  • Why can I not see the ASAP in Network Neighborhood?
  • Make sure that you have assigned the appliance/NAS to the same workgroup name as the computers that will access the shares. You can always search for the appliance/NAS (using either the unit name or IP address) in the network neighborhood. After you’ve found the unit, map it to a shortcut on your desktop. This will make future access quicker.
  • I can see the ASAP in my workgroup, but I can't access it.
  • This is probably due to the windows user login name being different than the user name in the appliance. This must match for WinME/98/SE as they do not have a network username/password prompt.
  • How do I get my Linux/Unix machine to see the ASAP?
  • Make sure to enable NFS under the advance NAS menu. Add a NFS mapping rule under that. Enter the Remote UID -- usually 0 for the root user. Enter the remote IP as your server IP with ' / 24 '. The /24 is the net mask (same as 255.255.255.0). Then you can use the Linux mount command to mount the unit on the server. The security rules are the same as your mapping user in our unit.
  • How many shares can I add to the ASAP?
  • You can add a maximum of 50 shared folders on the ASAP. You can have any amount of subfolders under these shares.
  • How many users can access it at once?
  • There is no hard coded limit for concurrent users. Your limit will be performance. Again, this device is meant for small offices/workgroups up to about 20 people depending on your performance requirements.
  • How do I access the ASAP on a domain?
  • Set the workgroup name as the domain name. When creating users, do not assign passwords. Currently we do not support domain login and therefore cannot verify passwords in a domain.
  • Does the ASAP IPSEC feature support connecting to NAT-T endpoints (ESP over UDP 4500)?
  • Our IPSEC supports connections over public IPs only.
  • How do I configure my ASAP to work with my cable modem?
  • Make sure that your appliance is set to DHCP client under Basic Settings. After the settings are saved, power down and UNPLUG your cable modem and the appliance. Wait for 2 minutes. Plug in and turn on the cable modem and wait for a link to be established. Turn on the appliance. After the appliance starts, about 45 seconds, check to see if you have a connection. If no, please contact technical support.
  • How do I FTP into the ASAP from outside of my network?
  • You must either have a static IP address from your internet service provider, or have a DDNS account with those listed on the ASAP UI. For more information on the DDNS setup, please refer to your User's Guide.
  • Where do I find the serial number for my ASAP?
  • On the back of the unit you will find a white label. The serial number is labeled as "S/N:" and is a 12 digit alpha-numeric string.
  • Does the ASAP come with any defrag utilities?
  • The ASAP is automatically configured to defrag the drive every ten days. Currently this cannot be changed by the user.
  • What is the tested transfer speed of the ASAP?
  • The ASAP has been tested at an average of 1.5MBps. While the ASAP is rated for a 10/100Mb LAN, the ASAP does not have the computing power of a computer to transfer at higher speeds. This is typical for SOHO NAS units. Enterprise level NAS units typically average at about 2.5MBps.
  • Can I use my ASAP as my primary backup?
  • Though you can use the NAS as your primary backup, this is not recommended. The only "secure" backup is on media, such as tape discs. Backing up to a media such as tape drives, recordable cd/dvd discs, zip drives, etc are the only sure way to ensure you have a solid backup. This is because the electronic components in the NAS are much like a computer and are subjective to the same problems as computers. TRITTON will not be responsible for any lost data on the TRITTON.
  • Will pressing the reset button on the back of the unit cause any data loss?
  • The reset button on the back of the unit is used to reset the user interface password back to "admin" and the internal IP address to its default, "172.16.1.1." The reset button will not effect the rest of the settings.
  • How many PPTP pass through sessions are allowed?
  • There are no limitations to the amount of simultaneous sessions. However, we do recommend about 10-15 users at once before the performance of the unit will be noticeable slower. Our unit is also a PPTP server.
  • How many IPSEC pass through sessions are allowed at once?
  • There are no limitations to the amount of simultaneous sessions. However, we do recommend about 10-15 users at once before the performance of the unit will be noticeable slower.
  • How long is the warranty on my ASAP?
  • The warranty on the unit is one year from purchase date. You must register with TRITTON to receive warranty repair. For more warranty information, please see our customer service section.
  • Does the ASAP require any software to be loaded on the clients?
  • No. The ASAP is software independent and does not require any special software. The ASAP uses standard TCP/IP protocols to communicate.
  • Why do I need to install the latest firmware?
  • It is important to keep your firmware updated to solve many of the issues you may be having. We will release bug fixes, new features, improvements, and some times critical flaws. Also, the first step the technical support personnel will have you do is make sure you have the latest firmware.
  • Are there any file transfer size limitations?
  • Yes. Currently, there is a limitation of 2GB transfer with the ASAP product lines. This may make some backup programs inoperable with the unit. TRITTON is aware of the problem and is working on a resolution.
  • Why is the ASAP Web Server not available for download?
  • The ASAP Web Server firmware is not available for download because it could possibly damage the ASA1000 series if someone attempted to install it on the wrong model. You must contact TRITTON and request the web server firmware, which will be emailed to you.
  • What is the unit using to run its Web Server?
  • The ASAP Web Server is not running Apache or a known web server software package. The Web Server is running its own applet for the web server functionality. This is why we recommend the web server to be used on a personal or small application level.
  • Can the Web Server feature handle CGI/PHP scripts?
  • The web server functionality is purely meant for a personal use. It can not run scripts internally as you can not install and configure PHP on it.

  • Check your light status first. You should have green lights on the WAN and LAN ports, a flashing blue HB light, and the HD light should only blink when there is activity to the hard drive. And, of course, the power light should be constant. If the LAN lights are not active, make sure the LAN cable is good and plugged in securely. If the WAN light is off, move the switch on the back of the unit to its alternate position.
  • Ping the unit. Make sure your computer has communication to the unit. Open up a command prompt and type "ping 172.16.1.1" (without the quotes). If you changed the IP on the unit, use that IP in place of the default IP address. If you are unable to ping the unit, but have good status lights, make sure your computers IP scheme matches that of the ASAP. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for more information.
  • Reset the unit. On the back of the unit there is a reset button. Hold the button in for five seconds, or five beeps. This will reset the admin password and the IP address to its default IP. Ping the unit again and then try to access the user interface to configure the unit for your network.
  • Make sure you have no firewall software running. Programs like Zone Alarm or Norton Internet Security can interfere with communication to the NAS. Either turn these programs off temporarily to access the unit, or refer to the programs documentation on how to configure the firewall to communicate with the ASAP's IP address.
  • Check your workgroup name. If you can not view the unit in your workgroup (under Network Places), make sure the workgroup name on the ASAP matches your computer's workgroup. You can also do a Search in Windows by the ASAP's IP address to find the unit.
