Managing Your Ethernet Disk RAID
The
Network
page (Fig. 5.7.5) displays the network
settings that were set when you initially configured the
Ethernet Disk RAID. (Only the first Ethernet port was
configured during setup. The second uses its default set-
tings unless you change them here.) You can change
these settings at any time.
You can also configure the Ethernet Disk RAID to
act as a DHCP server. In other words, the system can
assign IP addresses to other computers in your network,
simplifying the network configuration of each individ-
ual system.
In addition, your Ethernet Disk RAID can act as
an FTP server. This allows all Windows or Mac OS X
users to use a Web browser to access the public folder.
They can also access their personal folder that was cre-
ated automatically when their user name was added (as
described in section
5.4.1. Adding Users
). For more
information, refer to section
5.7.6. Reconfiguring the
Disks
.
TeChNICAl NOTe:
Changing the IP ad-
dress or subnet mask can have several effects:
Access to the Manager will be temporarily dis-
rupted. If you access the Manager using a Web
browser and an IP address, you will need to use
the new IP address. In addition, if you added the
Ethernet Disk RAID’s IP address to a local hosts
file or DNS server, you must update the IP ad-
dress in those resources.
Users who accessed the shared folders using the
previous IP address will be disconnected and
must access them again using the new IP address
(as described in section
6.1. Accessing Shared
Folders
).
