Accessing the Web User Interface

Once you have completed the initial configuration of your storage system, you can access the Web User
Interface to add users, create shared folders, and perform other tasks related to managing your storage
system.
There are two ways to access the Web User Interface:
• Using a Web browser with JavaScript enabled (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.06
or newer)
• Using the Storage System Console (a Windows application that must be installed on each computer
where you want to use it)
Using a Web browser, you can access the Web User Interface from any computer in your network, but you
must know the name or IP address of the storage system. In addition, if you configured the storage system
to use a specific IP address, you might need to specify the IP address of the gateway in your network
before you can successfully access the Web User Interface using a Web browser. First access the Web
User Interface using the Storage System Console and then specify the gateway address (as described in
"Changing the Network Settings"
Using the Storage System Console, you can access the Web User Interface only from a computer in the
same subnet as the storage system, but you do not need to know the name or IP address of the storage
system or otherwise modify the network settings.
Note: The Storage System Console launches a Web browser, so the computer where you install the
Storage System Console must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.06 or
newer installed and set as the default browser with JavaScript enabled.
If Internet Explorer 7.0 or Firefox 2.0 indicate a certificate error, continue to the website.

Accessing the Web User Interface Using a Web browser

To access the Web User Interface using a Web browser:
1. From any computer in your network, run Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.06 or
newer, enter the following in the address bar, and then press Enter:
http://storage_system
where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system.
Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with a DNS server on
your network.
When the login page appears, you can bookmark it so that you can quickly and easily access it the
next time.
2. Log in to the Web User Interface (as described in
on page 72) and try to access it using a Web browser.
