1.3.2 Accessing the IPCorder over network
On start-up, IPCorder tries to obtain an IP address via DHCP; if unsuccessful, the IP address defaults
to 192.168.1.78. If the IPCorder is in the same subnet as the PC the IPCorder is to be accessed from, it
should appear in Network Devices (under Microsoft Windows).
After entering the IP Address of the IPCorder in a www browser's address bar (Mozilla Firefox or
Internet Explorer 6, for example), the rescue mode interface should display.
1.4 Storage settings
This version of IPCorder supports the creation of RAID arrays across multiple disks. This means one to
four disks are possible for storage.
Storage space conguration is done in Rescue Mode and is described on the Storage Conguration
page (Section 1.4). The page can be accessed using the link by the same name. There, the system
indicates the status of each disk.
<
If RAID has not been congured, the system allows new arrays to be created.
The array type needs to be selected (RAID type):
ˆ Linear the resulting array will have a capacity equal to the sum of the disks. If one of the disks
malfunctions, the data from the entire array may be lost. The speed is the same as that of a single
disk.
ˆ RAID 0 identical to the linear RAID array, but has faster data access. It can only be created from
disks of the same capacity.
If all disks have the same capacity, the RAID 0 array type is recommended.
Once the choice has been conrmed with the Create RAID Array button, the system creates the array
and initializes the storage space. This step may take a long time, depending on the array type, and must
not be interrupted. Any interruption may cause damage to the system.
