Iomega StorCenter ix2 server
Overview
TRENDnet IP Camera
You’ll find that when you receive TRENDnet’s IP Camera and Iomega’s network storage products,
individually they come with great features which will be useful on their own. For example, the IP
Camera offered in this promotion doesn’t need an Ethernet cable connection to transmit a secure
encrypted signal. This can all be done via the wireless technology that comes with the camera.
Further Iomega’s ix2 has the capability to stream multimedia content through an attached DMA
(digital media adapter) to a television giving you the capability to play back music, video and photos
through your network.
Many homes and businesses find that the surveillance application of these 2 technologies is very
useful and may be the primary reason for the purchase. As such, here are some simple steps to follow
to use these 2 products together:
Set-Up the Camera:
1) Ensure that you have the basic system requirements for use of the camera:
a. 10/100Mbps Ethernet
b. Wireless router or access point
c. CPU: 1GHz processor or above
d. Memory: 256MB RAM or above / 512MB or above (Windows Vista)
e. Windows 2000/XP/Vista
f. VGA Resolution: 800x600 or above
g. Web Browser: Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher)

Set-Up the Network Storage:
1) Use the included network cable to connect the StorCenter device to a network hub or switch
(i.e. wireless router) or use the included network cable to the StorCenter device directly to a
computer.
2) Connect the included power cord to the back of the StorCenter device and an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). Note: never plug your StorCenter device directly into a wall socket or
power strip. Unexpected loss of power may corrupt data or damage the StorCenter device
operating system.
3) Turn on the power to the StorCenter device using the power button on the rear panel of the
product.
4) Start your computer, wait for the operating system to load, then insert the CD that comes with
the StorCenter device. Note that if the software doesn’t run automatically, double-click on the
CD icon, then double click the “Setup” icon.
5) Install the StorCenter Storage Manager software. Once the installation completes, the
StorCenter Storage Manager software will launch automatically. Note: the StorCenter
Manager will automatically scan your network when launched. If you receive a message from
Windows Firewall alerting you of network activity, click the “Unblock” button. Also note that
for best results, use a computer that is connected to the same router, hub or switch as the
StorCenter device.
6) Once the StorCenter Manager software has found the StorCenter device, log into the
StorCenter device. If you are logging in for the first time, follow the “Device Setup Wizard”
that will help you create an administrator account and configure the StorCenter device.
Network Storage Installation Is Now Complete.
