 If Sync all is selected while both TerraBlock and LDAP users are
shown, existing TerraBlock users that do not exist on the LDAP server
will be deleted. TerraBlock users will then match only what the LDAP
server has provided. It is recommend to use this at initial setup when
there are no existing TerraBlock users.
TerraBlock Client Setup
There are two management tools for the TerraBlock Systems. TerraBlock manager is
the traditional application-based management tool, and web console is the new
management tool included with version 7. The Users and permissions for the Web
Console are held separately from the TerraBlock Manager. Changing to web console
will require that all users and permissions be set up using the web console. Web
console and TerraBlock manager will not carry the same information about user
database or mounted volumes if used in conjunction with each other on the same
network. The setup instructions below install both the TerraBlock Manager and Web
Console. For more information on the Facilis Web Console see the Facilis Web
Console Setup Guide.
Mac and Windows Clients
Once the necessary hardware and drivers are installed for connectivity to the
TerraBlock Server, the TerraBlock Manager will need to be installed. The TerraBlock
Manager Installer can be found on the supplied USB key or downloaded at
www.facilis.com/media.
The Windows Client installs into C:\Windows\FacilisTerraBlock\
The Mac client install into the Mac applications directory.
To set up Ethernet connectivity with the Facilis TerraBlock Manager launch the
applications and go to File>Network Configuration, enter the IP Address of the
TerraBlock server and choose ok. Close and re-launch the application.
