When you click the Administration tab, a screen requesting the Administrator's password will appear. If this has
not been changed from the default setting (admin), enter the default name and password. Then, you can set the
Administrator's user name and password from the Administration tab's Users screen.
After logging in, you will see the Administration tab's LAN screen.
From the LAN screen, you will be able to configure some of the settings you saved from the Setup Wizard:
IP Address. Select the Automatically obtain an IP address (DHCP) setting if you already have a DHCP server
setting IP Addresses on your network devices. If you select Set IP configuration manually, you will set the
Storage Link 's IP Address and network information. Enter the following information.
• IP Address. Enter the Storage Link 's IP Address here, making sure that it is on the same LAN segment as
the PC running the Setup Wizard.
• Network Mask. Enter the Subnet Mask in the fields. It must match the other devices on your network. It
is set by default to 255.255.255.0.
• Gateway. This value is left blank by default. If you have a router on your network, however, enter its IP
Address here.
DNS Server. The DNS Server function translates Internet addresses to IP Addresses. Enter the same IP Addresses
as set on your network, or recommended by your ISP. You must complete at least one DNS Server entry if using
the "E-Mail Alerts" feature on the Status screen. Otherwise, the DNS entries may be left blank. When you
complete multiple fields, the first available server will be used.
Click the Save button to save any changes, Cancel to clear all changes, or Help to get further information about
anything on this screen.
