• McRAID Storage Manager Through LAN Port
(Out-of-Band)
ARC-8050T3U RAID storage also offers an alternative out-of-
band method for McRAID storage manager. User can access the
built-in configuration without running the ArcHTTP proxy server
on the host system. The web browser-based McRAID storage
manager is a HTML-based application, which utilizes the brows -
er installed on your remote system. To ensure proper commu-
nications between the Thunderbolt RAID storage and McRAID
storage manager, please connect the Thunderbolt RAID storage
LAN port to any LAN switch port.
The RAID storage has embedded the TCP/IP & web browser-
based McRAID storage manager in the firmware. User can re -
mote manage the Thunderbolt RAID storage without adding any
user specific software (platform independent) via standard web
browsers directly connected to the 10/100Mbit RJ45 LAN port.
To configure Thunderbolt RAID storage on a remote machine,
you need to know its IP address. The IP address is default
shown on the LCD initial start-up screen. Launch your McRAID
storage manager by entering http://[IP Address] in the web
browser.
