Setting up Aggregation Failover
The server's two LAN ports can be configured for link aggregation, which means you can
connect both LAN ports to your network at the same time for failover protection: the other link
(port) takes over if one link fails. See page 38.
To set up link aggregation, connect both of your BlackArmor server's LAN ports to the
network switch or router, using two Ethernet cables. Then, open BlackArmor Manager (see
page 17) and select Aggregation as the LAN setting. LAN settings are in the Network menu.
For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help.
Setting Your BlackArmor Server as a Media Server
You can store photos, videos, and music on your BlackArmor server so that they can be
accessed by anyone.
You can use BlackArmor Manager to turn the server into a media server, and set it to
download media files into default folders automatically. For instance, if a user was
downloading music files, they would download into the user's Music folder automatically.
You can also turn your BlackArmor server into an iTunes server so that a BlackArmor user
can stream music directly to a network computer with iTunes installed, or to an iPod
connected to a network computer.
To set up your BlackArmor server as a media server, open BlackArmor Manager (see
page 17) and go to the Media menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor
Manager, refer to the online Help.
