You can change these settings at any time.
Note: Changing the I P address or subnet mask can have several effects:
l Access to t he Manager will be temporarily disrupted . If you access the
Manager using a Web browser and an IP address, you will need to use the
new I P address. I n addition , if you added the storage system’s IP address to a
local
hosts file or DNS server , you must update t he IP address in t hose
resources.
l 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”)
l Users running DiskSafe Express must restart that application. If a backup or
recovery
was in progress and did not complete successfully , perform the action
again.
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
and
Mac OS X users to use a Web browser to access the public folder . For more
informa
t ion, refer to “Accessing shared folders using FTP”.
To change any of the network settings:
1 . In the naviga t ion bar , click Advanced .

system
is directly attached to your computer, the default IP
address
and subnet mask are used. (The default IP address
is 192.168.0.101, and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0).
