•Step 9 – Add any Locally Defined Users and Groups: You can create and maintain a list of users and groups from the NSS.
•Step 10 – Create Shares: After you create a volume, you can create the shares and set up access privileges to those shares for the users and groups. You can also define the DFS access.
•Step 11 – Create the Volume Snapshots: If you have an NSS6000 series unit, you can configure snapshots for each volume.
•Step 12 – Set up the Share Backups: Set up a backup to run at a regular interval for the configured shares.
•Step 13 – Complete the Configuration: Go through the rest of the configuration options to set up quotas, edit groups, set up email and SNMP alerts, and so on. For detailed information, refer to the Online Help from the Configuration Manager, or the Linksys Business Series Network Storage System Administrator Guide available from the Linksys website (www.linksys.com).
•Step 14 – Save a Copy of the Configuration: After you configure the NSS, save a copy of the configuration to a location on the NSS and to a USB key.
Step 1: Access the NSS when there is no DHCP Server Present on your Network
This step depends on whether there is a DHCP server on the network to which you are connecting the NSS (this could be the router). The NSS ships with a default configuration such that its network interfaces are DHCP configured. For your computer to communicate with the NSS when no DHCP server is present, you must manually configure the computer’s network settings.
NOTE: The configuration for your computer is only temporary. After you initially open the configuration interface, you can configure the static IP address for the NSS accordingly and then restore your computer’s network settings to their previous values. For help setting the IP configuration on the NSS, refer to the online help available with the NSS configuration interface.
