Configuring Your System Using the Kick-Start Utility

The Kick-Start utility is software shipped with your system. This utility is used to define the initial network configuration of a system, which makes the system available on the network for complete configuration using the NAS Manager. This utility is intended for customers who have one or more systems to configure but do not want to use the default DHCP assigned address and system name.

A NAS appliance requires configuration information before it can function on the web. You can specify this information locally using the Kick-Start utility installed on the NAS appliance.

You can also supply configuration information using the Remote Kick-Start utility (a browser-based Java applet) to save the configuration information on a diskette or send it to one or more systems across an IP network from another system on the same IP subnet.

NOTE: The system you use to create configuration files must be running Windows 2000 and

have one of the following browsers installed: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher or Netscape 6.0 or higher. If you use a Netscape browser, you must install the Java plug-in, which is available at http://java.sun.com/.

NOTE: The Remote Kick-Start utility provides an integrated DHCP service that can supply a temporary IP address to discovered NAS appliances that you add to your network before configuring them. If your network already provides DHCP services, the Remote Kick-Start utility detects this and does not turn on the integrated DHCP service.
