RNDU 4000 Is there a way to connect directly to a Mac computer?

Is it possible to use the device as external storage connected directly to a computer, as opposed to a network connection?

    You could directly the ethernet cable to the PC (setting up compatible static IP addresses on both the PC and the NAS).  But there is no other way to connect the NAS (in particular, USB will not work).
