your computer’s IP address varies depending on its operating system. (For Windows XP, open Network
Connections in the Control Panel. Right-click on your network and select Properties. On the new window
that opens, select TCP/IP and click the Properties button. Mac users can go to System Preferences
Network.) By default, your computer is probably set to receive a new IP address automatically. Change
the setting to manual configuration and then type in the IP address.
c) Using the same process as the previous step, change the computer’s Mask setting to match RTX’s
Mask setting.
d) Finally, use RTX’s LCD interface to change RTX’s Gateway setting. It should match the IP address you
assigned to your computer.
e) Launch a web browser and type RTX’s IP address into the URL bar, as if it were a website. This will
access RTX’s GUI, which you will use to configure the unit.
The tables below show example settings. The table on the left shows the type of settings that will appear
by default. The table on the right shows how the settings might look after you’ve made changes.
3.3 Using the GUI to configure the RAID.
(You may skip this step if you purchased a pre-configured unit.)
You will use the web browser-based GUI to set up a RAID and create logical volumes on RTX. After
accessing the GUI the GUI’s main page should load, displaying a picture of RTX with several options to
the left. When you click on any option, you will be prompted for a user name and password. The user
name is "
admin" and the default password is "1234."
3.4 Manually Creating a Usable RAID Set
To manually create a usable RAID set, you will first need to create a new RAID Group.
a) Click the “Create” button at the bottom of the page to open the RAID Group creation screen.
b) Enter a name for the new RAID Group in the first field, and then select your desired RAID type or
JBOD from the dropdown box. CRU-DataPort recommends RAID 5 for maximum performance,
capacity, and security. For more information on RAID, see Section 3. Click “Select PD” to select
the drives that will be added to the RAID Group.
