Troubleshooting Routers If youencounter a problemwhileconnecting or using your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d, check thetopics listedbelowfor possiblesolutions. If youhaveproperlyset port forwarding onyour router andremoteaccess stilldoes not work, youmayhavemultiplerouters onyour network. Inthis situation youwillmost likelyhavetwo NAT (Network Address Translation) firewalls. 1. Oneof theeasiest ways to identifythis issueis to log into therouter to whichtheIomega StorCenter ix4-200dis connected. 2. Onceyouhaveloggedin, go to thepagethat shows therouter's WANIPaddress, usuallyStatus or Network Info. 3. If theWANIPaddress begins with192.168, 10, or 172, youmayhavea NAT Firewallbetweentherouter andInternet connection. Thereareseveraloptions for resolving doubleNAT situations. Thesections belowwillexplorethepros andcons of eachresolution: Theseinstructions willrefer to therouter that is connecteddirectlyto theinternet as thePrimaryRouter. Thecascadedrouter or router to whichyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dis connectedwillbereferredto as theSecondaryRouter. Usetheprimaryrouter's DMZ Port forwardtheprimaryrouter to thesecondaryrouter Put thesecondaryrouter inbridging mode Put theprimaryrouter inbridging mode Enabling the DMZ Most routers havea featurecalledDMZor Default Server. DMZstands for DemilitarizedZone, Data Management Zone, DemarcationDone, or Perimeter Network. TheDMZallows youto enter anIPaddress that willexist outsidetherouter's NAT Firewall. This is theeasiest wayto configureyour network to handledoubleNAT situations; however, it is dependent onyour primaryrouter having DMZfunctionality. To enabletheDMZ: 1. Log into theprimaryrouter. 2. Navigateto thesettings pagefor DMZor Default Server. Refer to thedocumentationthat camewithyour router for informationonwherethis feature is found. 3. Enter thesecondaryrouter's IPaddress. 4. Saveyour settings. Your secondaryrouter is no longer behindyour primaryrouter's firewall. If port forwarding is correctlyconfigured, remoteaccess shouldnowbeworking properly. Moving your secondaryrouter into theDMZshouldnot haveanyeffect onthesecurityof thenetwork, sinceit is stillprotectedbythesecondary router's firewall. Configuring Port Forwarding on Double NAT Networks If for somereasonthenetwork configurationcannot bechangedandyour setuprequires thedoubleNAT, youmust performtheport forwarding steps twice. Ontheprimaryrouter, set theport forwarding to thecascadedrouter's externalIPaddress. Onthecascadedrouter, set theport forwarding to theIomega StorCenter ix4-200d's IPaddress. Bridging the Secondary Router Makesurethat theprimaryrouter (usuallytheoneconnectedto or acting as theDSL/Cablemodem) is theonlyonewithDHCP(DynamicHost Configuration Protocol) andNAT (Network Address Translation) enabled. Thesecondaryshouldbechangedto bridging mode. Makesurethesecondaryrouter connects to the primaryrouter using a standardport rather thantheport labeledUplink or Internet. This willbasicallyturnyour secondaryrouter into a switch; however, you canstillenableits Wireless Access Point (if equipped.) Refer to thedocumentationthat camewithyour router for configurationinformationandsettings. Bridging the Primary Router If noneof theaboveoptions areavailable, youwillneedto enabletransparent bridging onyour primaryrouter. Youwillprobablyneedto callyour ISP(Internet ServiceProvider) to havetheDSL or CableModem/NAT put into bridgemode, whichwillthendisablethefirst NAT/Firewall. Oncethis first firewallinthe modemis disabled, thesecondaryrouter willhandleallthenetwork traffic, Port Forwarding, andallowRemoteAccess to work. Youshouldnot attempt bridging without helpfromtheISP. If bridgemodeis attemptedbythecustomer andnot configuredproperlyit can render thecustomer's Internet connectioninoperable. Primaryrouter bridging mayalso requirespecialconfigurationinformationandsettings on thesecondaryrouter. If youconfiguredyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dusing DHCPyoumaynot beableto reconnect to it via RemoteAccess after a reboot. DHCPwill automaticallyget anIPaddress fromtheserver whenever theIomega StorCenter ix4-200drestarts. This is a verysimplewayto configuretheIomega StorCenter ix4-200dbut cancauseproblems withyour router's port forwarding settings. Therouter does not dynamicallyupdateport forwarding settings and cannot port forwardto your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dif its IPaddress changes. To resolvethis problemyoucantryoneof thefollowing techniques: Increasethelengthof theDHCPlease: Your router willattempt to remember allDHCPclients andgivethemthesameIPaddress everytimethey request anIPaddress; however, therouter willforget clients if theydo not request anIPaddress for a certainamount of time. Your router willhavea 14 Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d
setting for howlong theDHCPleaseis valid. If your network requires DHCP, this maybea goodsolution; however, it is not always guaranteedto work. Youmayneedto occasionallyupdateyour router's port forwarding settings. UseStaticDHCP: Somerouters allowyouto assignStaticIPaddresses throughtheDHCPsystembasedontheMAC address of thedevice. This ensures that theIomega StorCenter ix4-200dwillalways get thesameIPaddress andyour port forwarding settings willalways becorrect. StaticDHCPallows youto leaveyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dinDHCPmode. Seethemanualthat camewithyour router for moreinformationonconfiguring DHCP settings. Usea ManualIPAddress: Changing theManualIPaddress willreducetherelianceof your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dontheDHCPserver; however, youwillneedto performadditionalconfigurationfor it to work properly. 1. Log into your router andwritedowntheDHCPrangeit is using. 2. Seethemanualthat camewithyour router for moreinformationonconfiguring DHCPsettings. 3. Navigateto theIPaddress settings interfacepageonyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. For moreinformation, check theNetwork Settings sectionof this manual. 4. Enter a newIPaddress that is outsideof your router's DHCPrange. For example, if your router is distributing IPaddresses intherangeof 192.168.14.2-192.168.14.50, youwillwant to assigntheIomega StorCenter ix4-200da number between192.168.14.51 and192.168.14.255. Makesureyouareassigning theIomega StorCenter ix4-200danIPaddress that is not inusebyanother device. 5. Enter a subnet mask. Thesubnet mask describes thesizeof your network. For most networks this willbe255.255.255.0 whichallows for 256 network devices. If youareona larger network or areusing theself-assignedAPIPA range(169.254.x.x), youwillwant to usea 255.255.0.0 or larger subnet mask. 6. For best results, enter theIPaddress(es) for your DNS Server(s). 7. If necessary, enter theIPaddress(es) for your WINS server(s). 8. Enter a gatewayaddress. Inmost cases, this willbetheIPaddress of your router. 9. If necessary, updateyour router's port forwarding informationwiththenewstaticDHCPIPaddress. 15 Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d

    Troubleshooting Routers If youencountera problemwhileconnecting or using your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d, check thetopics listedbelowfor possiblesolutions. If youhaveproperlyset port forwarding onyour router andremoteaccess stilldoes not work, youmayhavemultiplerouters onyour network. Inthis situation youwillmost likelyhavetwo NAT (Network Address Translation) firewalls. 1. Oneof theeasiest ways to identifythis issueis to log into therouter to whichtheIomega StorCenter ix4-200dis connected. 2. Onceyouhaveloggedin, go to thepagethat shows therouter's WANIPaddress, usuallyStatus or Network Info. 3. If theWANIPaddress begins with192.168, 10, or 172, youmayhavea NAT Firewallbetweentherouter andInternet connection. Thereareseveraloptions for resolving doubleNAT situations. Thesections belowwillexplorethepros andcons of eachresolution: Theseinstructions willrefer to therouter that is connecteddirectlyto theinternet as thePrimaryRouter. Thecascadedrouter or router to whichyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dis connectedwillbereferredto as theSecondaryRouter. Usetheprimaryrouter's DMZ Port forwardtheprimaryrouter to thesecondaryrouter Put thesecondaryrouter inbridging mode Put theprimaryrouter inbridging mode Enabling the DMZ Most routers havea featurecalledDMZor Default Server. DMZstands for DemilitarizedZone, Data Management Zone, DemarcationDone, or Perimeter Network. TheDMZallows youto enter anIPaddress that willexist outsidetherouter's NAT Firewall. This is theeasiest wayto configureyour network to handledoubleNAT situations; however, it is dependent onyour primaryrouter having DMZfunctionality. To enabletheDMZ: 1. Log into theprimaryrouter. 2. Navigateto thesettings pagefor DMZor Default Server. Refer to thedocumentationthat camewithyour router for informationonwherethis feature is found. 3. Enter thesecondaryrouter's IPaddress. 4. Saveyour settings. Your secondaryrouter is no longer behindyour primaryrouter's firewall. If port forwarding is correctlyconfigured, remoteaccess shouldnowbeworking properly. Moving your secondaryrouter into theDMZshouldnot haveanyeffect onthesecurityof thenetwork, sinceit is stillprotectedbythesecondary router's firewall. Configuring Port Forwarding on Double NAT Networks If for somereasonthenetwork configurationcannot bechangedandyour setuprequires thedoubleNAT, youmust performtheport forwarding steps twice. Ontheprimaryrouter, set theport forwarding to thecascadedrouter's externalIPaddress. Onthecascadedrouter, set theport forwarding to theIomega StorCenter ix4-200d's IPaddress. Bridging the Secondary Router Makesurethat theprimaryrouter (usuallytheoneconnectedto or acting as theDSL/Cablemodem) is theonlyonewithDHCP(DynamicHost Configuration Protocol) andNAT (Network Address Translation) enabled. Thesecondaryshouldbechangedto bridging mode. Makesurethesecondaryrouter connects to the primaryrouter using a standardport rather thantheport labeledUplink or Internet. This willbasicallyturnyour secondaryrouter into a switch; however, you canstillenableits Wireless Access Point (if equipped.) Refer to thedocumentationthat camewithyour router for configurationinformationandsettings. Bridging the Primary Router If noneof theaboveoptions areavailable, youwillneedto enabletransparent bridging onyour primaryrouter. Youwillprobablyneedto callyour ISP(Internet ServiceProvider) to havetheDSL or CableModem/NAT put into bridgemode, whichwillthendisablethefirst NAT/Firewall. Oncethis first firewallinthe modemis disabled, thesecondaryrouter willhandleallthenetwork traffic, Port Forwarding, andallowRemoteAccess to work. Youshouldnot attempt bridging without helpfromtheISP. If bridgemodeis attemptedbythecustomer andnot configuredproperlyit can render thecustomer's Internet connectioninoperable. Primaryrouter bridging mayalso requirespecialconfigurationinformationandsettings on thesecondaryrouter. If youconfiguredyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dusing DHCPyoumaynot beableto reconnect to it via RemoteAccess after a reboot. DHCPwill automaticallyget anIPaddress fromtheserver whenever theIomega StorCenter ix4-200drestarts. This is a verysimplewayto configuretheIomega StorCenter ix4-200dbut cancauseproblems withyour router's port forwarding settings. Therouter does not dynamicallyupdateport forwarding settings and cannot port forwardto your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dif its IPaddress changes. To resolvethis problemyoucantryoneof thefollowing techniques: Increasethelengthof theDHCPlease: Your router willattempt to remember allDHCPclients andgivethemthesameIPaddress everytimethey request anIPaddress; however, therouter willforget clients if theydo not request anIPaddress for a certainamount of time. Your router willhavea 14 Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d
  • 15.
    setting for howlongtheDHCPleaseis valid. If your network requires DHCP, this maybea goodsolution; however, it is not always guaranteedto work. Youmayneedto occasionallyupdateyour router's port forwarding settings. UseStaticDHCP: Somerouters allowyouto assignStaticIPaddresses throughtheDHCPsystembasedontheMAC address of thedevice. This ensures that theIomega StorCenter ix4-200dwillalways get thesameIPaddress andyour port forwarding settings willalways becorrect. StaticDHCPallows youto leaveyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dinDHCPmode. Seethemanualthat camewithyour router for moreinformationonconfiguring DHCP settings. Usea ManualIPAddress: Changing theManualIPaddress willreducetherelianceof your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200dontheDHCPserver; however, youwillneedto performadditionalconfigurationfor it to work properly. 1. Log into your router andwritedowntheDHCPrangeit is using. 2. Seethemanualthat camewithyour router for moreinformationonconfiguring DHCPsettings. 3. Navigateto theIPaddress settings interfacepageonyour Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. For moreinformation, check theNetwork Settings sectionof this manual. 4. Enter a newIPaddress that is outsideof your router's DHCPrange. For example, if your router is distributing IPaddresses intherangeof 192.168.14.2-192.168.14.50, youwillwant to assigntheIomega StorCenter ix4-200da number between192.168.14.51 and192.168.14.255. Makesureyouareassigning theIomega StorCenter ix4-200danIPaddress that is not inusebyanother device. 5. Enter a subnet mask. Thesubnet mask describes thesizeof your network. For most networks this willbe255.255.255.0 whichallows for 256 network devices. If youareona larger network or areusing theself-assignedAPIPA range(169.254.x.x), youwillwant to usea 255.255.0.0 or larger subnet mask. 6. For best results, enter theIPaddress(es) for your DNS Server(s). 7. If necessary, enter theIPaddress(es) for your WINS server(s). 8. Enter a gatewayaddress. Inmost cases, this willbetheIPaddress of your router. 9. If necessary, updateyour router's port forwarding informationwiththenewstaticDHCPIPaddress. 15 Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d
