solution for all of your data storage needs.
1. 1. Product Overview
1.1 An Overview of the DiskMaster
Securely access all of your multimedia, music and data files on your local
LAN or through Internet
Thanks to its Gigabit port(1000Mb/s) and its capacity for two Hard Disks, the
DiskMaster provides high speed data throughput with the security that all your data
is safe (only RAID1).
Based on the IP protocol, the DiskMaster allows you to access all of your files from
anywhere (an FTP server is included),giving you complete control on space and
user or group access providing a very granular level of security. Furthermore, the
DiskMaster allows you to use your favorite operating system; Windows®, Mac or
Linux.
Ease of use, performance and security
The DiskMaster can be used in three modes: single volume, performance, or
security mode.
.
.
.
Finally, if your business or home needs full data security, DiskMaster not only
provides a full featured backup software, but also RAID1 functionality. This
way, even if you lose one of disks, you will have an image of your data on the
other.
If performance is what you need, you can configure the DiskMaster in RAID0
and stream your multimedia and graphic files for multiple users with up to
260Mb/s reading and 220Mb/s writing speeds for immediate access to your
data.
As a single volume, DiskMaster uses only 1 Hard Disk Drive.
The smart fan control of DiskMaster automatically adjusts fan speed (4 different
levels) according to the system temperature.

1.9 Building DiskMaster HDD System
If the hard disks are being installed for the first time, you need to initialize the
disks before you can use them. Follow the steps described below.
To configure your DiskMaster, you will need to use the web
browser, enter the IP address and then use the web
configuration for further setup. To find out the IP address (if
You changed) of your device once it is connected to the
network, there are several different ways as described on the
following pages.
Use the Setup utility included on the CD (CDRom\A06-
NASG502D\Utility\NasLink.exe). This will list the device
automatically and allow you to access the web configuration
interface with a simple click of your mouse.
16
Insert NAS system CD-Rom in to your computer, and run
NasLink.
Pressing the Refresh List button.
NAS in the same subnet will automatically show up in the
Device list.
Make sure NAS system has probably connect to the network
and search again. You might have to configure your
firewall/Antivirus or even temporarily turn it off.
If a DHCP server isn’t available in the network, the DiskMaster
will use 192.168.1.251 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0. Please
verify that PC is configured with a fixed IP address (EG
192.168.1.5/255.255.255.0) that must be in the same subnet of
the DiskMaster.
Open the web browser, enter the local port IP address of this DiskMaster, which
default at http//192.168.1.251:6666, and click Go to get the login page.
The default username is sysadmin, password atlantis and click Login to
continue.
17
When you first time login DiskMaster or System Disk hasn’t been created, you will
be asking if you would like to do RAID configuration.
Click Cancel, set HDDs as Normal with 2 distinctive storages.
Click OK, set HDDs to RAID mode, RAID 0 or RAID 1.
18
There are 2 differents RAID mode:
.
RAID 0: RAID 0, known as disk striping, has generally
the best performance, but does not offer any redundancy.
In this level, data is broken into small units called sectors,
and sectors are distributed across all disks in the array. As
it does not provide any data protection, if any disk in the
array fails then all data in the array is lost. Such stripes
allocation allows to enhance I/O performance.
.
RAID 1: RAID Level 1, known as disk mirroring, is a
popular approach to protect data from adisk failure. To
implement RAID Level 1, you need at least two physical
hard drives. As the disks are paired up, all disk writes are
duplicated on both disks. You can back up data without
interruption using this algorithm. In case of a disk failure,
the system can continue to run without being affected.
Formatting the 1st Hard Disk
Tap Cancel button on last dialogue box, the screen will display all the hard disk
information and availability.
Please select one of the hard disk to buildup system disk (if You instaled 2 HDD),
and press Format button.
Disk formation is a critical operation of DiskMaster, please aware the notice the
message shown as the popup dialogue box. Click OK to start disk formatting.
Disk formatting procedure includes 3 steps: Disk Partition, Disk Formatting and
System Build up. It will take longer time to complete the procedure as the disk
capacity getting larger. Please be patient to wait for its completion.

the disks. Make sure You have backed up any important data
on the disks before the format process. It may require some
times; do not perform other jobs during hard drive formatting
20
RAID Mode
You need to install 2 HDDs to create RAID system on DiskMaster. When you first
time login DiskMaster or System Disk hasn’t been created, you will be asking if you
would like to do RAID configuration.
Tap OK button on last dialogue box, the screen will display raid type selection as
the picture below (or System ->Hard disk Management -> Hard Disk
Configuration).
