The RAIDar Setup Utility

The RAIDar utility acts as a discovery tool for the ReadyNAS device or devices on your
network, and enables easy setup and management of all your ReadyNAS units.

RAIDar Installation

To install RAIDar:
1. If not already installed, install the RAIDar utility from your product Resource CD.
RAIDar installation options are provided for Windows, MAC, and Linux.
2. Once installed, connect your ReadyNAS to the network and launch the RAIDar Setup Utility.
RAIDar automatically locates the units in the network without needing its IP address, and
makes it easy to see the status of your units. You should see one or more of your
ReadyNAS devices listed.
The default IP configuration is set to DHCP; if the unit does not get an IP address, it
defaults to 192.168.168.168.
Note: If you are running RAIDar on Windows XP before SP2, disable the
Internet connection firewall.
If no ReadyNAS device is detected, check the following and click the Rescan button to try
again.
• Make sure the ReadyNAS device is powered up and is connected to your network.
• Make sure that the PC in which you have installed RAIDar is on the same subnet as
the ReadyNAS device.
