1.2 Benefits and Key Features
Virtual Private Network
With Virtual Private Networking, an enterprise can establish a dedicated
tunnel among branch offices and/or mobile employees. All data is encrypted
and decrypted via the pre-defined dedicated tunnel. This prevents any
hackers from stealing private information in the public network. With this
functionality, any sub-network can be grouped as though they are in the same
network.
4
Firewall
The Server Appliance provides a powerful firewall capable of preventing
hackers from attacking the gateway or internal network. Many famous DoS
attacks can be detected and prevented. Whenever an attack is detected, the
system will alert the network manager that an attack has occurred. The
network manager can then inspect the log information to find the IP address
that sent the packets.
Easy Installation
In order to facilitate the use of the Server Appliance, the product comes with
default settings that most network managers can install it without any
modification. If the network manager needs to modify any of the settings, the
Server Appliance provides an intuitive Web-based user interface.
Network Attached Storage
Network-attached storage (NAS) is the concept of shared storage on a
network. NAS transfers data using industry standard file sharing protocols
such as CIFS, AFP, NFS and FTP. Files can be shared simultaneously by
clients regardless of the operating system they are using or the network
server they are attached to. This solution provides convenient common
storage resources.
Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS allows anyone wishing to reach your host by the name only.
Dynamic DNS will map that name to your current IP address, which changes
each time you dial your Internet service provider. With a URL that stays the
same all the time regardless of IP address your options become almost as
unlimited as a normal content provider like www.indiatimes.com or
www.yahoo.com.
Print Server (Some Models Only)
Print Server allows any computer in the network to share an USB printer. It
complies with USB 2.0 specifications. And the users can print from any
computer over a LAN.
5
Personal Web Server (Some Models Only)
The Personal Web Server enables users to host an information type website
from their appliance. Create your website and place it on the appliance for the
world to see. Use it in combination with our built-in DDNS client and anyone
with a broadband connection can have their very own website.
Personal POP E-mail Server (Some Models Only)
The Personal POP E-mail Server provides users the ability to run a personal
private e-mail server. Send e-mail you’re your registered domain name or just
create a DDNS account and have your personalized e-mail address.
FTP Server
FTP is the most secure, fastest, reliable method of transferring files. The FTP
server allows you full control over who can login to the server appliance,
which files the user can access or they could upload data.
Power Management
We divide the power management function into three parts. These are Power
Down, Wake On LAN and Hard Disk Standby.
We’ll describe each part in detail below.
- Power Down
We turn the power down in several ways:
Power Down by Web
Please select System Management -> Administrator Settings. In
Power Down field, to select the enable radio button and then click
the apply button.
Power Down by press the power button
Prompt Power Down
Please press and hold the power button at least 4 seconds.
-Wake On LAN
The WOL function allows the remote users on the network to turn on the
Server Appliance. Please note that the power adapter must be connected to
6
the Server Appliance and plugged into the power outlet.
-Hard Disk Standby
If the hard disk is idle for a while, we would like the hard disk to enter standby
mode to reduce the consumption of power. In the left menu, select NAS
Management -> HD Initialization Wizard, in HD Power Management Setting,
please select the time in the ‘Turn Off hard disk’ field (Figure 3.2a). If you
select ‘none’, the hard disk will not enter the standby mode even if it is always
idle. If you select ’5 mins’, the hard disk will enter standby mode once it is idle
for more than five minutes.

Figure 2.4b
Internal Network Interface
The default settings are:
Host Name: “SA”
Private IP: “172.16.1.1”
Private IP Netmask: “255.255.0.0”
According to the default settings, we will assign the LAN to network
“172.16.1.x” You can add more detailed configurations later in section 4.1
DHCP Server settings.
For the Network Address Translation (NAT) application, the private network
address should be set in the following address range reserved by the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
Class Address Range
A Class 10.0.0.0/10.255.255.255
B Class 172.16.0.0/172.31.255.255
C Class 192.168.0.0/192.168.255.255
16
Domain Name Server
Most of the time this information is not needed, as your ISP will
automatically provide the information.
Please ask the DNS IP address from your ISP if one is required.
External Network Interface
External network interface includes ADSL/PPPoE , DHCP Client and Fixed
IP Address settings. Make sure that the system information webpage shows
that your Link status is ‘Link Up’. If not, please check your connection and/or
switch the MDX switch located next to your WAN port. We have to choose
one of the three ways to configure the external network interface. They are
illustrated as follows:
Example 1: If you are connecting through a fixed IP address from the ISP.
Example 2: If you are connecting through a dynamic IP address from ISP.
Example 3: If you usually enter a username and password to access the
Internet.
Example 1: Fixed IP Address Settings
17
If you have a fixed IP address from your ISP to access the Internet, please
follow the steps below:
1. Select the Fixed IP Address radio button.
2. Enter the Public IP address.
3. Enter the External Gateway.
4. Enter the External Netmask.
5. Click the apply button.
Example 2: DHCP Client / Cable Modem
If you have a dynamic IP address from your ISP to access the Internet,
please select the DHCP Client radio button. Once the external IP address is
obtained via the DHCP protocol, there is no need to give an external IP
address, external gateway address or netmask. The DHCP server will
dynamically assign these fields. In general, you should choose this option if
you are connecting the Server Appliance to a cable modem. Note: Cable
modem users MUST disconnect the cable modem from the wall outlet for at
least 2 minutes before turning it on again. Some cable modem connections
need you to provide specific hardware address. For the case, you should fill
18
your hardware address that you get from your ISP provider in Hardware
Address field to override the original hardware address. However, it does not
update the original hardware address stored in EEPROM. If you would not
like to override the hardware address, you should set each field of the
Hardware Address to zero “00”.
Example 3: ADSL Connection
Most ADSL connections do not give you a fixed IP address. In this case, you
must enter the user name and password provided by your ISP for
authentication. Please follow the steps below.
1. Please select the ADSL/PPPoE radio button.
2. In ADSL/PPPoE Setting: Enter the User Name and Password.
3. Click the apply button to save your settings.
After completing your configuration, each time the SA boots, it will try to
19
connect with your ISP and the ISP will assign the Server Appliance an
external IP address. Once successfully connected, the Status field should
reflect this. If the Status is still the same, check to make sure that the
username, password, cables, etc. are all correct.
Example 4: ADSL/PPTP Client Setting
If your ISP provides a PPTP server, you could set up the PPTP client here.
Please follow the steps:
1. Select ADSL/PPTP radio button.
2. Enter the user name. (You get this from your ISP)
3. Enter the password. (You get this from your ISP)
4. Enter the IP address of your host in My IP Address.
5. Enter the IP address of the server in Server IP Address.
In the following chapters, we will cover more details of configuring the SA.
20
3 Configuration Hierarchy
This chapter gives you an overview of all the configuration options available.
The Server Appliance is a multifunction product. The section3.1 explains the
corresponding settings for each function. And in section3.2, we describe the
power management in detail.
There are eight main categories in configuration menu, Basic settings,
Network settings, Firewall settings, VPN settings, System management,
System reports, User management and NAS management. Each item
has advanced configurations. See Figure 3.1..
21
3.1 Overview of Configuration Menu
Figure 3.1
22
4 Network Settings
When you select Network Settings in the left menu of the web page, five
configuration options appear: DHCP Server, IP Alias, Multiple NAT, Route
Settings and DDNS. Please refer to the corresponding section for these
configurations.
4.1 DHCP Server
In DHCP Server settings, we assign the rage of the virtual IP addresses for
the four LAN ports of SA. All devices connect to the LAN ports of SA will be
dynamically assigned the IP addresses within the range. If you wish to mix
dynamic and static IP clients on your network:
23
Under DHCP server settings, the SA defaults to assigning IPs 172.16.1.2
through 172.16.1.250...So depending on how many fixed IP devices they
have, they can assign their device to an IP of 172.16.1.251 (through 254) as
these IPs will not be handed out by the SA. If they have more devices or want
a different IP range, then all they need to do is modify the range that the SA
hands out so it does not hand out an IP in that range. Typical offices set their
DHCP server to assign IPs from 30 through 200. IPs 1 through 29 are usually
assigned to servers and 201 and above are reserved for special uses.
You can either enable the DHCP server or disable it in this screen also.
To Enable the DHCP Server
If you do not have a DHCP server on your network,
1. Select the Enable radio button.(already enabled by default).
2. Enter a number in Lease time field.
3. Enter the IP address range1 as “192.168.0.2” and “192.168.0.250”
(default).
4. Enter the IP address range2, otherwise enter “0” in each field.
5. Enter the IP address range3, otherwise enter “0” in each field.
6. Enter the IP address range4, otherwise enter “0” in each field.
7. Click the apply button.
When DHCP server is enabled, it will allow DHCP clients to obtain their
network configuration from the unit. In the figure above, the IP address range
of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.250 is dynamically assigned to individual DHCP
clients. The DHCP client may be assigned an IP address like “192.168.0.10”.
The IP address “192.168.0.1” cannot be assigned as it is not in the range and
is also assigned to SA under Basic Settings. If you assign another network
(e.g. 192.168.1.x) to IP address ranges 2, 3, 4, please refer to section 4.2 for
further IP Alias setting. When no other IP address ranges are assigned, a
zero value should be filled in to indicate that no other IP addresses are
available for assignment.
