Configure Celiveo macOS NAS Job Transfer with Job Delegation

Configure the Windows NAS location on your Mac client workstation.

In the Finder, click the Go option and select Connect to server.

Provide the Windows NAS address and click the Connect button.

Provide the credentials to connect to the NAS location and click the Connect button.

The NAS folder is now available in your location list.

You can locate the actual location using the following command prompt:

Please note that the connection to the NAS location is lost every time the computer is restarted. To avoid having to reconnect it manually, follow one of the procedures below:

Method 1*

Open System Preferences and click on Users & Groups.
Select your user name from the list and then click the Login Items tab.
Drag & drop a mounted network drive into the login items list.
Optional: check the Hide box to keep the drives window from opening on each login and boot.
This can be used to automatically connect to and mount drives to share files with a Windows PC, though it is necessary to enable SAMBA beforehand within File Sharing preferences.

Method 2*

Launch Automator in OS X and create a new Application.
Drag Get Specified Server into the workflow, click Add and place the network drive network location address into the field.
Drag Connect to Server into the workflow.
Click on Run then log in to the network drive as usual to verify that it works, choosing to save the login credentials.
Save the Automator application.

Click on Delegate to choose the user to delegate to.

Enter the user you wish to delegate to and click Save.
