Chapter 1: Introduction

Overview

Thank you for choosing the Thecus IP Storage Server. The Thecus IP storage is an easy-to-use storage server that allows a dedicated approach to storing and distributing data on a network. Data reliability is ensured with RAID features that provide data security and recovery—over multiple Terabyte of storage are available using RAID 5 and RAID 6. Gigabit Ethernet ports enhance network efficiency, allowing Thecus IP storage to take over file management functions, increase application and data sharing and provide faster data response. The Thecus IP storage offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you swap working hard drives for use in other Thecus IP storage, securing the continuity of data in the event of hardware failure. The Thecus IP storage allows data consolidation and sharing between Windows (SMB/CIFS), UNIX/Linux, and

Apple OS X environments. The Thecus IP storage’s user-friendly GUI supports multiple Languages.

Product Highlights

File Server

First and foremost, the Thecus IP storage allows you to store and share files over an IP network. With a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, you can centralize your files and share them easily over your network. With the easy-to-use webbased interface, users on your network can access these files in a snap.

FTP Server

With the built-in FTP Server, friends, clients, and customers can upload and download files to your Thecus IP storage over the Internet with their favorite FTP programs. You can create user accounts so that only authorized users have access.

iTunes Server

With the built-in iTunes server capability, the Thecus IP storage enables digital music to be shared and played anywhere on the network!

Printer Server

With the Thecus IP storage’s Printer Server, you can easily share an IPP printer with other PCs connected to your network.

Multiple RAID

Thecus IP storage supports multiple RAID volumes on one system. So, you can create RAID 0 for your non-critical data, and create RAID 1,5,6,50 or 60 (depend on model) for mission-critical data. Create the RAID levels depending on your needs.

iSCSI Capability

Thecus IP storage is not only a file server, but it also supports iSCSI initiators. Your server can access Thecus IP storage as a direct-attached-storage over the LAN or Internet. There is no easier way to expand the capacity of your current application servers. All the storage needs can be centrally managed and deployed. This brings ultimate flexibility to users.

Superior Power Management

7

Thecus IP storage supports schedule power on/off. With this feature, administrator can set at what time to turn on or off the system. This feature is a big plus for people who want to conserve energy. Wake-On-LAN enables administrator to remotely turn on the system without even leaving their own seat.

Chapter 3: First Time Setup

Overview

Once the hardware is installed, physically connected to your network, and powered on, you can configure the Thecus IP storage so that it is accessible to your network users. There are two ways to set up your Thecus IP storage: using the Thecus Setup Wizard or the LCD display (Depend on models). Follow the steps below for initial software setup.

Thecus Setup Wizard

The handy Thecus Setup Wizard makes configuring Thecus IP storage a snap. To configure the Thecus IP storage using the Setup Wizard, perform the following steps:

1.Insert the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive (the host PC must be connected to the network).

2.The Setup Wizard should launch automatically. If not, please browse your CD-ROM drive and double click on Setup.exe.

NOTE

For MAC OS X users, double click on Thecus Setup Wizard .dmg file.

3.The Setup Wizard will start and automatically detect all Thecus storage devices on your network. If none are found, please check your connection and refer to Chapter 7: Troubleshooting for assistance.

4.Select the Thecus IP storage that you like to configure.

5.Login with the administrator account and password. The default account and password are both “admin”.

16

6.Name your Thecus IP storage and configure the network IP address. If your switch or router is configured as a DHCP Server, configuring the Thecus IP storage to automatically obtain an IP address is recommended. You may also use a static IP address and enter the DNS Server address manually.

7. Change the default administrator password.

8.Finished! Access the Thecus IP storage Web Administrator Interface by pressing the Start Browser button. You can also configure another

17

Thecus IP storage at this point by clicking the Setup Other Device button. Press Exit to exit the wizard.

NOTE

The Thecus Setup Wizard is designed for installation on systems running Windows XP/2000/vista/7/8/10 or Mac OSX or later. Users with other operating systems will need to install the Thecus Setup Wizard on a host machine with one of these operating systems before using the unit.

Typical Setup Procedure

From the Web Administration Interface, you can begin to setup your Thecus IP storage for use on your network. Setting up the Thecus IP storage typically follows the five steps outlined below.

Step 1: Network Setup

From the Web Administration Interface, you can configure the network settings of the Thecus IP storage for your network. You can access the Network menu from the control panel.

Step 2: RAID Creation

Next, administrators can configure their preferred RAID setting and build their RAID volume. You can access RAID settings from the control panel of the Web Administration Interface by navigating to Storage Management > Disk and

RAID.

Step 3: Create Local Users or Setup Authentication

Once the RAID is ready, you can begin to create local users for Thecus IP storage, or choose to setup authentication protocols such as Active Directory (AD).

Step 4: Create Folders and Set Up ACLs

Once users are introduced into your network, you can begin to create various folders on the Thecus IP storage and control user access to each using Folder Access Control Lists.

Step 5: Start Services

Finally, you can start to setup the different services of Thecus IP storage for the users on your network.

18

Chapter 4: System Administration

Overview

The Thecus IP storage provides an easily accessible Web Administration Interface. With it, you can configure and monitor the Thecus IP storage anywhere on the network.

Web Administration Interface

Make sure your network is connected to the Internet. To access Thecus IP storage

Web Administration Interface:

1.Type the Thecus IP storage IP address into your browser. (Default IP address is http://192.168.1.100)

NOTE

Your computer’s network IP address must be on the same subnet as the

Thecus IP storage. If the Thecus IP storage has default IP address of 192.168.1.100, your managing PC IP address must be 192.168.1.x, where x is a number between 1 and 254, but not 100.

2.Login to the system using the administrator user name and password. The factory defaults are:

User Name: admin Password: admin

If you changed your password in the setup wizard, use the new password.

Once you are logged in as an administrator, the disclaimer page will appear as below. Please click the check box if you do not want to have this page displayed during the next login.

Power Schedule

Using the Thecus IP storage Power Management, you can save energy and money by scheduling the Thecus IP storage to turn itself on and off during certain times of the day.

To designate a schedule for the Thecus IP storage to turn on and off, first enable the feature by checking the Enable Power Schedule checkbox.

Then, click Add to add desired time for system power on or off.

Finally, click Apply to save your changes.

Example - Monday: On: 8:00; Off: 16:00

System will turn on at 8:00 AM on Monday, and off at 16:00 on Monday. System will turn on for the rest of the week.

If you choose an on time, but do not assign an off time, the system will turn on and remain on until a scheduled off time is reached, or if the unit is shutdown manually.

Example - Monday: On: 8:00

System will turn on at 8:00 AM on Monday, and will not shut down unless powered down manually.

You may also choose two on times or two off times on a particular day, and the system will act accordingly.
