If needed screen shot the configuration or document how it is setup. I've decided to repurpose my IOMega IX4 and build out a freeNAS server for my ever. Stand point the IOMega line of NAS devices (ix2, ix4, and our ix12) simply ROCK.
Iomega Thursday launched its latest network-attached storage unit, the StorCenter ix2-200. Small business owners will want to pay particular attention to this exciting, versatile, energy-efficient, and feature-rich storage device.
Available now in 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities, the ix2-200 starts at $270. The ix2-200 is brimming with features, including a DLNA certified UPnP AV media server, Time Machine capability, remote access abilities, built-in torrent support for file-sharing, both JBOD and RAID 1 configurations, Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, print server capability, and integrated Cooliris technology for quick sharing and viewing of photos. The ix2-200 offers the ability to share media over a network quickly and easily while still providing security and redundancy.
New features include a faster processor, a two bay drive, and the new 'quick transfer button.' This latter feature is coupled with the ix2-200's device-to-device replication function. You can replicate data to or from a drive and set up a schedule for the replication process. For example, if you wanted to schedule the ix2-200 to replicate every day at 5pm, that's only a few clicks away when Using the Web-based software tool accessed through Bonjour.
Though the ix2-200 doesn't support hot swapping, users will appreciate that the drives are user replaceable instead of being fixed in an enclosure. Small businesses will also enjoy the VMware certification the ix2-200 has received for virtualization installations and the ix2-200's iSCSI support.
Energy-conscious consumers will want to pay special attention to the ix2-200. The new ix2-200 offers an idle drive spin down feature where the 'drives will spin down when not active, thereby saving energy', explains Bill Hansen, Iomega's Worldwide General Manager for NAS Products. The drives themselves are also low-power and while there is a fan in the unit, it only speeds up during particularly intense activities.
Other features of note include the ability to connect up to five Axis Network video cameras for real-time monitoring or video capture, effectively making your unit into a video surveillance system. The ix2-200 is not only Mac friendly, explains Hansen, but is a bit of a polyglot; it supports different protocols so it can talk to PC, Mac, and Linux machines at the same time.
Though its features are high-end, Iomega has paid special attention to the unit's interface. The press materials boast that the unit can be set up in four simple steps and the interface is capable of many high-end functions while still being approachable to the average small business employee. 'The new StorCenter ix2-200 is definitely the easiest to use small office and consumer network storage appliance in the marketplace today,' says Jonathan Huberman, president of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC.

Executive Summary:
I have an Iomega Ix2-200, probably first generation, purchased and installed in 2010. After setting it up, I adapted it to my home network needs, and it has worked flawlessly since.
Recently, my computer died, and I bought a new one. I restored everything from backups, and have been happy. As to the install, I recovered everything except EMC/IOMEGA’s StorCenter management application.
So, I installed the StorCenter software from the original 2010 install disk. It could not discover my device, and failed to get through the initial screens. Furthermore, subsequent to the unsuccessful device discovery, my network has been extremely slow. Any accesses to the NAS device are very slow with long hourglass waits for each access. (I am running Win7-64.)
Result: my NAS performance has degraded significantly, and I still do not have a management path to my device.
Details of my network:
After initial installation, I had some issues accessing the NAS from some wireless laptops, so I reconfigured my router and the NAS device details so that the IX2-200 was on a fixed/reserved IP address. This did solve that problem. (That problem is in the past, and no longer relevant.)
Also, of potential note, I have 2 routers – a Verizon router, from my ISP provider, which connects to my “real” home network router (Netgear WNDR 3700). This Netgear router has an IP address of 10.0.0.01. My computer is a dynamic IP address, (right now it is 10.0.0.14). The IOMEGA IX2-200 is a fixed reserved IP address of 10.0.0.9. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. DHCP address start at 10.0.0.2.
The IP of the Verizon router is 192.168.1.1. The Netgear router is shown as 192.168.1.2.
Wild guess:
Business plan pro 11 keygen download for hex. I wonder if the fixed IP address is the culprit, and my install of the StorCenter software has somehow mucked up the settings inside the IX2-200, thus resulting in the now-awful performance. Of course, I can delete the reserved IP address for the NAS device in my Netgear router, but I am worried of making a bad situation even worse.
I apologize for the verbosity; I am hoping to give as much information as necessary to help. I am expecting the answer might be quite simple, and I am thankful, in advance, of any assistance or suggestions.
