Gateway. The TerraBlock Server’s hostname can be found by typing the command
‘hostname’ in the command window, or by right clicking ‘My Computer’ and choosing
‘Properties’.
Either the TerraBlock Server’s IP address or hostname (Example:
TerraBlock24D) will be needed to complete the network setup from
the client stations that will be connecting to the TerraBlock Server via
Ethernet.
Make note of both the TerraBlock Server’s IP address and the
TerraBlock Server’s hostname.
Enabling the Ethernet Option on the Server
Once the TerraBlock Server is cabled to the Ethernet switch and the IP address is
set, the Ethernet option can be enabled (the Ethernet option should be enable for all
new TerraBlock servers). To do this, open the TerraBlock Manager on the TerraBlock
Server. At the top of the TerraBlock Manager select the “File” menu and choose
“Network Configuration”. The Ethernet option should be enable for all new
TerraBlock servers.
Select the “Enable Network Configuration” check box within the Configure TerraBlock
Network dialog box. This will enable the Ethernet option on the TerraBlock Server.
A reboot is required after this feature is enabled. After reboot the SMDriveMonitor
will verify that the service is listening on port 859.
The default network port
number is (859). If a
different port number for
your network is desired,
make this change prior to
rebooting.
Warning: In the TerraBlock Manager running on the TerraBlock
Server, leave all IP address fields blank in the Network
Configuration setting. Entering an IP address in these fields
when running the TerraBlock Manager on the Server itself will
cause incorrect behaviors when mounting volumes and result
in an extended delay when launching the TerraBlock Manager.
For optimal performance the Windows Firewall Service should
be disabled in Computer Management
