Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview
Thank you for choosing the ALLNET ALL69000 IP Storage Server. The ALLNET ALL69000 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 ten Terabyte of storage is available using RAID 5 and RAID 6. Gigabit
Ethernet ports enhance network efficiency, allowing the ALL69000 to take over file
management functions, increase application and data sharing and provide faster data
response. The ALL69000 offers data mobility with a disk roaming feature that lets you hot
swap working hard drives for use in another ALL69000, securing the continuity of data in the
event of hardware failure. The ALL69000 allows data consolidation and sharing between
Windows (SMB/CIFS), UNIX/Linux, and Apple OS X environments. The ALL69000’s
user-friendly GUI supports multiple languages.
Product Highlights
File Server
First and foremost, the ALL69000 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 web-based interface, users on your network can
access these files in a snap.
To learn about the Web User Interface, go to
Chapter 5: Using the ALL69000 > Using WebDisk.
FTP Server
With the built-in FTP Server, friends, clients, and customers can upload and download files to
your ALL69000 over the Internet with their favorite FTP programs. You can create user
accounts so that only authorized users have access.
To set up the FTP Server, refer to
Chapter 4: System Network> FTP .
iTunes Server
With the built-in iTunes server capability, the ALL69000 enables digital music to be shared and
played anywhere on the network!
To set up the iTunes Server, refer to
Chapter 4: Application Server>iTunes Configuration.
Media Server
With the built-in Media Server capability, the ALL69000 provides media streaming service to
stand-alone networked home media adapters that support the UPnP AV protocol or are Digital
Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard compliant.
To set up the Media Server, refer to
Chapter 4: System Network >Media Server.

10
Backup Server
Don’t leave precious data to chance. With advanced backup capabilities, you can easily
upload mission critical files to the ALL69000, and even automate your backup tasks for true
peace-of-mind.
To find out how to backup your files with the ALL69000, refer to
Chapter 4: Backup >Nsync.
Printer Server
With the ALL69000’s Printer Server, you can easily share an IPP printer with other PCs
connected to your network.
To set up the Printer Server, refer to
Chapter 4: Application Server>Printer Information.
Multiple RAID
ALL69000 supports multiple RAID volumes on one system. So, you can create RAID 0 for your
non-critical data, and create RAID 5 for mission-critical data. Create the RAID levels
depending on your needs.
To configure RAID modes on the ALL69000, refer to
Chapter 4: Storage Management >RAID Information.
Dual Mode Support
ALL69000 is not only a file server, but it also supports iSCSI initiators. Your server can access
ALL69000 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.
To set up an iSCSI volume, refer to
Chapter 4: Storage Management > Space Allocation > Allocating Space for iSCSI
Volume.
Superior Power Management
ALL69000 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.
To schedule system on and off, refer to
Chapter 4: System Management> Scheduled Power On/Off
