1.6.User Interfaces

There are several user interfaces that administrators can use to access and manage the Viking Series NAS appliance. Two of these interfaces are:

•Using direct attached method

•Using Windows Remote Desktop

Each interface contains the same or similar capabilities, but presents them in a different manner. Each of these interfaces are illustrated in the following sections.

1.6.1Direct Attached Method

The Viking Series NAS appliance can be accessed directly be connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

The default user name is “Administrator”. The default password is “1234”.

1.6.2.Using Windows Remote Desktop Console

The NAS appliance desktop console can be accessed remotely using Windows Remote Desktop. This requires the use of the Windows Remote Desktop client on the machine it is accessing from.

Remote Desktop provides the ability for you to log onto and remotely administer your server, giving you a method of managing it from any client. Installed for remote administration, Remote Desktop allows only two concurrent sessions. Leaving a session running takes up one license and can affect other users. If two sessions are running, additional users will be denied access.

To connect the storage server to a network using the Remote Desktop method:

•On the PC client, select Start > Run. At Open, type mstsc, then click OK.

•Type the IP address of the NAS appliance you will be connecting to in the Computer box and click Connect.

•Use the default user name “Administrator” and default password “1234” to gain system access.

Notes

When using Remote Desktop to connect to the NAS appliance desktop do not use the window close feature (X). Click on Start/Log Off Administrator to exit Remote Desktop. See “Improper Closure of Remote Desktop” in Chapter 2.
