Select ‘manual IP setting’ when you have received an assigned IP address from a network administrator, or there is an IP address you wish to use. And enter IP address, sub-net mask, standard gateway, DNS address as in the following.

-

IP address: enter IP address you wish to use

-

Sub-net mask: Enter a sub-net mask appropriate for a current network environment.

-

Default gateway address: It assigns a route to go outside

When there is no standard gateway present on the network, enter the IP address.

-

DNS server address(Primary): DNS server takes care of the conversion between domain name and IP address. If An adequate DNS is not set up, email,

DDNS and domain function cannot operate normally.

-

This chapter gives the information and explains the function of the data volume the user stores. In order for data to be saved on to LG Network

Storage, volume must be set up. If the volume is not configured, you cannot connect to the network drive nor use functions such as backing up using USB or an optical disk.

This product provides the following 5 volume configuration methods for the user’s requirement

- RAID 0(Stripping)

- RAID 1(Mirroring) for important data

- linear(JBOD) volume

- RAID 1(Mirroring) + RAID 0(Stripping)

- Individual disks(disk1,disk2)

※

When you first purchase the product, the volume is already organized.

Therefore please use this menu only when you wish to change the volume organization set-up.

※ When organizing a volume, certain section of the hard disk is assigned as a system section of LG Network Storage. Consequently a capacity of the volume after the volume organization appears smaller than the capacity of the hard disk.

1. Volume format

To configure the volume, follow the below procedures. Configuration of the volume will remove all existing user’s data in the hard disk and will not be recovered.

※ In the process of volume configuration, the web menu and the buttons in the front will not be available.

Incremental back-up and Full back-up

LG Network Storage supports two types namely, incremental back-up and full backup for the back-up of mobile storage device. For the location in which mobile storage device is backed up, there are user assigned folder and last backup folder.

- Incremental : All of the data of the assigned mobile storage device are backed up in the Last Backup folder. In the folder user assigned, only added contents are backed up when compared to the last backup folder previously backed up.

- Full : It performs back-up for the whole original file. Unlike incremental back-up, full back-up contains the whole back-up contents in the folder user assigned..(It does not save separately in the Last Backup folder)

This is an example about Incremental back-up and Full back-up. On first backup(January 1st 2009), USB contains files as in the following. ex 1) in this case, when USB back-up proceeds with Incremental type, folder of the pertinent date of back-up is created and above files are saved. At the same time, last backup folder is created and all of the files currently present in USB are backed up. At this time, system folder is created as follows.

Volume Construction & RAID Configuration

This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level.

1. Single Disk (None) volumes

The volume can be configured to each Disk without configuring the RAID. This issimilar to methods with general PCs that use Disks.

If the Disk is damaged, the damaged Disk data may be lost.

2. Mirroring volumes

Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk becomes damaged in the volume, data can be efficiently transferred, saved and backed up to another configured Disk. The volume’s storage capacity is equal to that of the smallest

Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk. The data backup is a priority during RAID1.

The saving of important data is recommended.

Volume Construction & RAID Configuration

3. RAID0 striping volume

The Disks are configured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each Disk in parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efficiency.

Many low capacity files are read because multiple blocks of data are stored to each

Disk, though the performance is excellent at this time. In order to secure data stored,

Information is not read when at least one Disk is damaged. Subsequently, if the Disk is damaged, the saved data in the volume will be lost.

The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the

Disks.

This technique must not be used for the saving of important data, but rather for fast data access and for maintenance of the security of its volume capacity.

4. JBOD Linear volume

The Disks are configured in series so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume’s storage capacity can be maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence. Data must not be written in the event of a damaged Disk to safeguard saving capacity. In this way, if a Disk is damaged, saved date in the volume will be lost. The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the Disks. To maximize the safeguard of capacity of the volume, saving of important data is not recommended.
