The “Power Mode” switch on the back of the unit
has three positions: “Auto”, “On”, and “Off”. The
“Auto” position automatically powers the unit on
or off with your PC. If your PC is turned on the
LinkStation will power up; if the PC is turned off
the LinkStation will power down.
You must have installed the NAS Navigator2
software on your PC for this feature to work.
Otherwise, if you move the switch to “auto”, your
unit will power down by itself and you will have to
manually turn it back on.
Also note that the unit needs to be powered on to
use either Web Access or BitTorrent. If you use
either of these features regularly, it is best to leave
the Power Mode switch set to “On”.
Move the switch to the “Off” position to turn the
LinkStation off. It will take about 35 seconds to
shut down. Do not unplug or interrupt power to
the unit until shutdown is complete and the Status
LED is no longer lit.

a PC, the setup wizard will launch automatically. Select your preferred

Alternately, you can launch the program manually. Open your
LinkNavigator CD and click on “Lang.exe”.
If you are installing the software on a Mac, open the CD and click on the
LinkNavigator icon to begin installation.
