2.Set host name and specify the domain name.

3.Enable DHCP for setting the IP automatically or Disable DHCP to enter your own IP settings.

4.Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the LAN item under the Network menu to configure the LAN port.

5.In the Network menu, choose the Service item and the Service Support screen appears.

6.Enable or Disable each protocol according to your requirements. Press Apply to confirm the setting.

NOTE

For normal usage, enabling all protocols is recommended.

For added security, disable WebDisk support and enable Secure WebDisk support.

If DHCP is enabled in the Network Settings screen, UPnP is automatically enabled.

For details on configuring your network settings, refer to Chapter 3: System Management > Network Management.

Step 4: Select RAID Level

Once the network is configured, you should then select the appropriate RAID level and build your RAID array.

1.From the Storage menu choose RAID item and the RAID Information screen appears. Press the Config button and the RAID Configuration screen appears.

2.Select your desired RAID mode.

NOTE

If security is your primary concern, for 2 disks, choose RAID 1. If capacity is your primary concern, choose JBOD or RAID 0. See Appendix C for more information.

3.Check the hard disks you wish to create a RAID on. Specify a stripe size— 64K is a normal setting.

4.Press the Create button to build the RAID storage volume. Configuring RAID is usually only required for initial setup.

NOTE

Building a RAID storage space may take time, depending on the size of hard drives and RAID mode.

Step 5: Create Local Users and Groups

After your RAID is built, you can begin to create local users and groups for the N299.

1.From the Accounts menu, choose Users item and the Local User Configuration screen appears. Click Add to add a new user.

2.Enter a name and password for each user in the Name and Password boxes and re-enter the password in the Confirm Password box.
