Configuring Network Properties

Use the Network tab in the NAS Manager to configure the NAS system for the network. This section provides information for setting up your NAS system on the network, including naming the system, defining the IP address, and configuring the NIC.

Default System Name

The default system name is Dellxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is the system's service tag number. For example, if your service tag number is 1234567, enter http://DELL1234567.

You can also access the system directly through secure port 1279 by connecting to https://DELLxxxxxxx:1279 where xxxxxxx is the system's service tag number.

Naming the NAS System

By default, the NAS system uses your service tag number as the system name. To change the name of the NAS system, perform the following steps:

1.Log in to the NAS Manager.

2.Click Network.

3.Click Identification.

4.Type a new name for the NAS system in the Server name field.

5.If desired, in the DNS suffix field type in the domain information to append to the host name to create the fully qualified machine name.

6.Click Workgroup or Domain, depending on whether the system will be part of a workgroup or a domain.

7.If the system is part of a domain, type in the User and Password fields the information for the user who has permission to join the domain.

Include the domain name when you enter the user name (DOMAIN\USER):

8.Click OK.

9.Click OK to reboot, or click Cancel.

Until you reboot the system, the new name will not take effect. After rebooting the system, use the new name when you connect to the NAS Manager.

Configuring the Network Address for the NAS System

If you have a DHCP server on your network, you do not need to configure your NAS system's IP address because DHCP automatically assigns an address to the NAS system. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must set the address for the NAS system through the NAS Manager.

NOTE: To configure an IP address for another interface such as DNS, WINS, or AppleTalk, see your NAS Manager online help.
