ConnectStor II User Manual
20
You would change these settings if configuring ConnectStor II for use by a specific
department or workgroup that operates within a larger local area network. The numbers
shown above are merely examples. Consult your network administrator as to the correct
information to input in the appropriate fields as follows:
Server Name:
allows the user to change the network name of the device as it appears on
the network
Server Description:
allows user to provide a brief description of the unit and content it
may contain (such as an Accounting Data Server)
IP Address:
allows user to set fixed IP address for the unit if NOT using a DHCP server
to assign the address dynamically
NetMask:
typically the default address (255.255.255.0) unless you're creating a subnet
(a logical division of a physical network)
Broadcast:
the address used to send data to all host servers on a particular logical
network.
Gateway:
address that links different parts of a network together (default is 0.0.0.0)
Workgroup/Domain
: inputting a specific workgroup or domain name.
Enable WINS Server:
checking the Enable box and entering the address of the WINS
Server (may not be available on your network) eliminates the need for network broadcast
requests to resolve computer names and IP addresses
