Remote Management

In order to facilitate Remote Management, the FastStor 1 is equipped with an
Ethernet interface and a built in web server. The Remote Management Interface
(RMI) can be accessed with a standard web browser, such as Internet Explorer,
Mozilla or Opera.

Remote Management Configuration

In order to start the FastStor 1 Remote Management Interface, the FastStor 1
must obtain a valid IP address. By default, the FastStor 1 connects to a DHCP
server to dynamically configure its network interface. If a DHCP server is
available, the loader will get an IP address automatically after booting.
If no DHCP server is available, select Static mode and enter a legal IP-address,
netmask and default gateway with the buttons. In the browser's address field,
enter the IP address of your FastStor 1. See Remote Management setup for
details.

Quick Start Instructions

The following is intended to help you get a new FastStor 1 online as quickly as
possible. If you need to enable the RMI to perform a memory dump of a faulty
FastStor 1, please see Enabling the RMI Without Rebooting instead.
1. Connect the FastStor 1 to the network and reboot it.
2. From the front panel, check the dynamic IP address by accessing Menu
→View data → Remote man. info → Dyn IP Addr. state.
2.1. If the response is a valid IP address, the remote management interface
is ready and can be accessed at the URL http://IP-address/, e.g.
http://192.168.0.5/.
2.2. If the response is 0.0.0.0, enable remote management from the front
panel by setting Menu → Setup → Remote management → Access
control → Allow remote management to "Allowed." Check the network
cable and the DHCP server and reboot.

Enabling the RMI Without Rebooting

1. Connect the FastStor 1 to the network.
2. Configure network:
If you want to use a static IP address, use the front panel to enter a valid
static IP configuration, see Remote Management setup.
If you want to configure the network subsystem dynamically, from the
front panel set Menu → Setup → Remote management → Set IP
