Mask), and Gateway variables.

messages if there is a problem.

essential for Windows users.

shutdown schedule.
Utilities
These utilities are not required for normal operation. They are
tools to help you better manage the GigaDrive.
• Disk Check the disk for errors. (Similar to Scandisk.)
Because the disk check takes from a half hour to several
hours, this is best done as an overnight task. After starting
a scan, the process should not be interrupted.
• Log Check the system log. This is provided only for trou-
bleshooting.
• Upgrade Upgrade the Instant GigaDrive's software.
Status
• Disk Check disk usage. This data is read-only.
• Printer Check the printer status, and delete the current
print job, or all print jobs.
• System Check System status. This data is read-only.
