System Settings
Network
In the Network setting menu, an important set-up needs to be made to connect the LG Network Storage to the network. If the set up is not performed correctly, connection problems will arise at later stages, hence care must be taken.

Host
① Designate an LG Network Storage host name.
The server name has a limit of 12 characters, this can be a combination of letters, digits, underscores and hyphens; the first characters though must be a letter or a number.
Names permitted: LG-NAS, LGNAS-123
Names not permitted: LG_NAS, -LGNAS, 123-LG, LG-#, LG/N

② Type in host description.
The host description has a limit of 24 characters; this can be a combination of letters, digits, underscores, hyphens and spaces. This explanation only affects the Windows client.
Interface
The Network interface's IP properties are specified. During system connection, care must be taken as restrictions may be created.

If an IP address is provided by the network administrator or there is a specific IP address user would like to use, select 'Manual IP Set-up' and enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS address.
4. LG Network Storage Web Menu Use (for LG Network Storage administrators)
• IP address: Enter desired IP address.
- Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask that suits the current network environment.
- Default Gateway: Define the outgoing route. If no gateway exists on the network, enter the IP address.
- Default DNS server address: The DNS handles conversions between domain names and IP addresses. If the DNS is not correctly configured, e-mails, DDNSs or domains will not function normally.
- Secondary DNS server address: Enter the secondary DNS server address.

* If accurate values are unknown, please contact the internet service provider (ISP) or the network administrator.
[To acquire an IP address automatically]
In order to acquire an IP address automatically, select ‘Acquire IP address automatically (DHCP)’. This option may used if there is a DHCP server (or internet router) within the network. Once the DHCP option is activated, the connection with the web menu will be terminated and a new IP address should be confirmed through the LCD screen or the NAS Detector program. DHCP set-up will regularly renew the user’s IP address from the DHCP server, causing unintended IP address changes, and require close attention.
In the case that it is set up for automatic IP address without a DHCP server within the network, a Link Local address such as 169.254.XXX.XXX will automatically be set up automatically. This can be used when the PC and network cable are directly connected and the PC's address is also set up to 'Acquire IP address automatically'.
4. LG Network Storage Web Menu Use (for LG Network Storage administrators)
[Ethernet Frame Size Set-up]
Configure ethernet frame size. If frame size is unknown, set it to 1500.
Ethernet Frame Size Properties

* Ethernet Frame Size: If the Ethernet frame size is at least 1500 gigabits, specified files can be sent quickly and with ease. In this case, the LG Network Storage alone does not change, but so do the PC and home router/router/hub/switch frame sizes. Otherwise performance will be reduced.
Workgroup/Domain
Set up a workgroup and domains that the Windows network supports. This will allow for access to the LG Network Storage shared folder in Windows. In addition to this, the LG Network Storage domain service supports a Windows Active Directory, enabling the import of existing user information, with ease and speed.
① Select the appropriate ‘Workgroup’ or ‘Domain’ considering the environment where the LG Network Storage will run.

② When selecting 'Workgroup', input workgroup name required. Or when selecting 'Domain', input domain name, domain administrator ID and password.
* Domain: In the active directory user environment, the domain settings should not be created in the local User/Group folder, but should be created in the domain User/Group folder. When the domain settings are created, the network administrator must be available to provide assistance, as the user must have access to all information concerning the Name server. If wrong information is inputted, sharing and use of the LG Network Storage will be limited. In the event of unfamiliarity with the Workgroup/Domain, use of default values is recommended.
Remote Access
DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Using DDNS and connecting the LG Network Storage externally by domain name is possible. (Example: http://myname.lgnas.com or ftp://myname.lgnas.com). To record and connect the server IP address to the in the case of using a fixed IP is possible, though the DDNS allows for a convenient connection in a dynamic IP environment, where IP changes in time. Variation of IP address is monitored and mapped to a domain name in real time. Therefore, there is no need to remember IP address as there will be a fixed address. (e.g. myname.lgnas.com)


① DDNS: Select 'Enable'
② Domain name: Input domain name to be used.
③ DDNS password: Input password.
♣ Password is required in the case that domain name needs to be re-registered for reasons of system initialization, replacement of LG Network Storage among others. It is important to remember the password.
④ Click on the 'Apply' button.
♣ If ‘Disable’ is selected after a domain name is registered, the previously registered domain will be removed, thus the domain name cannot be registered in other LG Network Storages. Caution must be taken at set-up.
[UPnP]
The UPnP port forwarding is used for LG Network Storage to directly receive requests from the router connected to the LG Network Storage. Access to the LG Network Storage from the outside using a DDNS usually requires a special set-up for the router to forward network requests received by the router to the LG Network Storage, and the UPnP port forwarding function allows the router to forward data without a separate router set-up. (This option is only available if the router is such that supports the UPnP port forwarding function.

① Check whether the address of the router currently connected to the Network Storage is properly displayed.
② If the router address is properly displayed, it should display whether the router's port forwarding function has been activated.
③ Select the 'Apply' button.
♣ If the router does not support the UPnP port forwarding function or the function is deactivated, the UPnP port forwarding may not perform properly.
Date & Time
Set up the system time. In order for the files uploaded in the shared folder to display the accurate time and log times, the system time should be properly set up.

Date and Time Setup

① To manually set the date and time, click on the 'Edit' button. Use 'standard time zone' to designate the current local region for LG Network Storage. The standard time zone set-up may affect the NTP and domain user certification, so exact values must be entered.

③ SMTP Server Address: Input the Mail Server address. Refer to the information page in the network administrator Mail Service, and input the accurate SMTP Server Address value. (e.g. smtp.mail.yahoo.com) In the case that the port number used for the mail server is not the default value, the port number should be recorded next to the server address. This would generally be the case when the SMTP SSL has been designated. (e.g. smtp.gmail.com:446)
④ SMTP Authentication: When sending mail, dependant on the mail server, login may be required. In the case of own mail server, the SMTP Authentication must be activated. (e.g. Smtp.Webmail SMTP servers such as yahoo.com perform certification processes. Refer to the user webmail service help)
⑤ SMTP SSL Support: Some mail servers' login information is encrypted and sent. At this time the SMTP SSL Support must be activated. (e.g. Smtp.Webmail smtp servers such as gmail.com perform certification processes. Refer to the user webmail service help)
⑥ Subject: The information email subject can be specified or changed.
⑦ Recipient Mail Address: Input the mail receipt administrator's address.
⑧ Notification Trigger: Set up the information concerning the periodic use of the HDD. In the case of not wanting to receive message periodically, the option may be disabled.
⑨ HDD Status sending time: The HDD use information mail out frequency can be determined (daily/weekly/monthly).
Volume Set-up

- Full: Backs up the entire source files. Unlike the Incremental back-up, Full back-up saves all files in the user designated folder. (Last Backup folder is not used.)
The following is an example of Incremental back-up and Full back-up. For the 1st back-up (Jan 1, 2009) the USB contained the following files:
a.txt
b.txt
c.txt
The Incremental back-up will create a folder for the back-up date with the above files. It also creates a Last Backup folder containing all of the files in the USB. The system folder structure is as follows:
-- USB_LG_XTICK
| -- 20090101
| | -- a.txt
| | -- b.txt
| `-- c.txt
` -- lastbackup
| -- a.txt
| -- b.txt
` -- c.txt
For the 2nd back-up (Jan 2, 2009), a.txt and b.txt had been deleted and d.txt and e.txt had been added.
c.txt
d.txt
e.txt
The 2nd back-up will also create a folder for the back-up date containing only the added or modified files. In this case, only d.txt and e.txt will be saved and the Last Backup file will contain all files in the current USB.
-- USB_LG_XTICK
| -- 20090101
| | -- a.txt
| | -- b.txt
| `-- c.txt
| -- 20090102
| | -- d.txt
| `-- e.txt
`-- lastbackup
| -- c.txt
| -- d.txt
`-- e.txt
For the 3rd back0up (Jan 3, 2009), e.txt has been opened, modified and saved. Only e.txt file will be saved in the new folder. In the Last Backup folder, all files in the current USB, c.txt, d.txt and e.txt, will be saved as is.
-- USB_LG_XTICK
| -- 20090101
| | -- a.txt
| | -- b.txt
| `-- c.txt
| -- 20090102
| | -- d.txt
| `-- e.txt
| -- 20090103
| `-- e.txt
`-- lastbackup
| -- c.txt
| -- d.txt
`-- e.txt
If Full back-up had been selected for all 3 back-ups above, then the folder structure after the 3 back-ups will be as follows:
-- USB_LG_XTICK
| -- 20090101
| | -- a.txt
| | -- b.txt
| `-- c.txt
| -- 20090102
| | -- c.txt
| | -- d.txt
| `-- e.txt
`-- 20090103
| -- c.txt
| -- d.txt
`-- e.txt

② Even in the middle of usage, the administrator can open up the administrator web menu and select the 'Self-diagnosis' tab in the 'Information > Log' menu, so the LG Network Storage immediately runs self-diagnosis.
System failure or malfunction
If the LG Network Storage does not display SVC_CODE[00_00] which verifies normal status and seems to have encountered a problem after running a 'Self-diagnosis' on the administrator web as stated above in section 7.4, follow the steps below.
① For technician's reference, write down the error code appearing on the LCD '[SVC_CODE xx_yy] and make a record on tasks done before the accident and messages you witnessed.
② For error messages mentioned in ①, you can get help from LG electronics Service Site if such errors were caused by negligence. http://www.lge.com.
③ When no solution exists, do not disassemble and call the service center for remote technical support.
Power cut or failure
When power failure occurs, the LG Network Storage will return to its former pre-power-failure state after reboot. In case of system malfunctions under normal environment, observe the following procedure.
① If the system settings are modified, the user must perform a new set up after reboot.
② If the system is still acting strangely contact the service centre.
To prevent data loss, frequently back up files.
① Follow the above description for shutdown/restart.
② In the case that a potential shut down is expected, all files must be saved and backed up. After the power is restored, reboot the system.
System temperature protection
If HDD temperature within the system exceeds 67 degrees Centigrade or 153 degrees Fahrenheit, the system ends automatically and to protect hardware.
8. RAID trouble shooting
The LG Network Storage RAID configuration is abnormal when error messages appear, hence resort to another solution:
Note: To avoid data obstacles, first perform a back-up of all important data from the LG Network Storage.
1. RAID configuration error checkup
- Confirm whether there is an error on the RAID configuration:
① On the Status Information/Volume page, the volume configuration state will show as "degraded/destroyed".

- Confirm which HDD is causing the RAID error.
① LED: The LG Network Storage state LED will appear as red.
② Hard disk with error will not appear in the hard disk status window.

8. RAID trouble shooting
2. Problem solutions
Removing the HDD with the error and connecting a new hard drive (e.g. HDD 2) will display the new hard disk status to be inactive on the system/volume/add or remove HDD page. Select the hard disk and click the Add button and RAID will reconfigure. This will delete all contents of the new hard disk.
RAID reconstruction entails to RAID 1 only.

If there is another failure during reconfiguration, another hard disk should be connected in place of the hard disk at work and reconfigure RAID.

When connecting or disconnecting the HDD, strictly adhere to the following procedure and avoids abnormal system operation or data obstruction.
- In the LG Network Storage, one HDD can be connected or disconnected at a time.
- 10 seconds will lapse before 2 tones are heard when the LG Network Storage is connected to or disconnected from a new hard drive. Next, connect or disconnect the HDD.
Appendix A Volume Construction & RAID Configuration
This section describes volume configuration and supported RAID level. When configuring volume using RAID, the use of Disks of the same manufacturer and capacity is recommended to maximize stability and efficiency of configuration. In the case that the Disks differ in capacity and trademark, data may be lost due to low system stability and efficiency. In the case that the volume of the damaged Disk must be amended, relevant data must first be backed up.
• Single Disk (None) volumes
The volume can be configured to each Disk without configuring the RAID. This is similar to methods with general PCs that use Disks.
If the Disk is damaged, the damaged Disk data may be lost.

8. RAID trouble shooting
- Mirroring volumes
Data can be exactly replicated to the Disk through this technique. If one Disk becomes damaged in the volume, data can be efficiently transferred, saved and backed up to another configured Disk. The volume's storage capacity is equal to that of the smallest Disk in the RAID1, as the data is reproduced from Disk to Disk. The data backup is a priority during RAID1.
The saving of important data is recommended.

graph LR
A["Computer"] --> B["Block 1: A B C"]
B --> C["Block 2: A B C"]
8. RAID trouble shooting
• RAID0 striping volume
The Disks are configured in parallel so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. Because the data is saved to each Disk in parallel, many files of low capacity are read simultaneously but with superior efficiency. Many low capacity files are read because multiple blocks of data are stored to each Disk, though the performance is excellent at this time. In order to secure data stored, Information is not read when at least one Disk is damaged. Subsequently, if the Disk is damaged, the saved data in the volume will be lost. The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the Disks.
This technique must not be used for the saving of important data, but rather for fast data access and for maintenance of the security of its volume capacity.

8. RAID trouble shooting
- JBOD Linear volume
The Disks are configured in series so that they are all being used at once to store data, as if they were one Disk in summation. The volume's storage capacity can be maximized, as the data is stored to the Disks in sequence. Data must not be written in the event of a damaged Disk to safeguard saving capacity. In this way, if a Disk is damaged, saved date in the volume will be lost. The storage capacity of the volume as a whole is the sum of the capacities of all of the Disks. To maximize the safeguard of capacity of the volume, saving of important data is not recommended.
