Connect to an Iomega NAS

This section provides detailed instructions for connecting an Iomega StorCenter px4-300r network
storage array to a Christie IMB. The instructions should be applicable to other Iomega NAS devices.
The IP addresses and folder names used in this document are provided as examples. Use IP
addresses and share names that are unique to your theater environment.
Complete the procedures in the order they are written.
Configure the Iomega NAS Network Settings
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a computer and the other end to the Ethernet port on
the Iomega NAS device.
2. Record the IP address displayed on the screen on the front of the Iomega NAS with the available
disk space and time.
If you have ordered a pre-configured Iomega NAS device from Christie, the IP address is already
assigned. If the Iomega NAS device is not pre-configured and there is not a Dynamic Host
Configuration protocol (DHCP) server on your network, the Iomega NAS device obtains a self
assigned IP address in the 169.254.x.x range.
If your computer cannot connect to the self assigned IP address, connect your computer to the
Iomega NAS device with a network cable. Open the Network settings on the Iomega
management screen and enter IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values that allow the
storage device to operate on your network.
3. Add your computer to the NAS device network:
a. On the computer, click Start > Control Panel.
b. Click Network and Sharing Center.
c. Click Change adapter settings in the left pane.
d. Right-click a network connection and select Properties.
e. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the This connection uses the following items
list.
f. Click Properties.
g. Select Use the following IP address.
h. Enter a non-conflicting IP address that allows the computer to communicate with the NAS
device in the IP address field. For example, if the IP address of the NAS device is
169.254.168.168, enter 169.254.168.169.
i. Enter 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet mask field.
j. Click OK.
4. On the computer, open a web browser and enter the IP address you recorded in step 2 in the
Address bar. Press Enter.
