At the furthest bottom is the status bar with the date button which doubles its duty as a clock and a link to the Clock page. The status LEDs to the right gives a quick glimpse of the system device status. The statuses represent: Not present – No disk or device attached. Normal – Device in normal operating mode. If the LED is blinking, this disk is currently re-syncing. During the re-sync process, the performance is temporarily in a “degraded” mode and another disk failure in t

Network Ethernet The Ethernet tab allows you to specify network interface-specific settings. In the Standard Setting box, you can specify the IP address, network mask, speed/duplex mode, and MTU settings. In most networks where a DHCP server is enabled, you can simply specify the “Use values from a DHCP server” option to automatically set the IP address and network mask. If you assign a static IP address, be aware that the browser will lose connection to the ioSafe R4 device after th

Note If you elect to assign the IP address using DHCP, it is advisable to set the lease time on the DHCP server/router to a value of at least a day. Otherwise, you may notice that the ioSafe R4 IP address may change even when it has been powered down for only a few minutes. Most DHCP servers allow you to assign a static IP address for specified MAC addresses. If you have this option, this would be a good way to ensure your ioSafe R4 maintains the same IP address even in DHCP mode. ► S

Warning Do not enable VLAN support unless you are sure your clients also support VLAN. Otherwise, you can lose network access to the ioSafe R4 and you may need to perform a firmware re-installation to disable the VLAN setting. ► PERFORMANCE SETTING The Enable jumbo frames option allows you to optimize the ioSafe R4 for large data transfers such as multiple streams of video playback. Select this option if your NIC and your gigabit switch support jumbo frames. Note The ioSafe R4 suppo

Global Network Settings ► HOSTNAME The Hostname you specify is used to advertise the ioSafe R4 on your network. You can use the hostname to address the ioSafe R4 in place of the IP address when accessing the ioSafe R4 from Windows, or over OS X using SMB. This is also the name that will appear in the RAIDar scan list. The default hostname is nas- followed by the last three bytes of your primary MAC address. ► DEFAULT GATEWAY The Default Gateway specifies the IP address of the system

If you had selected the DHCP option in the Ethernet tab, the domain name server fields will be automatically populated with the DNS settings from your DHCP server. If you had selected the Static option, you can manually specify the IP addresses of the DNS servers and the domain name here. WINS The WINS option allows you to specify the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) server. A WINS server is typically a Windows server on the network that will allow the ioSafe R4 o

DHCP The DHCP tab allows this device to act as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. DHCP service simplifies management of a network by dynamically assigning IP addresses to new clients on the network. Click on the Enable DHCP service checkbox if you want the ioSafe R4 device to act as a DHCP server. This is convenient in networks where DHCP service is not already available. Note These options are available only if this device is not already using a DHCP address. Ena

Route The Route tab is available if you have two or more network interfaces (Ethernet or Wireless combined) on your ioSafe R4. In some environments, you can optimize your network traffic by manually setting up a routing table. Route table management is beyond the scope of this manual, and this option is provided only for advanced users who understand routing and wish to deviate from the default routes.
