Troubleshooting Routers
If you encounter a problem while connecting or using your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d, check the topics listed below for possible solutions.
If you have properly set port forwarding on your router and remote access still does not work, you may have multiple routers on your network. In this situation
you will most likely have two NAT (Network Address Translation) firewalls.
1. One of the easiest ways to identify this issue is to log in to the router to which the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d is connected.
2. Once you have logged in, go to the page that shows the router's WAN IP address, usually Status or Network Info.
3. If the WAN IP address begins with 192.168, 10, or 172, you may have a NAT Firewall between the router and Internet connection.
There are several options for resolving double NAT situations. The sections below will explore the pros and cons of each resolution:
These instructions will refer to the router that is connected directly to the internet as the Primary Router. The cascaded router or router to
which your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d is connected will be referred to as the Secondary Router.
Use the primary router's DMZ
Port forward the primary router to the secondary router
Put the secondary router in bridging mode
Put the primary router in bridging mode
Enabling the DMZ
Most routers have a feature called DMZ or Default Server. DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone, Data Management Zone, Demarcation Done, or Perimeter
Network. The DMZ allows you to enter an IP address that will exist outside the router's NAT Firewall.
This is the easiest way to configure your network to handle double NAT situations; however, it is dependent on your primary router having DMZ functionality.
To enable the DMZ:
1. Log in to the primary router.
2. Navigate to the settings page for DMZ or Default Server. Refer to the documentation that came with your router for information on where this feature
is found.
3. Enter the secondary router's IP address.
4. Save your settings.
Your secondary router is no longer behind your primary router's firewall. If port forwarding is correctly configured, remote access should now be working
properly. Moving your secondary router into the DMZ should not have any effect on the security of the network, since it is still protected by the secondary
router's firewall.
Configuring Port Forwarding on Double NAT Networks
If for some reason the network configuration cannot be changed and your setup requires the double NAT, you must perform the port forwarding steps twice.
On the primary router, set the port forwarding to the cascaded router's external IP address. On the cascaded router, set the port forwarding to the Iomega
StorCenter ix4-200d's IP address.
Bridging the Secondary Router
Make sure that the primary router (usually the one connected to or acting as the DSL/Cable modem) is the only one with DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) and NAT (Network Address Translation) enabled. The secondary should be changed to bridging mode. Make sure the secondary router connects to the
primary router using a standard port rather than the port labeled Uplink or Internet. This will basically turn your secondary router into a switch; however, you
can still enable its Wireless Access Point (if equipped.)
Refer to the documentation that came with your router for configuration information and settings.
Bridging the Primary Router
If none of the above options are available, you will need to enable transparent bridging on your primary router. You will probably need to call your ISP (Internet
Service Provider) to have the DSL or Cable Modem/NAT put into bridge mode, which will then disable the first NAT/Firewall. Once this first firewall in the
modem is disabled, the secondary router will handle all the network traffic, Port Forwarding, and allow Remote Access to work.
You should not attempt bridging without help from the ISP. If bridge mode is attempted by the customer and not configured properly it can
render the customer's Internet connection inoperable. Primary router bridging may also require special configuration information and settings on
the secondary router.
If you configured your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d using DHCP you may not be able to reconnect to it via Remote Access after a reboot. DHCP will
automatically get an IP address from the server whenever the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d restarts. This is a very simple way to configure the Iomega
StorCenter ix4-200d but can cause problems with your router's port forwarding settings. The router does not dynamically update port forwarding settings and
cannot port forward to your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d if its IP address changes.
To resolve this problem you can try one of the following techniques:
Increase the length of the DHCP lease: Your router will attempt to remember all DHCP clients and give them the same IP address every time they
request an IP address; however, the router will forget clients if they do not request an IP address for a certain amount of time. Your router will have a
14 Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d
setting for how long the DHCP lease is valid. If your network requires DHCP, this may be a good solution; however, it is not always guaranteed to work.
You may need to occasionally update your router's port forwarding settings.
Use Static DHCP: Some routers allow you to assign Static IP addresses through the DHCP system based on the MAC address of the device. This ensures
that the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d will always get the same IP address and your port forwarding settings will always be correct. Static DHCP allows
you to leave your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d in DHCP mode. See the manual that came with your router for more information on configuring DHCP
settings.
Use a Manual IP Address: Changing the Manual IP address will reduce the reliance of your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d on the DHCP server; however,
you will need to perform additional configuration for it to work properly.
1. Log in to your router and write down the DHCP range it is using.
2. See the manual that came with your router for more information on configuring DHCP settings.
3. Navigate to the IP address settings interface page on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. For more information, check the Network Settings
section of this manual.
4. Enter a new IP address that is outside of your router's DHCP range. For example, if your router is distributing IP addresses in the range of
192.168.14.2-192.168.14.50, you will want to assign the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d a number between 192.168.14.51 and 192.168.14.255.
Make sure you are assigning the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d an IP address that is not in use by another device.
5. Enter a subnet mask. The subnet mask describes the size of your network. For most networks this will be 255.255.255.0 which allows for 256
network devices. If you are on a larger network or are using the self-assigned APIPA range (169.254.x.x), you will want to use a 255.255.0.0 or
larger subnet mask.
6. For best results, enter the IP address(es) for your DNS Server(s).
7. If necessary, enter the IP address(es) for your WINS server(s).
8. Enter a gateway address. In most cases, this will be the IP address of your router.
9. If necessary, update your router's port forwarding information with the new static DHCP IP address.

Drive Management
The Drive Management page provides settings for managing storage and lets you apply global settings for drives on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.
Setting Write Caching
Select a value for disk write caching.
Write caching is a mechanism that attempts to separate the fast processing speed of the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d from the relatively slow mechanics of
actually writing data to drive.
With write caching disabled, every write to drive will cause the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d to wait while the data is written to drive, which can slow
performance. When write caching is enabled and the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d sends a write request to the drive, instead of writing directly to the drive, it
writes the data to cache (which is much faster) and sends an immediate acknowledgement to the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d saying the write is complete.
The system can then proceed without having to wait for the data to actually get written to drive, which will occur in the background.
While write caching does improve performance, there are some risks. Because the system will respond that the data has been written to drive when in fact it
has only been written to cache, should the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d lose power any data that did not get completely written to drive will be lost forever.
This is because cache memory is volatile. If you lose power, the contents of the cache are lost. Therefore, if there were any pending writes in the cache that
were not written to the drive yet, they will be lost forever. Using a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) can mitigate the risk associated with write caching,
which is why it is recommended to only enable this feature when a UPS is connected.
Applying Global Drive Management Settings
1. Click Settings.
2. Check Add drives to storage system to add a newly installed drive into a RAID set. You see this option only if there is at least one unused drive on the
Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.
3. To change the protection, choose a value from the drop-down menu:
Mirror (RAID 10)
Uses half of the storage space for protection, leaving half for actual data.
Parity (RAID 5)
Uses 1/4 of the storage space for protection, leaving 3/4 for actual data.
None
Turns off data protection and leaves your data vulnerable to data loss.
4. Select a value for disk write caching.
Write caching is a mechanism that attempts to separate the fast processing speed of the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d from the relatively slow
mechanics of actually writing data to drive.

cache that were not written to the drive yet, they will be lost forever. Using a UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) can mitigate the risk associated with
write caching, which is why it is recommended to only enable this feature when a UPS is connected.
5. Check Enable periodic consistency check to enable a monthly parity or mirror consistency check. The check helps to prevent a single drive failure
from becoming a two-drive failure, resulting in data loss. The check runs for several hours and can affect performance of the Iomega StorCenter ix4-
200d. If you do not want to run the check, uncheck this option.
6. Click Apply to save your changes.
Drive status
An image on the Drive Management page provides information on the drive status of your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. The image displays the physical layout
of drives and the drive slot numbers. If a drive has a circled letter, it is a member of a Storage Pool.

checked, the client performs an additional check to confirm that it is using the correct device.
5. Enter a device secret (password) for Device Secret and then enter it again in the confirm box.
6. Click Apply to save your changes.
Attempting to connect two clients (iSCSI initiators) to the same iSCSI drive at the same time may result in data corruption or drive damage.
The Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d Console prevents you from connecting two clients (iSCSI initiators) to the same iSCSI drive at the same time,
but if you connect to an iSCSI drive using native tools, you may encounter this issue.
