Terminal Services and the IBM NAS Administration console
If you are familiar with Windows operating systems, you can use Terminal Services.
In some cases, you must use Terminal Services to complete administrative tasks.
You can access Terminal Services in two ways:
1. Through the UM Services browser, as described in “Starting UM Services” on
page 21.
2. By using the Terminal Services Client software.
Installing Terminal Services
To use the Terminal Services Client, complete the following steps to install it on the
remote workstation and connect to the NAS Gateway 300 appliance:
1. Insert the Supplementary CD-ROM into the workstation CD-ROM drive.
2. Select Start → Run .
3. In the Open field, type (with quotation marks)
" x :\Terminal Services Client\Disk 1\setup.exe"
where x is the drive letter assigned to the CD-ROM drive.
4. Click OK to begin the Terminal Services Client Setup program.
5. Accept the defaults in each window that opens or refer to the Microsoft
Windows documentation for more instructions.
6. When the Terminal Services Client Setup program completes, ensure that the
workstation has network-connectivity to the NAS appliance so that you can
administer the appliance.
Connecting to the desktop through Terminal Services
To connect to Terminal Services from your workstation, do the following:
1. Click Start → Programs → Terminal Services → Terminal Services Client .
2. In the Server field, select the computer name of the appropriate NAS Gateway
300. If that NAS Gateway 300 is not listed, type the IP address or the computer
name of the NAS Gateway 300. The computer name is predefined as
IBM5196-
xxxxxxx , where xxxxxxx is the serial number located in the lower right
corner of the bezel on the front of the appliance. If you have changed the
computer name from the predefined value, use that name instead.
Note: Although you can do so, it is recommended that you not change the
default computer name to avoid the chance of propagating
misidentification through the system. And, if you are using IBM Director
to manage your appliance, and you change the default name, the default
name continues to appear in IBM Director.
3. For Size , select a screen size in which the NAS Gateway 300 desktop will
appear. It is recommended that you choose a size other than full screen.
4. Click Connect to start the Terminal Services Client session. A user login window
opens.
5. Log in. Type Administrator in the Username field, type password in the
Password field, and then click OK to log in. After you log in, you can begin
using Terminal Services Client to configure and manage the NAS Gateway 300,
as if a keyboard, mouse, and monitor were directly attached to it. The NAS
Gateway 300 desktop contains a shortcut, titled
IBM NAS Admin , to a special
console, the IBM NAS Administration console.
