Stage 2 - Assigning an IP Address
The StorPoint NAS supports HTTP over TCP/IP, which means that it works as a Web server
available on the Internet and intranets. To establish communication with the TCP/IP network,
you must first assign an appropriate IP address to your StorPoint NAS. For example, this is needed
in order to access the StorPoint NAS Web interface.
Note:
Set the IP address using one of these methods, depending on your network environment:
Note:
Important!
If you are using DHCP, RARP or BOOTP, the IP address will be set automatically. On Windows
NT networks, DHCP is the preferred method since it allows a number of parameters to be set
automatically, provided the DHCP server has been configured to do so.
For additional IP-related settings, refer to “
Setting the TCP/IP Parameters
” on page 13.
If you are not using IP addressing in your network environment, i.e. if you are using the
StorPoint NAS in Windows (SMB over NetBEUI) or NetWare (pure IPX), you do not need to
set the IP address. You can then proceed directly to “
Accessing the Hard Disks
” on page 24, or to
the description of the NetWare NDS installation on page 17.

ARP and RARP operate on single network segments only, i.e. these methods cannot be used
over routers.
Acquire a valid and unused IP address for your StorPoint NAS from the Network Administrator.
Always consult the Network Administrator before making changes to the network configuration.
