Thecus Technology Thecus N199 - Manual (Page 79)

RAID Auto-Rebuild
When using RAID 1 on the N199, you can use the auto-rebuild function when an
error is detected.
1. When a hard disk fails the system beeps and/or an email notification is
sent to specified receivers.
2. Check the hard disk LEDs to see which disk has failed.
3. Follow the steps mentioned above to replace the failed hard disk.
4. The system automatically recognizes the new hard disk and starts the
auto-rebuild sequence to resume its status before the hard disk crash.
Remote Administration
You can set up your N199 for remote administration. With remote administration,
you can access your N199 over the Internet, even if your N199 is behind a router.
This is especially useful if you are traveling and suddenly need a file from your
N199.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the
following equipment:
•
Thecus N199 NAS device
• Cable/DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support
•
Home PC
• Internet Connection
NOTE
Router setup will differ slightly depending on router used. For this example, we will
use the Asus WL500g because it has support for Dynamic DNS. Contact your router
hardware vendor for setup help.
