Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

I will be adding a second 323 tomorrow. Anything I should be aware of when adding a second NAS?
I think the first one is 192.168.0.32... the second one will be that, too... will it go to the next IP automatically, or will I have to change the IP of the first one?
TIA.

If you are using the ip that it came standard with and not a dhcp server, then you will need to manually change it to another one.

I have a number of devices in my network .. I just give them names like
DNS-323-1 or CH3SNAS-1 for the first one
DNS-323-2 or CH3SNAS-2 for the 2nd one
or give a name for its purpose
And yes all my devices have fixed IP

So do I remove the existing NAS (NAS1) and connect to the new one (NAS2) (at 192.168.0.32), and change the IP address (to, say, 192.168.0.33), then add back NAS1, and then configure NAS2?
ANything else I should keep in mind?

If the existing one has the default IP address and you want to keep it the same, then yes, unplug its network cable, plug in the new one, configure the new one with a different address, then plug the cable back into the first one. The other thing you need to make sure of is that you give each a unique name, such as suggested by zeroday.

Doesn't the DNS-323 by default try to obtain an IP through DHCP first? Only when it can't do so does it revert to 192.168.0.32.
If that's the case, and if your router has DHCP enabled, the new DNS-323's IP may not be 192.168.0.32. Use your router's device list or the Easy Search utility to find its IP.
