To setup your ARKARA you need to connect the ARKARA to your computer, either directly or via your network using the RJ45 LAN cable. If on a DHCP network, an IP address will automatically be assigned to the ARKARA, which will allow you to connect via your network computer. (See connect to ARKARA on Page 10) Note: Your ISPs router / modem can provide DHCP functionality. If your network does not provide a DHCP Server, then please refer to your systems administrator who maintains the network, and they will provide you with a static IP address for the ARKARA. If not on a network, then please use the following procedure to guide you through the simple direct connection process. The default IP address of the ARKARA is 169.254.0.1 In order to connect the ARKARA to your computer, both devices must be on the same network / domain i.e. the ARKARA and your computers IP must have the same address prefix, example: 169.254.x.x Set your PC to obtain the IP address automatically The ARKARA is set to be a DHCP server by default. It is better to set your computer to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server automatically. 1. Start Settings Network Connections
Note: If your current settings are static, then please record them for future reference. DOC0003198. Rev 02 7 / 35 June 15, 2009

FAQ Why can I access the administrators GUI interface, but not configure the system? Check that the HDD is installed and formatted to Fat32 via the GUI (Please check Disk utility section). You must be connected via a LAN connection to carry out this process. After I make configuration changes I cannot gain access via SMB or FTP It is strongly recommended restarting the system when any configuration changes are made. What is SMB? SMB is a client / server, request-response protocol, which stands for Server Message Block. This is a protocol for sharing network resources, such as files, printers, etc. between computers. What is FTP? FTP, short for File Transfer Protocol, is the protocol for exchanging files, typically over the Internet. FTP works in the same way as HTTP for transferring Web pages from a server to a user's browser. FTP uses the Internet's TCP/IP protocols to enable data transfer. FTP is most commonly used to download a file from a server using the Internet or to upload a file to a server. What is DHCP? Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. One task of DHCP is to assist in getting a unique IP number (address) for the computers that make use of the Internet. What is MAC address? A MAC address (Media Access Control) is a number (typically written as twelve hexadecimal digits, represented as 6 bytes) which uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet interface. What is an IP address? An IP address (IP number) is a number which uniquely identifies a computer that is making use of a TCP/IP network i.e. Internet or LAN. The IP address is used by the network to direct data to your computer, e.g. the data your web browser retrieves and displays when you surf the net.

Appendix A
Folder Access Methods (SMB & FTP) Folders created in SMB server (see section 7) can be accessed by the following methods. 1) Lets assume you named your ARKARA MYSTORAGE in the Status page (seen below). This name will then be visible on your PCs network listing in, for example, My Computer.
When you click on MYSTORAGE (seen left) you will be presented with a login window. Enter your SMB user name and password (previously setup) to gain access to the folders in your SMB folder sharing list.
2) These folders can also be accessed by typing in the IP address assigned to your ARKARA. The IP address of your ARKARA can also be seen in the status page
DOC0003198. Rev 02
32 / 35
Type the address in this form \\192.168.1.78 into the address bar of Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer or My Computer to gain access (via the login window) to your SMB shared folders. (The address of your ARKARA will depend on your own particular setup). 4) FTP folders can be accessed in a similar fashion, but the address must use the ftp prefix. i.e. ftp://192.168.1.78 Note: You must use the forward slash in this address! Use of the ftp protocol is typically reserved for large file transfers, and to allow external users based on the internet the ability to gain access to your files at a time that suits them. To make files available via ftp, the following conditions are required. a) An ftp user account is required for the user who needs to access the files i.e. they need a user name and password. This can be setup (see section 8) in the FTP Server Configuration window by clicking New
Ensure that the user account is enabled and the user has the required access i.e. (RO read only or RW read write) b) At least one ftp folder must be available in the folder sharing list to allow the user access, and retrieve the folder contents. Note: Users with RW access can also upload files to their folder/s. To view, create or share ftp folders, select the user (i.e. basil) and click Modify from the FTP configuration window.
DOC0003198. Rev 02
33 / 35
To share a folder, select the folder, and then click To allow external users access to your ftp site the ARKARA must be exposed to the internet. This is normally achieved by using a port forwarding table based in your Internet router, or by making use of the routers DMZ. With this setup, it should result in your ARKARA ftp site being visible on the Internet by using an external IP address allocated by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Access would then be available via the external address i.e. ftp://external_address Please contact your ISP for ftp site setup information / guidance.
