REmote access4

Once configured, your HP Data Vault has a unique Web address, enabling the server administrator to give anyone a username and password to remotely access the HP Data Vault through the Web. Authorized users can access files on the HP Data Vault when they are away from the office. It is even possible to manage the HP Data Vault remotely.6

HOW TO

Enable remote access

•Open the Windows Home Server® Console. From a PC, double-click the HP Data Vault desktop shortcut and select the Windows Home Server® Console icon, or double-click the Windows Home Server® system tray icon, and log on. From a Mac, click on the HP Data Vault icon located in the Menu Bar and click “Launch Home Server Console.”

•Click Settings in the upper right corner of the Home Server Console.

•Click Remote Access in the left menu.

•Click to Turn On remote access. The Remote Access wizard will attempt to configure your router. If you

encounter problems, see “Configuring your

Remote Access configuration menu

broadband router” in the Windows Home Server®

 

Console help section.

 

•A wizard will prompt you to select a Domain Name Provider and create a domain name (which will be your Web address). This will be your website for accessing your HP Data Vault server from the Internet. For example, if you registered MyBusiness.hpshare.net for your HP Data Vault, you would type that address into your Internet browser address bar to connect to your server. Additionally, this address is part of the URL (Web address) for accessing a photo album on the HP Photo Viewer.
