2Default System Configuration
The default network configurations of the server are as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.0.10
Http Port: 8000
To avoid IP conflicts, it is recommended to configure one disk at a time as these storage
servers have the same default network configuration.

The default web management page: http://192.168.0.10:8000.
The default username is admin and the default password is also 123456.
The disks installed in one storage server used for RAID should be of the same brand, capacity,
rotate speed and buffer. The production batch should also try to be the same.
3Web Client Configuration
3.1 Login
The storage server is configured through web browser. It is recommended to use IE9 or above,
Firefox 51or lower or Google Chrome44 or lower or Opera35 or lower (We show IE browser in this
guide as an example).
Make sure the IP address of the computer is in the same local area network with the storage server
before accessing the storage server, or you will have to modify the IP address of the computer. For
instance, change the computer’s IP address to 192.168.0.100 and the gateway to 192.168.0.1.
Enter http://192.168.0.100:8000 in the IE address bar and then press enter to go to the login
interface as shown below.
Enter the username admin and password 123456 and then click “Login”button to go to the main
interface.
3.2 Disk RAID
Click “Disk Config”tab to go to Disk Configuration interface. Please click “Create”button to create
a disk RAID if you use the storage server for the first time.

Tips: It is recommended to create Raid5 and check hotspare disk for data security.
Click “Delete”button to pop up a confirmation dialog box. The created RAID will be deleted if you
click “Yes”button. Please be careful to delete the RAID because the record data stored in the RAID
will not be recovered once you delete the RAID.
3.3 Network Configuration
Click “Network Config”tab to go to the interface as shown below. The IP address, subnet mask and
gateway of the storage server can be set in the interface.
You will get a virtual IP address if the IP group is enabled. As to the access of the virtual IP address,
the operation system of the storage server will judge and transfer the access to eth0 or eth1
automatically.
For instance, if you disconnect the network cable of eth1 when testing “ping 192.168.0.10 –t”, you
will probably get a “Request Timeout”tip if you ping 192.168.0.10; and then you can probably ping
it successfully after a few seconds.
