Dell PowerVault 715N (Rackmount NAS Appliance) - Manual (Page 15)

By default, the NAS system uses your service tag number as the system name. To change the name of the NAS system,
perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
See " Logging in to the NAS Manager ."
2. Click Network.
3. Click Identification.
4. Type a new name for the NAS system in the Server appliance name field.
5. Click OK.
6. Click OK to reboot, or click Cancel to not reboot.
Until you reboot the system, the new name will not take effect. Use the new name when you connect to the NAS
Manager.
Configuring the IP Address
If you have DHCP you do not have to configure your NAS system's IP address because DHCP automatically assigns an
address to the NAS system. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, you must set the address for the NAS
Appliance through the NAS Manager.
NOTE: Before you configure the IP address, make sure that the NAS system is connected to the network by
plugging an Ethernet cable into the correct Ethernet port.
To configure the IP address, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the NAS Manager.
See " Logging in to the NAS Manager ."
2. Click Network, and then click Interfaces.
3. Select the radio button beside the network connection that you want to configure.
For example, if your Ethernet cable is connected to LAN1, click Local Area Connection.
NOTE: If some of the text is missing due to column width, hover your mouse over the text for a full
description.
4. Click IP, and select Use the following IP settings.
5. Enter the desired IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
If you do not know this information, contact your system administrator.
6. Click OK.
The network address setup is complete.
NOTE: When you change the IP address, the NAS Manager might become unavailable either until you reboot
the NAS system or for approximately 15 minutes until the network recognizes the new IP address. You can
also try to access the NAS system by typing https://new_ip_address:1279 in the NAS Manager.
Creating Users
A user is a person or group that has access to the shares on the NAS system. You create users after you configure the
network properties of your NAS system.
