Stage 2 - Assigning an IP Address
The StorPoint NAS supports HTTP over TCP/IP, which means that it works as a Web server
available on the Internet and intranets. To establish communication with the TCP/IP network,
you must first assign an appropriate IP address to your StorPoint NAS. For example, this is needed
in order to access the StorPoint NAS Web interface.
Note:
Set the IP address using one of these methods, depending on your network environment:
Note:
Important!
If you are using DHCP, RARP or BOOTP, the IP address will be set automatically. On Windows
NT networks, DHCP is the preferred method since it allows a number of parameters to be set
automatically, provided the DHCP server has been configured to do so.
For additional IP-related settings, refer to “Setting the TCP/IP Parameters” on page 13.
If you are not using IP addressing in your network environment, i.e. if you are using the
StorPoint NAS in Windows (SMB over NetBEUI) or NetWare (pure IPX), you do not need to
set the IP address. You can then proceed directly to “Accessing the Hard Disks” on page 24, or to
the description of the NetWare NDS installation on page 17.
Method Network environments See ...

Setup for Microsoft and IBM Networks (SMB)
Setting the Windows Parameters
In the Microsoft and IBM Network (SMB) environment, you do not need to specify any specific
settings before you can use the StorPoint NAS. However, you might for example want to change
the SMB server name, i.e. the name that will be presented to the Windows and OS/2 clients on the
network. The default SMB server name is AXIS<nnnnnn>, where <nnnnnn> are the last six digits
of the StorPoint NAS serial number. It would probably be useful to choose a more descriptive
name, e.g. in order to indicate where the unit is located.
The installation wizard available via the StorPoint NAS Web interface is a convenient way to set up
the StorPoint NAS. Follow these steps:
1. From within the Administration Web pages, click Network Settings.
2. Click Wizard . The Network Settings Wizard dialog appears.

6. Open the Windows (SMB) page and verify the settings.
7. Click OK.
Windows Shares
By default, the StorPoint NAS will share each individual hard disk. This means that a client can
map a drive letter, e.g. E:, to a specific hard disk drive.
Other default shares are root and volume. Root is for administrators to get access to configuration
files, and under volumes is where all attached hard disk drives can be found.

AXIS StorPoint NAS 100 User’s GuideSetup for Microsoft and IBM Networks (SMB) 15
It is also possible to define folders as shares on root level for each disk. This makes it possible for a
user to map directly to a specific folder on a hard disk.
Access Control
In order to protect the hard disks, files and folders that are shared by your StorPoint NAS, you can
set up specific access restrictions. In the Windows (SMB) environment, you select whether you
want to use share-level or user-level access control:
•Share-level access control will prompt the users to supply a password before they can access the
shared resource.
•User-level access control will grant specific users access to specific resources. This method also
allows the StorPoint NAS to be integrated with existing Windows NT or OS/2 domains.
Share-level Access Control
1. From within the Administration Web pages, click File Properties.
2. Locate the resource you want to protect in the file tree, and click Properties . The
Properties dialog box appears.
3. Open the Windows Sharing page.
4. Select the Share as radio button, and enter a share name
in the Share Name field.
5. Specify the type of access you want the users to have:
•Read-Only to enable users to open and copy
documents.
•Full to enable users to change, add or remove files.
•Depends on Password to allow different types of
access. Note that you must specify both password
fields, otherwise the users will not be prompted for
any password.
6. Click OK.

Setup for Microsoft and IBM Networks (SMB) AXIS StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Guide16
User-level Access Control
Defining Shares

3. Open the Windows Sharing page.
4. Select the Share as radio button, and enter a share name
in the Share Name field.
5. Enter a comment in the Comment field.
6. Click OK.
Managing Access Rights
Access rights are managed from the Windows NT Explorer.
• The access rights are additive which means that the
user's access rights are the summary of the rights
granted from individual assignments and group
memberships.
• Files and subfolders created within the selected
folder will automatically inherit the same access
rights.
1. In the Windows NT Explorer, select the resource for
which you want to define the user-level.
2. Select Properties from the File menu.
3. Select the Security tab, and click the Permissions
button.
Access rights works as in any other Windows NT 4 Server.
For more help on how to define user-level, see the Windows NT help.
To define shares and user-level access for OS/2, see the StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Manual.

AXIS StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Guide Setup for NetWare (NCP) 17
Setup for NetWare (NCP)
The StorPoint NAS emulates both a NetWare 3.x bindery server and a 4.x NDS server. It also
supports NetWare/IP.
NetWare Bindery Mode
If used as a bindery server, no specific installation is required prior to using and accessing your
StorPoint NAS. However, it is recommended that you specify the authentication server.
Installing the StorPoint NAS in NetWare NDS
When used as an NDS server, your StorPoint NAS must first be installed in the NDS tree:
• If you have TCP/IP on your network, the most convenient way to carry out the installation is to
use the NetWare wizard available via the StorPoint NAS Web interface.
• If you do not have TCP/IP, you must use a text editor and edit the configuration file manually.
Notes:
Synchronizing the NDS Tree
Before installing the StorPoint NAS in the NDS tree you need to verify that the NDS tree is
synchronized. To do that, load DSREPAIR on the server in the NDS tree and select Unattended
full repair.
Important!
• When installing the first StorPoint NAS into the NDS tree, it is recommended that you use
an account with Supervisor rights to the [Root] of the tree. This means that the user specified
in the NDS Admin Name parameter must have Supervisor access rights.
• The StorPoint NAS will extend the NDS Schema with a new attribute called
AXIS:SPcd:rights which will be added to the NDS Server object class. The extension is
needed for storing configuration data and has been approved by Novell.
• If you do not have Supervisor rights to [Root] or if schema extensions are not allowed in your
NDS tree, you can store the access rights in a file on a Novell file server. However, you must
specify the NDS Rights Storage and NDS Rights File parameters properly. You will need
Admin rights to the Organizational Unit (OU). After the NDS installation, you must also
create and assign access rights to the directory on the Novell file server where the file is stored.
If the NDS tree is not synchronized, do not continue the installation until you have solved the
problem.

Access Control
The way you manage security in NetWare depends on the mode you are using:
• Bindery mode without user authentication
• Bindery mode with user authentication
•NDSmode

procedures such as NWAdmin, SYSCON and Filer for handling security in NetWare. Refer to the
“AXIS StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Manual, Section 4 - NetWare” for more details.
Note:
You cannot use the StorPoint NAS Web interface for setting up the NetWare access rights.
