• The main unit can get very hot. This is completely normal. Be careful not to get burned when touching the main unit regardless of whether it is turned on or off. After the main unit has been turned off it takes several minutes to cool down.
• Make sure you leave a space of at least 15 cm (6 inches) to the sides, to the back and to the top of the main unit. This space is needed for ventilation purposes. Do not cover and do not place objects on the main unit less than 15 cm (6 inches) from it. Do not insert object through the ventilation holes.
• Keep out of reach of children
• Make sure you place the main unit on a perfectly horizontal vibration free surface
• Do not move the main unit when turned on
• Do not operate or store the main unit under strong magnetic fields
• Do not remove, modify or move any default firewall rules if you're not sure what they mean. Default firewall rules are designed to ensure maximum protection and proper functioning. Incorrect firewall configuration may interrupt network connectivity or expose tumaBox and your local network to external threats.

1. Make sure you read carefully all the warnings and comply with all requirements
2. Unpack all items and insert the batteries in the remote control. See package contents for more details.
3. Connect the cables as follows:
   • Connect the 2 anntenas to the main unit. Make sure to screw the plugs properly but without forcing them
   • Connect the infrared sensor to a USB port on the main unit
   • Connect the network cable (UTP with RJ-45 plug) from your ISP connection to ethernet port 1 on the main unit
   • Connect the network cable (UTP with RJ-45 plug) from your computer to ethernet port 2 on the main unit. If you will only use wireless you can skip this connection.
   • Connect the TV to the HDMI port or a monitor to the DVI port on the main unit
   • Optionally connect the keyboard or mouse
4. Plug the provided flash stick into a USB port on the tumaBox main unit
5. Plug in the provided power adapter and then connect it to the main unit
6. Turn on the connected TV or monitor and choose the appropriate input source if necessary
7. Power on the main unit by pressing the power button on the front
8. Wait until the main unit finishes booting and you see the main graphical interface on the connected TV or monitor. The booting process can take a few minutes especially on the first run.
9. If you use a cable connection from your computer it should have connected automatically. Make sure that the computer is connected successfully. If it hasn't connected properly try to switch the ethernet cables on the main box and then wait 1 minute and check again. If it still doesn't work refresh your ip settings on your computer.
10. If you use only your wireless connection (you didn't connect any network cable from your computer) you need to connect to the wlan access point. The access point is named 'tumabox' and the password is 'tumaboxwlan'. Wait until you see the access point on your wireless device( computer, notebook, mobile phone, tablet…). It may take a while even after the main unit finished booting.
11. When the computer is connected either wireless or wired, open up your favorite web browser and enter the following url: http://192.168.1.1
12. On the login page use the username 'admin' and password 'tumabox'
13. The very first thing you need to do is to change your password. On the left panel go to System → General Settings. On the right panel switch to the 'Web Administrator Password' and type in the new password. Click the 'Save' button . Make sure you do not skip this step and do not forget the new password as from now on this will be your 'admin' password and you will have to use it to access the configuration area.
14. On the left panel go to System → Date & Time. On the right panel choose the appropriate time zone and check 'Use NTP server' if you want your time to be periodically synchronized to public time servers from the internet. Click the 'Save' button and then the 'Apply' button in the top right corner (it make take a few seconds to apear).
15. On the left panel go to System → Network. On the right panel go to 'Interfaces' tab. Here you have to configure the network interface according to your internet provider instructions. Your external internet connection will always be eth0 and this is the only one you need to configure. If your provider uses PPPoE (ask your provider if you do not remember) and you connect it directly to tumabox (no router in between) go to the PPPoE tab, check 'Enabled' and put your PPPoE username and password given to you by your internet provider. Click the 'Save' button and then the 'Apply' button in the top right corner.If your internet is via DHCP you should have already been connected by default and for other types, edit the eth0 according to your provider informations.This is a key step, so be sure to get it right from the first time.
16. On the left panel go to System → Wireless AP and modify the settings as needed. It's very important to change the password, because the password you have now is public. You can change your SSID, this will be your wireless name. If you decide to change the channel you should know that some channels may not be available in your location or they might not work properly. If you choose a wrong channel you might not be able to connect at all. If you're not sure choose channel 5,6 or 7. Click the 'Save' button and then the 'Apply' button in the top right corner. If you have connected via wireless you will have to reconnect using the new password and options.

By default tumaBox is configured with what we think to be optimal settings. Of course these don't suit everybody and this is why further configuration might be necessary. The default firewall rules (you can access them at System → Network and then 'Firewall' tab) allow all local traffic and only ssh, owncloud, openvpn and bittorrent traffic from outside. If you need any other services to be accessible from the internet you will have to add the appropriate rules here. Please notice that IPv4 and IPv6 rules are configured separately.

Do not remove, modify or move any default firewall rules if you're not sure what they mean. Default firewall rules are designed to ensure maximum protection and proper functioning. Incorrect firewall configuration may interrupt network connectivity or expose tumaBox and your local network to external threats. Make sure you really know what you're doing before modifying firewall rules.

This subsection is only for those who have 2 or more HDDs and want to use RAID. If you only have 1 HDD or you don't want to use RAID please skip to the next subsection to see how to configure filesystems.

On the left panel go to Storage → RAID Management and then on the left panel click 'Create'. Choose a name for your RAID array and then a RAID level. You can find out more about RAID levels on Wikipedia. You have to notice that RAID-0 is Stripe, RAID-1 is Mirror and JBOD is Linear. Then choose the devices that you want to put in your RAID array and click 'Save'. Don't forget to Save and Apply changes if needed.

In order to be able to use your storage you need a filesystem. On the left panel go to Storage → Filesystems and on the right panel click 'Create'. Choose your RAID array if you're using RAID or your HDD if you're not using RAID. Choose a label of your choice; this should be something that would help you identify the filesystem more easilly. Then choose filesystem. We recommend using EXT4 if you're not sure. Then click 'OK', confirm and wait until the filesystem creation process is finished. Then click 'Mount' and apply the changes. The storage should be now accessible on your tumaBox.

If you have several HDDs and you're not using RAID you should repeat the step for each device. Be carefull not to format drives other than HDDs (eg: flash stick, SSD etc.) because they are used differently.

Depending on your operating system and your preference you might want to use one of the several services listed below. Refer to your operating system documentation for how to access a specific service once you enable it on tumaBox.

• SMB/CIFS - this is the Windows native protocol for accessing files and folders over network. It is also supported by many other operating systems such as Linux or Mac OS. In order to enable it go to Services → SMB/CIFS, tick the “Enable” box, click “Save” and then “Apply. Then you need to share something. In order to do so go to the 'Shares' tab, Click 'Add' and at 'Shared folder' click the plus sign button. Give it a name and choose the HDD you want to share. Then choose the path that you want to share. If you want to share the entire HDD choose '/'. Check that all other options suit your needs and then click 'Save' and 'Apply'. Before you can connect to your share you have to create a new user for it. It's a good idea to use the same username that you use on the client. On the left tab go to 'Acces Rights Management' → User and on the right tab click 'Add'. You must choose a username and password, click 'Save' and apply the changes. On your client you should now be able to access \\192.168.1.1\<name of the share> with the coresponding username and password. Depending on your operating system you might have to replace backslashes (\) with slashes (/).
• NFS - this is the protocol of choice for Unix/Linux but it's also supported by other operating systems. In the 'Settings' tab, tick 'Enable' and then save and apply changes. Now you need to share something over NFS. Go to the 'Shares' tab, Click 'Add' and at 'Shared folder' click the plus sign button. Give it a name and choose the HDD you want to share. Then choose the path that you want to share. If you want to share the entire HDD choose '/'. Check the permissions and then click 'Save'. Next you have to choose the range of IPs that will have access to the share. If you want your entire local network to access it choose 192.168.1.0/24. Check the privilege, click 'Save' and apply changes. In order to access the share you must have the username from the client configured on tumaBox. In order to do so on the left tab go to 'Acces Rights Management' → User and on the right tab click 'Add'. You must choose a username (the same from the client) and password, click 'Save' and apply the changes. On your NFS client you can now access 192.168.1.1:/export and find all your NFS exported directories here.
• FTP - this protocol is widely used on virtually all operating systems. It may come preinstalled on some Linux distros but you will have to install third party software on many other operating systems. For your local network you should probably stick with CIFS or NFS if you're not sure that you need FTP.
• Rsync - a powerfull tool for power users. If you don't want to get your hands dirty stick to one of the other protocols.

If you want the services to be accessible from the entire internet don't forget to open the necessary ports in the firewall. The default is to let them accessible only from local network.

If you didn't got through all the above steps you might be better off using a wired connection to make the initial configuration. If you still want to use the wireless connection you might have to perform a rescan on your device (maybe the refresh button) or even a manual connection setup. Refer to the documentation of your device for this.

There is also a possiblity that you device might be incompatible with the tumabox default wireless settings especially if it's an older device. We try to insure maximum compatibility with our default settings but we can't cover all the devices. You might want to try with another wireless device or even better with a wired device.

If you used to have connectivity with the default settings and you lost connectivity after changing wireless settings you will have to connect with a wired device to change the wireless settings on tumabox.

When having wireless connectivity problems you should try changing the channel. In order to do that go to 'Wireless AP' on the configuration interface (http://192.168.1.1). You can start with channel 5,6 or 7. Don't forget to press the change button and then the 'Save changes' button.

First of all you have to give it a minute or two after the main unit finished booting in order for the wired computer to obtain an ip address. The first thing to do is to try to renew the ip address. Depending on your operating system this can sometimes be achieved by disabling the network interface and re-enabling it. Again give it a minute or two to obtain the ip address.

If it still doesn't work switch the ethernet ports on tumabox. Plug the network cable from your ISP on tumabox ethernet port 2 and the local computer cable to ethernet port 1. Then redo all the above steps.
