear your browser cache.

Interface​

TNAS devices may be configured with one, two, or more network interfaces. You can configure each network interface individually.

Interface Management​

  • Edit: To modify the configuration parameters of a network interface, select a network interface on the page, then click "Edit". Once the configuration is complete, click "Apply".
  • DHCP: Automatically obtain network settings: DHCP is a network protocol used for automatic IP address configuration. If you want DHCP to assign IP configurations to TNAS, please check "Obtain network configuration automatically (DHCP)".
  • Manual network configuration: If you wish to use manual configuration for the network interface, check "Use the following network configuration:", and then enter the IP address, subnet mask, DNS server, and default gateway.
  • Permissions: This function is used to set access permissions for network interfaces. The permissions for a network interface can be set to either "read-write" or "read-only". Once a network interface is set to "read-only", all users accessing TNAS through that interface will only have read access to TNAS data. By default, the system sets network interface permissions to "read-write". When TNAS has two or more network interfaces, you can individually configure read-write permissions for each interface. This feature allows you to quickly configure read-write permissions for users in different departments or areas.
  • Service Order: When TNAS is configured with two or more network interfaces, or when a USB Wi-Fi wireless adapter is installed, you can set the service priority order for these network interfaces.
Note
  1. If you select "Obtain network settings automatically (DHCP)", the IP address of TNAS may change each time the device restarts. It is recommended that after restarting the TNAS device, you use the TNAS PC desktop application to obtain the correct IP address again.
  2. When using two or more network interfaces simultaneously, the network interface with Service Order set to 1 must be able to connect to the Internet. Otherwise, TNAS will not be able to access the Internet.

Bond​

When TNAS is configured with two or more network interfaces, you can create a "Bond" for these interfaces. By creating a "Bond", you can allocate tasks to different network interfaces to maximize network efficiency.

Bond modes include four types:

  • Self-adapting Load Balance
  • IEEE 802.3as Dynamic Link Aggregation
  • Balance XOR
  • Active/Standby

Bond Management:

  • Create: Create Bond.
  • Delete: Delete the created Bond.
Note

When creating or deleting a Bond, IP addresses may change. The system will automatically redirect you to the new IP address. If redirection fails, please use the TNAS PC desktop client to log back into TOS. Upon deletion, the interfaces that were part of the Bond will be released, and IPs will be reassigned.

Wi-Fi​

You can connect TNAS to the network using a USB wireless network adapter.

If you want to use a wireless network adapter, insert the USB wireless network adapter into TNAS's USB port. Then, go to TOS Desktop > Control Panel > Network Services > Network Settings > Wi-Fi to configure the wireless network settings.

Note

TNAS supports only one USB wireless network adapter at a time. Currently, TNAS supports USB wireless network adapters with Realtek RTL8812AU and RTL8812BU chipsets. For more details, please visit the TerraMaster official website.
