Illustration 11: Username/Password Entry
3.1 Quick Setup
This section provides a set of steps to quickly configure the NetSwap/RAIDFrame Plus and get it
connected to your network. A complete reference for the administration interface is provided below.
1.
Change the Admin Password
Click the 'Admin' option under 'Settings' on the administration menu. Enter a new password
and matching confirmation password and click the 'Save' button.
2.
Set Network Settings
You will want to adjust the NetSwap/RAIDFrame Plus to match your network IP numbering
scheme. Click the 'Network' option under 'Settings' on the administration menu. We
recommend STATIC IP mode rather than DHCP since this device will be accessed by the
backup software at a fixed location. Make sure to choose an address outside your DHCP scope
(or make a reservation). Enter the desired values for IP address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS
and click the 'Save' button. After changing the network settings you may need to reconfigure
your configuring machine's network adapter back to it's previous IP to both work with the rest
of the network and to reconnect to the NetSwap/RAIDFrame Plus on the new number scheme.
3.
Prepare Hard Disks
Prepare each removable disk (and the internal disk on equipped NetSwap Plus models) and
share the disks as detailed in the 'Disk Preparation' section below.
4.
Connect to the NetSwap/RAIDFrame Plus
iSCSI
– Connect using the iSCSI Initiator using the IP Address, Target Name, and CHAP
authentication as set using the 'iSCSI' menu option (the default is no CHAP authentication).
See the detailed walk through in a later chapter for more detail. You should install the High-
Rely iSCSI Connector software described below to allow safe removal of the hard drive when
swapping.
When using iSCSI we recommend turning off off default indexing service. Right click the
drive in Explorer and select properties. Uncheck “Allow files on this drive to have contents
indexed in addition to file properties.”
