h. Type the RTX Secure’s new IP address into a web browser on
your computer. This will access the RTX Secure’s GUI, which you
will use to configure the unit.
Direct Connection to a Computer
The instructions are similar to those for a static network (see
above), except that your computer will not have an IP address
assigned if it’s not a part of a network. Since the RTX Secure and
your computer must have similar IP addresses, you will assign an
IP address to your computer based upon the default IP address of
the RTX Secure.
a. Check the RTX Secure’s LCD to find out the IP address of the
Config GUI configuration port. It will appear in this format: xxx.
xxx.xxx.xxx.
b. Next, change your computer’s IP address so that all but the
last three digits match the RTX Secure’s address. For example,
if the RTX Secure’s IP address is 169.254.12.62, you might
assign your computer the number 169.254.12.63 (assuming no
other computer on the network is already using that number).
The process of changing your computer’s IP address varies
depending on its operating system.
Mac users can go to System Preferences → Network.
For modern Windows operating systems, open Network and
Sharing Center in the Control Panel (Also called “View Network
Status and Tasks” under the “Network and Internet” category).
On the left pane, select “Change adapter settings”. Right-
click on your network (likely called Local Area Connection)
and select Properties. On the new window that opens, select
“Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)” and click the Properties
button. 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 Subnet Mask setting to match the RTX Secure’s
Subnet Mask setting.
d. Finally, use the RTX Secure’s LCD interface to change the
RTX Secure’s Gateway setting. It should match the IP address
you assigned to your computer. When changing the gateway
address you’ll notice that a box flashes over the digit to be
changed. While the digit is selected, press ▲(Up) or ▼(Down)
to change it. Press ENT to move to the next digit. After the
gateway address is set, press ENT all the way to the end and
confirm the settings change. To confirm, press ▲(Up) for “yes”
and then press ENT again.
e. Launch a web browser and type the RTX Secure’s IP address
into the URL bar, as if it were a website. This will access the
RTX Secure’s GUI, which you will use to configure the unit (See
Section 8).
The tables below show example settings. The first table shows the
type of settings that will appear by default. The next table shows
how the settings might look after you’ve made changes.
Connecting From Home to Office
The RTX Secure can also be used over the Internet. If you are
connecting to an RTX Secure at your office from home, you will
need to contact your IT administrator to set up a VPN client in
order to log in to the office network. Once you have logged in to
the office network, you can access the RTX Secure just as if you
were actually at your office (see instructions for DHCP-enabled
Network, Static Network, or Direct Connection to a Computer,
depending on how your office network is configured).
8 Using the GUI
You will use the web browser-based GUI to set up a RAID and create
logical volumes on RTX. After setting up access to the GUI and ac-
cessing it through a web browser (see Section 7.2 for instructions), 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 username and password. The default administrator username is
“admin” and the default password is “1234”.
8.1 GUI Indicators
The top right hand corner of the GUI window displays several
indicators.
