Accessing the Manager
You can access the Manager to add users, create shared folders, and perform other tasks related to
managing your storage system.
There are two ways to access the Manager:
• Using a Web browser (Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
6.0 or Firefox 1.06 or newer)
• Using the Storage System Console (a Windows application which must be installed on each
computer where you want to use it)
Using a Web browser, you can access the Manager from any computer in your network, but you
must know the name or IP address of the storage system. In addition, if you configured the storage
system to use a specific IP address, you might need to specify the IP address of the gateway in your
network before you can successfully access the Manager using a Web browser. First access the
Manager using the Console and then specify the gateway address (as described in “Changing the
network settings” on page 51) and try to access it using a Web browser.
Using the Console, you can access the Manager only from a computer in the same subnet as the
storage system, but you do not have to know the name or IP address of the storage system or
otherwise modify the network settings.
Note
The Console launches a Web browser, so the computer where you install the Console must have
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.06 or newer installed as well.
The default IP address of the system is 192.168.0.101 in subnet 255.255.255.
Accessing the Manager Using a Web Browser
To access the Manager using a Web browser:
1. From any computer in your network, run Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Firefox 1.06 or
newer, enter the following in the address bar, and then press Enter:
http://storage_system
where “storage_system” is the name or IP address of the storage system.
Note
You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with a DNS or WINS server
on your network.
When the login page appears, you can bookmark it so that you can quickly and easily access it the
next time.
2. Log in to the Manager (as described in “Logging in to the Manager” on page 18).
