How to set WD 4 TB MyCloud as a network drive

Good Evening,


I lost my trusty MyBook drive after 20+years.

I have added a My Cloud 4TB device. It does appear to be on my network 
with it's own name and IP address. Now I need to know how do I use this 
new device as a mountable file system under NFS ala MyBook for backup 
purposes.

the MyBook was identified as:

koala:/nfs/cdjsys /big_archive nfs

Ideally if I could change the MyCloud host name and IP address to be the 
same one as the MyBook used and identify it a a NFS drive that would be 
all I really want.

The device was named koala and acted like another host with an IP of 
192.168.1.20.

How to I configure the MyCloud to act the same?

I do not want to use it as it is currently configured.

Thanks,
Jay
