Note: Changing the IP address or subnet mask can have several effects:
• Access to the Manager is temporarily disrupted. If you access the Manager using a
Web browser and an IP address, you needs to use the new IP address. In addition, if
you added the storage system’s IP address to a local hosts file or DNS server, you
must update the IP address in those resources.
• Users who accessed the shared folders using the previous IP address is disconnected
and must access them again using the new IP address as described in “Accessing
Shared Folders” on page 79.
• Users running Intel

Client Backup and Recovery 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/Mac OS X users to use a Web browser to access the public folder. For more
information, see “Accessing Shared Folders using FTP” on page 85.
To change any of the network settings:
1. In the navigation bar, click Advanced.
2. In the left pane, click Network.
3. Make the desired changes:
To change this Do this
The workgroup to which the
storage system belongs
In the Workgroup name text box, enter the name of the workgroup.
This name can be up to 15 characters long.
The IP address(es) used by
the storage system
In the Port 1 group box, either select Get an IP address automatically to obtain
the IP address from your DHCP server, or select Use this IP address and enter the
IP address and subnet mask in the subsequent text boxes.
If you select Get an IP address automatically and your network does not
have a DHCP server, or if the storage 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.
If you are using the second Ethernet port, do the same in the Port 2 group box.
The IP address of the
gateway
If your network includes a gateway, and if the first port on the storage system uses a
specified IP address rather than obtaining one from the DHCP server, enter the IP
address of the default router in the Gateway IP address text boxes. This is typically
the same IP address as the first port, with the last number being 1.
If your network does not include a gateway, or if the first port obtains its IP address
from the DHCP server, leave these text boxes blank. If the first port obtains its IP
address from a DHCP server, the gateway obtains its IP address from the DHCP
server as well.
