PlatinumRAID Owner’s Manual
Chapter 6 - RAID Controls-Web Interface
Introduction
The PlatinumRAID controller firmware includes a complete HTML-based weblet application that
allows all configuration and monitoring to be performed across any IP based network, and utilizes
standard web browsers for interfacing. This Chapter describes the menu and control structure for
your PlatinumRAID using the web interface. The RAID subsystem configuration utility is firmware
based and its operation is independent of host computer type or operating system.
Preparation
To ensure proper communications between the RAID subsystem and Web browser-based
RAID management, Please connect a standard, Cat5 ethernet cable to the RJ45 network jack
on the back of your PlatinumRAID and atach to your existing network. In order to access the
web administration utility please note the IP address displayed on the LCD screen. Launch
your firmware-embedded TCP/IP & Web Browser-based RAID manager by entering http://[IP
Address] in your web browser. The RAID subsystem controller default User Name is “admin”
and there is no password assigned from the factory. Please refer to section 6.2 for more
information regarding security.
Login Procedure
The controller will prompt for user ID and password when
initially logging in. The default user ID is admin and no
password (leave the password field blank). The PlatinumRAID
ships without a password defined, but is user changeable
to protect the internal RAID subsystem from unauthorized
entry.) Upon login, the unit will display the user interface and
system information as illustrated:
