standard 51/4"tower.
The StorPoint NAS
supports mirroring which
means that any data
written to a hard disk is
automatically and
simultaneously written to
a second hard disk.
The StorPoint NAS is
server independent,
which means that no
software has to be loaded
on any server, and no
additional software has to be installed on any client.
The maximum number of hard disks that can be used with a single unit
is 15.
Note: ❏Throughout this manual, the AXIS StorPoint NAS 100 is referred
to as simply StorPoint NAS.

Section 1: Introduction StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Manual

Features and Benefits
File Server
Independence
The StorPoint NAS is connected as a node in a 10 or 100 Mbit
Ethernet network. To the network the StorPoint NAS acts as a file
server. This means that it is independent of other file servers, i.e. the
communication takes place directly between the network client and the
StorPoint NAS. This results in high performance, reliability and
independence of other equipment.
Plug and Play The file server independent approach makes the installation quick and
convenient. In most environments the physical connection to the
network is the only installation required prior to starting work with the
StorPoint NAS. No software needs to be installed on clients or file
servers. Your computer will see the StorPoint NAS as another network
file server, and you access it using the standard commands used in your
network operating system.
Environments The StorPoint NAS can be used simultaneously from NetWare,
Windows, OS/2, DOS, UNIX and Internet/intranet clients. It supports
basic messaging and network protocols:
•NCP over IPX and IP
•SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI
•SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP
•NFS over UDP/IP
•HTTP over TCP/IP.

StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Manual Section 1: Introduction 9
Internet/intranet
Web Server
The built-in Web server makes it possible to access data via any standard
Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet
Explorer. The support includes configuration, management and disc
access.
Speed By using a 32-bit RISC processor and cache memory expandable up to
160 Mbytes, data throughput of up to 1000 kB/sec on a single client.
Security Disk access can be restricted by setting up native access control in all
network environments.
Maintenance New software can easily be downloaded to the StorPoint NAS’s Flash
memory over the network using FTP or drag-and-drop in the Windows
Explorer. All updates are free of charge.
Network
Management
The StorPoint NAS supports the Simple Network Management
Protocol, SNMP.
Year 2000 The StorPoint NAS is year 2000 compliant.
Mirroring (RAID 1) The StorPoint NAS has a built-in RAID 1 option. When enabled, any
data written to a hard disk is automatically and simultaneously written
to a second hard disk. The purpose of this is to assure that if one hard
disk should fail, the data is still intact on the other one.

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 assign an
appropriate IP address to your StorPoint NAS. For example, this is
needed in order to access the StorPoint NAS Web interface.
Note: ❏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 the description of the
NetWare NDS installation “Installation as an NDS Server ”on page
36.
Before you begin Make sure the StorPoint NAS is powered up and attached to the
network.
IP Address Unless you are using DHCP, you must acquire an unused IP address
from the Network Administrator.
System Privileges You will require root privileges on your UNIX system and administrator
privileges on the Windows NT servers.
Ethernet Address Depending on the method you are using, you will need to know the
Ethernet address of your StorPoint NAS. The Ethernet address is based
upon the serial number found on the labels at the underside of the unit
and at the back of the tower.
Important! ❏Do not use the default or example IP address when installing your
StorPoint NAS. Always consult the Network Administrator before
assigning an IP address.

Section 2: Basic Installation StorPoint NAS 100 User’s Manual

Start a DOS window and type the following command:
Syntax Windows 95
Example Windows 95
Syntax Windows 98 and Windows NT
Example Windows 98 and Windows NT:
The host will return ‘Reply from 192.16.253.80 ...’or some
similar message. This indicates that the address has been set and the
communication is established.
Notes: ❏Once the StorPoint NAS has established communication using an
appropriate IP address, the arp command cannot be used to change
the address. This is to avoid accidental or unauthorized changes.
However, if you restart the StorPoint NAS, you can change the IP
address within one hour.
❏Please note that when you execute the ping command for the first
time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than
usual.

❏The arp -s command may vary from system to system. Some
BSD-type systems expect the IP address and Ethernet address in
reverse order, whereas IBM AIX systems require the additional
argument ether. For example:
DHCP in Windows
NT and UNIX
Follow these steps to use the DHCP method:
1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP
daemon. For Windows NT servers, refer to the “Windows NT
Resource Kit”on how to do this.
The entries made in this scope typically include the following
parameters:
•Range of IP addresses
•Subnet mask
•Default router IP address
•Lease duration
•Mail server IP address
•DNS server IP address
•WINS server IP address(es)
•Domain name
•NTP server IP address
2. Activate the scope.
DHCP is enabled by default. The IP address and all the other settings
will be downloaded automatically.
Note: ❏To fully benefit from DHCP, it is recommended that you use the
WINS name resolution protocol available in Windows NT. If you
intend to use WINS, at least one WINS server IP address must be
included in the scope. Once the IP address is received, the
StorPoint NAS will register its host name and IP address on the
WINS server.
