#Qnap qfinder pro manual#

This is not documented in the official manual but is mentioned by users on the Qnap forums. Apparently you can do a safe shutdown by holding the button for three seconds.

Rebooted using the button on the front of the 653D NAS.

I do not want to risk my data with a hard reboot.ĮDIT - I've also just tried the following but the problem persists I have not rebooted the NAS for the simple reason that I cannot connect to it to shut it down safely. Can someone point me to the solution? I've tried rebooting the switch and using a different MacBook. I've included some screen shots to illustrate the problem. But there is an orange exclamation point in the status column and attempts to connect fail followed by the NAS disappearing from Qfinder on subsequent scans.

All of the devices seem to be acquiring new IP addresses over DHCP and on an initial scan Qfinder sees the NAS. However, after relocating all of the above gear to a new location I have not been able to successfully connect and I cannot figure out what is the problem. Everything was working fine and I was able to connect to the NAS successfully over the network. That switch has one port leading to the internet and another port connected to a MacBook running Qfinder Pro.

Per the instructions, I enter the username 'admin' and password 'admin,' and the message I get is 'Login Failure: Invalid Username or Password.' Any ideas on where to start with a username and password for admin use?Įdit: I have restarted the NAS, but that has not helped.Įdit 2: I have completed an 'Advanced System Reset' with the hope I could start from scratch, but this has also not helped.I have a Qnap NAS connected to Qnap QSW-M2108-2C managed switch. *The default username and password is admin/admin. For more details on using Qfinder, please see the tutorial. The step by step process provided by QNAP online states:Īfter completing the installation process (or if your device has pre-installed firmware) you can connect to the NAS using Qfinder.

I've been able to install the hardware, latest firmware and format the drives, but cannot get the Qfinder running because I don't have an admin username and password - I haven't established this because at no point during the set up so far has there been a request to provide a username and password for the admin account. I feel like I am a little lost at this point - I follow you that I need an admin account rather than the QID on the NAS web interface, but I am stuck. Why can I log in online per the set-up instructions with no issues and when I try through Qfinder, it says ' Incorrect Username or Password?' Please help! I want to complete this install instead of return the unit. I ran across some statements about the default 'admin' username, but that doesn't help me if I've set up my account.ĭisks: WD 2TB Reds were read and formatted with no issues I read the QNAP manual and have searched for a few hours since then, on this forum as well as Googling away elsewhere, but I cannot figure out why I cannot login to Qfinder. The response: ' Incorrect Username or Password.' So, now I am stuck, after about 30 minutes into installation. I enter the very same login info I used to set up the web based myQNAPcloud site and hit enter. I hope you know what I am about to write, because that would make this sooo easy. So, I install the Qfinder program, launch it and it locates my unit. At this point I wonder to myself, where is the desktop dashboard I need to operate this NAS? I Google some more and it seems as if it is the Qfinder program. The default username and password is admin/admin. If your NAS is not connected to the Internet, you must downloadit to a computer and upload it to the NAS. The installation webpage will guide you through the installation process.

This statement gives absolutely no clues on how to install the QNAP centric '.qpkg' file type, so after some Googling, I see that I need to install the Qfinder utility. Using Qfinder Pro Search for your NAS and double click on it. I go online and login to myQNAPcloud and the infamous 'Please install the CloudLink QPKG' statement comes up when I try to get to the next step of install. Installed the hardware, installed the firmware, clicked 'Cloud Installation' and entered the appropriate Cloud Key and go through the account set-up process. I went through the set-up scenario as prescribed by QNAP. I read tons of reviews about how easy this unit is to set up and I agree, up to the point I got stuck.

Hi All, I am new to the forum - just received the TS-231 today.
