Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks
USB and eSATA Storage Expansion
The Thecus IP storage supports external USB hard disks through its USB ports. Once
a USB hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be linked
automatically to the default USB HDD folder. The Thecus IP storage supports USB
external storage devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
The Thecus IP storage also supports eSATA hard disks with its eSATA port.
Before attaching an eSATA or USB disk drive to Thecus IP storage, you have to
partition and format it on a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached
device will be located at \\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sd(x)1 where 192.168.1.100
means the IP address of Thecus IP storage and sd(x)1 stands for the first partition
on the eSATA or USB disk drive.
Adding a Spare Disk
With a RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, or RAID 10 volume, you can add a spare disk after
the initial RAID is setup. To add a spare disk, follow the steps below:
1. On the RAID Configuration Screen, tick the checkbox of the hard disk you
wish to designate as a spare disk.
2. Click Add Spare. The disk will be configured as a spare disk. The system
automatically rebuilds the spare disk when one of the disks in the RAID set
fails.
Remote Administration
You can set up your Thecus IP storage for remote administration. With remote
administration, you can access your Thecus IP storage over the Internet, even if
your Thecus IP storage is behind a router. This is especially useful if you are
traveling and suddenly need a file from your Thecus IP storage.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the
following equipment:
 Thecus IP storage device
 Cable / DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support
 Home PC
 Internet Connection
NOTE
Router setup will differ slightly depending on router used. For this example,
we will use the Asus WL500g because it has support for Dynamic DNS.
Contact your router hardware vendor for setup help.
