After selecting “Set IP Config”, you may use the arrow buttons to cycle though
“Static IP”, “DHCP”, “BOOTP”, “RARP”, “None”, and “No Change”. Talk to
your system administrator for the proper IP assignment type. Use the “Select” button to
select the desired method of IP assignment. If you did not choose “Static IP” you
are asked to confirm the selection with the “
↓↓
” button.
If you are setting up the RamSan-210 with a static IP, you need to have the Ethernet IP,
subnet mask, and a gateway address if you need to access the device from a different
network. After you have chosen “Static IP”, “Ethernet IP” replaces the top line
of the display, and you will be prompted to enter an IP. The “
↑↑
” or “
↓↓
” buttons cycle
through the numbers “0” through “9”. To select the value, use the “Select” button. The
input prompt will move to the next character position. To back up a space, press the “
↑↑
”
and “
↓↓
” button simultaneously. You can press the “Menu” button at any time to cancel
the Static IP assignment. Repeat this procedure until the 4-byte address has been entered.
After you have finished entering the IP, the top line of the front panel will change to
“Subnet Mask”. Using the same procedure as entering the IP address, enter the subnet
mask. The final value you must enter is the “Gateway Address”. If the RamSan-210
is on a private network and this value is not needed, enter the value “0.0.0.0” to tell
the RamSan-210 to ignore this entry. After entering all three values, you will be
prompted to confirm the command with the “
↓↓
” button.
After confirming the new IP assignment mode, the display will indicate “Shutting
Down Network…” followed by a success or failure message. The display will then
indicate “Saving IP Config…” followed by a success or failure message. Next, the
RamSan-210 will attempt to start the network with the new settings, indicated on the
front panel display with “Restarting Network…”. Upon success, the new IP
address is displayed on the front panel for 15 seconds or until any button is pressed. If
the network fails to start, check the Ethernet connection and contact your system
administrator. If the IP configuration was successfully saved, you may simply select the
“Restart Network” option from the “Ethernet Setup” menu instead of re-
selecting the same IP configuration.
For any questions regarding IP assignment values, please consult with your network
administrator.
3.4 Manual Shutdown
The RamSan-210 may be shut down from the front panel. This procedure will safely
synchronize all data in RAM to the internal disk drive storage.
To shut down the system using the front panel, use the arrow buttons to cycle through the
top-level menu to select “Manual Shutdown”. Use the “Select” button to select this
menu item. You will be prompted to confirm that you wish to “Power Off System”.
To cancel the shutdown, use the “
↑↑
” button again to return to the main menu. To proceed
with the shutdown, use the “
↓↓
” button to confirm the system power off. The front panel
