Thecus 2TB Storage Server N299 N299_2100 Leaflet

Use the Network menu to make 
network configuration settings as 

well as service support settings. 

From the Network menu, choose 
WAN, and the WAN Configuration 

screen appears. This screen displays 
the network parameters of the WAN 

connection. You may change any of 
these items and press Apply to 

confirm your settings. You can see a 
description of each item in the 

following table:  

 
 

Item Description 
Host name 

Host name that identifies the N299 on the network. 

Domain name 

Specifies the domain name of the N299. 

MAC Address 

Display the WAN port MAC address. 

Jumbo Frame Support 

Enable or disable Jumbo Frame Support of the WAN interface on 
your N299. 

Connection Type 

The WAN IP can be set to a Static IP, Dynamic IP, or PPPoE. 

Static: Administrator has to enter IP, Netmask, Gateway, DNS 
Server fields. 

Dynamic: If there is already a DHCP server on your network, 

you can let the DHCP server assign an IP address to your N299. 
NOTE: If this is set to Dynamic, but a DHCP server is not 

detected on the WAN network, the IP address of the N299 will 
reset to the default setting of 192.168.1.100. 
PPPoE: The N299 can also support a direct connection to an 

ASDL modem through PPPoE. Once selected, you will need to 
enter a User Name and Password. 

User Name 

Enter your user name for PPPoE connection. (PPPoE only) 

Password 

Enter your password for PPPoE connection. (PPPoE only) 

IP

Network mask, which is generally: 255.255.255.0 

Netmask

•  Only use Jumbo Frame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where 

all other clients have Jumbo Frame Setting enabled. 

•  Enabling DHCP automatically turns on UPnP — See the Service Support 

Screen. 

•  If you are only using the WAN port, we suggest that you disable IP Sharing 

Mode. This will result in higher throughput. 

•  A correct DNS setting is vital to networks services, such as SMTP and NTP. 

 

 

 

Most Fast Ethernet (10/100) Switches/Routers do not support Jumbo Frame and 
you will not be able to connect to your N299 after Jumbo Frame is turned on. If this 

happens, turn off the N299. Then, power on the N299 and immediately press and 
hold the Reset button on the front of the unit for 10 seconds. This will reset your 

network settings, password, and turn off Jumbo Frame Support.
