38 2 Setting up the system Access the IPStor Express Manager You can access the Web-based management interface (the IPStor Express Manager) to add users, create shared folders, and perform other tasks related to managing your storage system. There are two ways to access the IPStor Express Manager: • Using the Storage System Console Using the Storage System Console, you can access the IPStor Express Manager only from a computer in the same subnet as the storage system, but you do not have to know the name or IP address of the storage system or otherwise modify the network settings. • Using a Web browser Using a Web browser, you can access the IPStor Express Manager from any computer in your network, but you must know the name or IP address of the storage system. In addition, if you configured the storage system to use a specific IP address, you might need to specify the IP address of the gateway in your network before you can successfully access the IPStor Express Manager using a Web browser. First access the IPStor Express Manager using the Storage System Console and then specify the gateway address (as described in "Changing the network settings" on page 167.) and try to access it using a Web browser.
