Mac Users: Shares on the ix2 will mount and appear on the Mac Desktop.

PC Users: Shares on the ix2 will automatically be assigned a drive letter and will be available in the Network Drives section under My Computer.

Network Settings

The Network page of your ix2 is where you make changes to set up network connectivity. The Network page displays your current network settings and enables those settings to be modified. On this page, you can identify your DNS servers and WINS servers and how your system's IP address is determined. Most system IP addresses and other network settings can normally be configured automatically.

Manually Configuring Your Network

If you are comfortable with network technology and want to configure the network, refer to Manually

Configuring Network Settings.

Enabling Jumbo Frames for Each NIC

You can enable jumbo frames for each NIC in your ix2 by expanding the Information section for a NIC and entering a jumbo frame size in the Jumbo Frame field. If you do not want jumbo frame support, leave the field blank. Jumbo frame support is useful for transferring large files, such as multimedia files, over a network. Jumbo frame support increases transfer speed by placing large files in fewer data packets. It also reduces the demand on the device hardware by having the CPU process more data in fewer data packets.

Connecting

the ix2

Setting up Your ix2 Network Storage

Jumbo frame support should only be enabled if you are sure your network is jumbo-frame compatible and all network devices have been configured to support jumbo frames. It is recommended that you confirm all network interface cards (NICs) are configured to support jumbo frames before enabling this feature.

Manually Configuring Network Settings

There are various settings in the network setup that you can manually configure.

1. Click Modify network settings.

2. Uncheck Automatically configure DNS, WINS, and all IP addresses (DHCP).

3. DNS Servers — enter the IP addresses of the DNS (Domain Name System) servers. DNS is used for translating the domain name to IP addresses.

4. WINS Servers — enter the IP addresses of the WINS server.

5. To connect your ix2 to a proxy server, check Use proxy settings and enter proxy IP address, port number, and the proxy username and password.

6. Click Apply to save your settings.

7. If a DHCP server is unavailable for a network interface card (NIC), the device could auto-assign an IP address, or you can uncheck the Automatically acquire network address (DHCP) checkbox found in the Information section of a NIC.

8. You can change the following settings in the Information section:

● IP Address — the static IP address of the ix2. Use an available IP address in the range used

by the LAN.

● Subnet Mask — the subnet that the IP address belongs to. The default value is 255.255.255.0.

● Preferred Server — the actual name or IP address of your Active Directory Server, for

example, ad-server.sohoad.com or 10.14.50.12.

● Netbios Name — An optional value that is automatically set to the first part of the Domain

Name. For example, if you Domain Name is testdomain.emc.com, the Netbios Name is testdomain. You can edit this name or leave it blank.

● Organizational Unit — an optional predefined subset of directory objects within an Active

Directory domain.

● Administrator Username — the Active Directory username with domain administrator

privilege.

● Administrator Password — the Active Directory password for the specified Active Directory

username.

● Users/Groups Refresh Interval — how often the ix2 should refresh the list of available users

and groups from the Active Directory server.

● Local Network Encryption (SSL) — enforces encryption on your local network.

● Remote Network Encryption (SSL) — enforces encryption outside your local network, such

as through the internet. Choices for both encryption types are Not required and Always (encryption is always enforced). Always encrypting communication is safest, but can impact performance.

● Enable trusted domains — enables your ix2 to allow access to other domains.

4. Click Apply to save your settings.
