Instant RAID
Network
The Network options, which are also found in the Quick Setup
area of the Instant RAID Utility, allow you to configure the
following variables.
• IP Address Set the IP Address, Network mask (Subnet
Mask), and Gateway variables.
• DHCP Enable and configure the DHCP Server function.
• DNS Set the Domain Name Server IP Addresses.
• AppleTalk Set the AppleTalk Zone. The default value is
“*”, which allows access by all zones. Linksys does not
provide technical support for the Macintosh operating sys-
tem.
• Microsoft Configure Microsoft networking, set the
Workgroup Name and Code Page (alphabet), and enable
WINS support.
System
• General Set the Instant RAID name, date, time and time
zone.
• E-mail Configure the Instant RAID to send E-Mail mes-
sages if there is a problem.
• Shutdown Shutdown the Instant RAID, or create a shut-
down schedule.
Utilities
These utilities are not required for normal operation. They are
tools to help you better manage the RAID.
• Disk Check the disk for errors. (Similar to Scandisk.)
Because the disk check takes an exceptionally long time,
this should be done overnight.
• Log Check the system log. This is provided only for trou-
bleshooting.
• Upgrade Upgrade the Instant RAID’s software.
Status
• Disk Check disk usage. This data is read-only.
• System Check System status. This data is read-only.

Name. By default, there is no password. Unless you have already changed
the password for admin in the Instant RAID Utility, leave the Password
field blank and click OK. You will be brought to the Welcome screen.
If you have multiple Instant RAIDs, you can use the Connect button to
switch to another RAID. Otherwise, click the Administration button to
proceed to the Administrative Menu.
The options on the Administrative Menu are divided between two cate-
gories—Configuration and Storage Management. Configuration deals mostly
with the setup and monitoring of the Instant RAID’s network and system vari-
ables.
The Administrative Configuration options are listed on the following page.
