Upon starting, the service established a connection across the Internet with MioNet. The client program was distributed in two formats: as a Java applet and an installable program. Both client formats could connect to the server, across either a LAN or the Internet, after first connecting to MioNet. The installable client program was initially required to register and associate the NAS with a MioNet account. MioNet then facilitated all connections to the NAS service. Once connected, the client could upload or download files to the NAS.
