Setting up Your Device
Manually Configuring the Network
There are various settings in the network setup that you can manually configure.
1. Click Modify network settings.
2. Uncheck Automatically configure DNS, WINS, and all IP addresses (DHCP).
3. DNS Servers — enter the IP addresses of the DNS (Domain Name System) servers. DNS is used
for translating the domain name to IP addresses.
4. WINS Servers — enter the IP addresses of the WINS server.
5. From the Bonding Mode drop-down menu, choose one of the following:
• Transmission Load Balance — increases bandwidth by distributing the load across
multiple NICs.
• Link Aggregation — increases bandwidth by distributing the load across multiple
ports in a switch.
• Failover — provides recovery from a failure, so if one NIC should fail, your system
still has network connectivity with the other NIC.
6. Click Apply to save your settings.
If a DHCP server is unavailable for a network interface card (NIC), the device could auto-
assign an IP address, or you can uncheck the Automatically acquire network address
(DHCP) checkbox found in the Information section of a NIC.
7. You can change the following settings in the Information section:
• IP Address — the static IP address of the Iomega EZ . Use an available IP address in
the range used by the LAN.
• Subnet Mask — the subnet that the IP address belongs to. The default value is
255.255.255.0.
• Gateway — enter the gateway IP address in this field.
8. Click Apply to save your settings.
