Installing the Software
Updating Your Firewall's Trusted Program List
The HP MediaSmart Server Software Installation Disc installs several programs that
enable your computer to communicate with the HP MediaSmart Server over your
network. Software firewalls installed on your computer can block this communication
and prevent the computer from locating the HP MediaSmart Server on your network. The
following steps are recommended before installing the HP MediaSmart Server programs:
•
Launch your firewall and anti-virus software and update the trusted programs list.
•
Verify that your firewall and anti-virus software is set to "Learn" new programs.
After the HP MediaSmart Server software is installed, the firewall should prompt
you to allow the installed programs to communicate with the server. The HP
MediaSmart Server requires that the following programs be excepted
•
DoTask
•
HPHSConnector
•
MediaAggregator
•
MountBackup
•
RestoreOffProc
•
WHSTrayApp
•
WHSConsoleClient
•
Windows Home Server Connector
•
If you are using a firewall or anti-virus program that cannot automatically update
its trusted software list, please contact the firewall or anti-virus software vendor to
find out how to manually add software to the trusted software list.
Hubs and Network Health Light
Some network hubs, as opposed to switches or routers, may reduce performance between
your computer and the HP MediaSmart Server, or the hub may prevent your computer
from communicating with the server. If this is a problem, the network health indicator
light on the front of the server will be off. Replacing the hub with a switch may improve
the network performance or restore connectivity.
Installing the First Computer
Use the Software Installation Disc to install both the HP MediaSmart Server software and
the Windows Home Server Connector software. You can also install the Server software
