Thecus Technology Thecus N199 user manual Remote Administration, RAID Auto-Rebuild

RAID Auto-Rebuild

When using RAID 1 on the N199, you can use the auto-rebuild function when an error is detected.

1.When a hard disk fails the system beeps and/or an email notification is sent to specified receivers.

2.Check the hard disk LEDs to see which disk has failed.

3.Follow the steps mentioned above to replace the failed hard disk.

4.The system automatically recognizes the new hard disk and starts the auto-rebuild sequence to resume its status before the hard disk crash.

Remote Administration

You can set up your N199 for remote administration. With remote administration, you can access your N199 over the Internet, even if your N199 is behind a router. This is especially useful if you are traveling and suddenly need a file from your N199.

Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the following equipment:

•Thecus N199 NAS device

•Cable/DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support

•Home PC

•Internet Connection

NOTE

Router setup will differ slightly depending on router used. For this example, we will use the Asus WL500g because it has support for Dynamic DNS. Contact your router hardware vendor for setup help.
