Configuration
When first powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the DNS-323 will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP.
If it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by default it will have a self-assigned IP address of
192.168.0.32.
It is recommended to use the included D-Link Easy Search Utility when accessing and configuring the DNS-323 for the
first time. If you want to change this IP address before logging in or are unable to connect to the DNS-323 IP address,
you can use the Easy Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and make any
needed changes.
The Easy Search Utility displays

the network here.

When logging into the DNS-323 for the first time, you will be asked to choose a drive configuration and format the drives.
There are four options, Standard, JBOD, RAID 0 and RAID 1.
Standard configures each disk as a separate volume, while
JBOD combines both disks into a single volume.
See page 46 for more details on using the RAID configurations.
You will also need to select the disk format type.
Available options are
Ext2
and
Ext3
, with Ext2 providing better
performance and Ext3 providing better support for crash recovery.
Note:
All data will be erased during the format process.
