Connecting to RAIDXpert from the Internet

The above instructions cover connections between the Host PC and other PCs
using RAIDXpert over your company network. It is also possible to connect to a
Host PC from the Internet.

Your MIS Administrator can tell you how to access your network from outside the
firewall. Once you are logged onto the network, you can access the Host PC
using its IP address. See “Logging into RAIDXpert” on page 13 for more
information.

Please note that only the Host PC can read and write data to the logical drives.
However, other PCs can monitor the Host PC from virtually any location.

Running RAIDXpert without Network Connection

While RAIDXpert was designed to run over a network, you can run RAIDXpert
without a network connection but only from the Host PC. Follow this procedure:
1.

Choose RAIDXpert in the Windows Programs menu.
Or choose RAIDXpert in the Linux Applications menu.
Your browser opens and displays a “no connection to the Internet is currently
available” message.

2.

Click the Work Offline button.

3.

In the RAIDXpert login screen, enter your user name and password (if used),
then click the Sign in button.
A “webpage unavailable while offline” message will display.

4.

Click the Connect button.
A “no connection to the Internet is currently available” message will display.

5.

Click the Try Again button.

After a few moments, RAIDXpert will display normally in your browser.
