Managing Your Storage System
You can change these settings at any time.
Note
Changing the IP address or subnet mask can have several effects:
• Access to the Manager will be disrupted and you will have to access it again using the new IP
address.
• 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 “Accessing shared folders”
on page 27).
• Users who backed up their disks to the storage system using the previous IP address must
remove protection for all affected disks and protect their disks again, removing the storage
system from the list of backup locations and adding it again using the new IP address.
You can also configure the storage system to act as a DHCP server. In other words, the storage system
can assign IP addresses to other computers in your network, simplifying the network configuration
of each individual system.
In addition, your storage system 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. Windows users can also access the folder
created as a result of using the home feature in the Console (as described in “Using the Console” on
page 28). For more information, refer to “Accessing the Storage System Using FTP” on page 54.
To change any of the network settings:
1. In the navigation bar, click “Advanced”.
2. In the left pane, click “Network”.
3. Make the desired changes:
To change this
Do this
The workgroup to which the storage
system belongs
In the “Workgroup name” text box, enter the name of the
workgroup.
This name can be up to 15 characters long.
The IP address(es) used by the
storage system
In the “Port 1” group box, either select “Get an IP address
automatically” to obtain the IP address from your DHCP
server, or select “Use this IP address” and enter the IP
address and subnet mask in the subsequent text boxes.
If you’re using the second Ethernet port, do the same in
the “Port 2” group box.
The IP address of the gateway
If your network includes a gateway, and if the first port on
the storage system uses a specified IP address rather than
obtaining one from the DHCP server, enter the IP address
of the default router in the “Gateway IP address” text
boxes. (This is typically the same IP address as the first
port, with the last number being 1.)
If your network does not include a gateway, or if the first
port obtains its IP address from the DHCP server, leave
these text boxes blank. (If the first port obtains its IP
address from a DHCP server, the gateway will obtain its IP
address from the DHCP server as well.)
