2.1.Using Windows Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop is provided to allow for additional remote system administration and installation of approved third-party applications. Backup software and antivirus programs are examples of approved applications.

To open a Remote Desktop session from a connecting machine using Windows XP:

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

Two open sessions of Remote Desktop are allowed to operate at the same time. After completing an application do not use the window close feature (X) to close that session of Remote Desktop. Click Start then Log Off Administrator to exit Remote Desktop.

2.1.1.Improper Closure of Remote Desktop

Certain operations can leave the utilities running if the browser is closed versus exiting from the program via the application menu or logging off the Remote Desktop session. A maximum of two Remote Desktop sessions may be used at any given time. Improper exit from a session can result in the sessions becoming consumed. Sessions and processes can be terminated using the Terminal Services Manager via Start > Programs > Administrator Tools.

Note

The Terminal Services Manager must be accessed via the direct attached method.

2.2.Telnet Server

Telnet Server is a utility that lets users connect to machines, log on, and obtain a command prompt remotely. Telnet Server is preinstalled on the storage server, but must be activated before use.

Notes

For security reasons, the Telnet Server is disabled by default. The service needs to be modified to enable access to the storage server with Telnet.
