This is convenient in networks where DHCP service is not already available. Note: These options are available only if this device is not already using a DHCP address. Enabling DHCP service on a network already utilizing another DHCP server will result in conflicts. If you wish to use this device as a DHCP server, make sure to specify static addresses in the Ethernet and DNS tabs. Route: A Manual Routing Table The Route tab allows you to specify a manual routing table for each Ethernet interface. You can use this option to optimize performance. For example, you could configure a manual routing table to assure that these Ethernet interfaces were directly routed over a fiber backbone to assure that the unit would not experience the traffic congestion that can build up on a gigabit segment.

Note: The RAIDar utility includes a discovery mechanism that enables it to find any ReadyNAS on the network without needing to know its IP address. Also, RAIDar does not require a user name and password to monitor a ReadyNAS. The Admin Password tab allows you to change the administrator user password. The administrator user is the only user that can access FrontView, and this user has administrative privileges when accessing shares.
