2.8 Management Methods

There are three management methods to manage the iSCSI RAID subsystem, describe
in the following:

2.8.1 Web GUI

The iSCSI RAID subsystem supports graphical user interface to manage the

system. Be sure to connect LAN cable to your R-Link port. The default setting of
management port IP is DHCP and the DHCP address displays on LCM; user can

check LCM for the IP first, then open the browser and type the DHCP address:
(The DHCP address is dynamic and user may need to check every time after

reboot again.) When DHCP service is not available, the subsystem uses zero config
(Zeroconf) to get an IP address.


Example on LCM, the subsystem gets a DHCP address 192.168.10.50 from DHCP
server.

192.168.10.50
