Typical Setup Procedure 
From the Web Administration Interface, you can begin to setup your Thecus IP 
storage for use on your network. Setting up the Thecus IP storage typically follows 
the five steps outlined below. 
For more on how to use the Web Administration Interface, see 
  Chapter 4: Web Administration Interface. 
Step 1: Network Setup 
From the Web Administration Interface, you can configure the network settings of 
the Thecus IP storage for your network. You can access the Network menu from 
the menu bar.   
For details on how to configure your network settings, refer to   
Chapter 4: System Network . 
Step 2: RAID Creation 
Next, administrators can configure their preferred RAID setting and build their 
RAID volume. You can access RAID settings from the menu bar of the Web 
Administration Interface by navigating to Storage Management > RAID 
Management. 
For more information on configuring RAID, see 
  Chapter 4: Storage > RAID Management. 
Don’t know which RAID level to use? Find out more about the different RAID levels 
from Appendix B: RAID Basics. 
Step 3: Create Local Users or Setup Authentication 
Once the RAID is ready, you can begin to create local users for Thecus IP storage, 
or choose to setup authentication protocols such as Active Directory (AD). 
For more on managing users, go to Chapter 4: User and Group Authentication. 
For more information on configuring Active Directory, see   
Chapter 4: User and Group Authentication > ADS Support. 
For information about the benefits of Active Directory, see Appendix D: Active 
Directory Basics. 
Step 4: Create Folders and Set Up ACLs 
Once users are introduced into your network, you can begin to create various 
folders on the Thecus IP storage and control user access to each using Folder 
Access Control Lists.   
More information on managing folders, see   
Chapter 4: Storage Management > Share Folder .
