Hammer Myshare HN1200 help

I recently inherited an HN1200 drive. I'm trying to get it up and running but am having no luck finding any info on it.

I ran across a review that very briefly mentions that I should mount the default \\HN1200 share, and that would contain an html file I can use. But I haven't had any luck getting it to mount. I found the system on my network ( 192.168.1.2 ), ran a portscan and only 21 and 23 seem to be open. Tried telnet and FTP on it, but no luck.

Anyone have any info on this NAS? Maybe even have a copy of the quick-start guide handy?

Thanks!

I did find that page ( the blog spot page) but unfortunately that assumes you already have access to it.

Thanks for the manual link! I'll try that and see what I can get working. Thanks again!!

That manual helped a bit, but unfortunately it seems I need the Quick Start guide, which archive.org didn't seem to crawl =(.

Did you try mounting it as a network drive under Windows? Even if this is not the way you want to access the drive in the future it might give you access to the .html file.

I can mount my NAS as a network share by just typing in the local IP following by the default shared folder (e.g. //192.168.1.2/public). Maybe this would work.

I did try tihs, but it wouldn't work at first.

I was able to contact someone who had it. The secret was that you need to put in COMPLETELY BLANK drives. Meaning no partitions or anything. I guess its a safeguard built in? If you don't the system doesn't ever get to "ready", so the drives never become mountable.

Once i put in a completely blank drive, the status lights turned green, and I was able to access the config page through http://<ip of the machine>.
Default name/password is admin/admin.

In case anyone ever needs to find this info out.

Thanks for everyone's help!
