VR-N100U USERS MANUAL

10/100

The Network Speed LED will be either solid amber, or solid green. Amber indicates the LAN1 camera backchannel network speed is 10 Mbps. Green indicates the LAN1 camera backchannel network speed is 100 Mbps. When the LED is red, there is no network link visible to the server on LAN1.

NOTE: Only LAN1’s 10/100 LED is available because the LCD Module was originally designed with the previous generation server board which utilized only a single network connection.

Drive

The Drive Activity LED lights up whenever data is moving to or from an IDE device or SCSI device. A flashing green light indicates an attached IDE drive is reading or writing data. A flashing red light indicates a SCSI device is reading or writing data. A flashing amber light indicates both IDE and SCSI devices are active. The Drive Activity LED does not differentiate between reading and writing data.

If you want to change the IP address of your system, follow the steps below.

1.Depress the Enter key. The LCD Panel will display the message Network Setup

2.Depress the Enter key. The Panel displays the IP address entry screen. The cursor will be positioned at the location of the first digit in the first set of numbers. Use the Up and Down arrow keys (Up increments the number, Down decrements it) to locate the first number in the IP address. When the correct number is displayed in the first position, depress the Enter key. The cursor advances to the next position in the IP address. Continue to use the Up and Down arrow keys to locate the numbers in the IP address, depressing the Enter key to accept each number. Use the Back key to move the cursor one position to the left. Don’t forget, if the address you were given has only one or two digits in any of the number sets of the address, use leading zeroes to pad the number set to three digits. For example, if the IP address you were given is 195.182.30.4, enter195.182.030.004 in the address fields. When you have finished and have verified that you entered the correct IP address, depress the Enter key.

4.The Default Gateway address entry screen displays. Enter the address and depress the Enter key. The next screen inquires if you want to enable the Static IP address and the other addresses you just entered. If you select the Y, the addresses will be saved and the Static IP options in the TCP/IP Configuration tool in the Network Configurations Tool Set will be selected. If you select the N, the option to obtain the IP address dynamically in that same tool will be selected. Use the arrow keys to toggle between the Y and N. Depress the Enter key to accept your selection.

5.The next screen that displays asks if you want to reboot the system to apply the addresses you entered. Select the Y if you are ready to reboot now. Select the N if you plan to change the default Server Name. Make your selection and depress the Enter key. If you select the Y, the VR-N100U will reboot. The LCD Panel will keep you informed about what is happening. If you select the N, you will go back to the Network Setup screen.

6.5.5. Renaming Your System

If you want to rename your system, depress the Down key.

1.The Set Server Name– screen displays. Depress the Enter key. The Edit ServerName screen displays. The Server Name you enter here can contain up to 24 alphanumeric characters and the dash ( - ). Use the Up and Down arrow keys to cycle through the numbers, letters and the dash to spell out the new name of your VR-N100U. The valid characters are arranged in this order: the dash, the numbers 0 through 9, the Capital letters A through Z, and the lowercase letters a through z. Remember, the Up key goes forward through the characters and the Down key goes backward. Depress the Enter key to accept the current character and advance the cursor. Depress the Enter key repeatedly until the Update? Screen displays.

2.If you select the N, you will be returned to the Set Server Name screen and the new Server Name will not be saved. If you select the Y, the new Server Name is saved. It will go into effect when the system is rebooted. Depress the Enter key. The Reboot screen displays.
