Initial setup and configuration
This section provides details on the initial setup and configuration of the NAS
Gateway 300.
Note that if you are administering the NAS Gateway 300 without a keyboard,
monitor, and mouse (“headless” mode), you can use one of two methods:
v Terminal Services, which provides full administrative function. (See “Terminal
Services and the IBM NAS Administration console” on page 15.)
v Windows 2000 for Network Attached Storage, which provides a subset of the full
administrative function in Terminal Services. (See “Windows 2000 for Network
Attached Storage” on page 23.)
In general, you administer the appliance by adjusting information contained in the
following task groups:
Note: In this example, you access the task groups through the Windows 2000 for
Network Attached Storage Web-based GUI.

“Setting the date and time”
v “Setting up the network” on page 11
Although you can modify multiple appliance and network attributes in each task
group, the information given here is the minimum you need to know to administer

online help.

1. Click the Home tab and then select the task group link.
2. Click the top tab associated with that task group.
3. Click the Back button on the browser until you arrive Home and then select the
task group link.

access all of these task groups by clicking the titled tabs at the top of the page.)
