Device Identification
The Device Identification page for your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d Console displays and enables you to change the Storage Device Name, the Storage Device

You can also configure an Active Directory Domain on this page.
Change any of these by editing the text fields. Click Apply to save your changes.
Device Name
Enter a name for the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. Use a name that will help you identify it on your network.
Device Descriptive Name

they have explicitly defined a different workgroup on their other computers.
Configuring Active Directory
If you have an existing Active Directory user organization, you can incorporate it into the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d Console.
When you configure Active Directory, you enable security on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.

point to your DNS server. On the Network page, uncheck Automatically configure all network settings, type the IP address of your DNS Server in the
text box, and click Apply to save your settings.
2. Configure the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d to join the Active Directory domain. Active Directory — select this mode if you already have an existing
user organization, such as Active Directory, that you want to incorporate into the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.
3. Provide the following connectivity information:
Domain Name — the actual name you used for your Active Directory domain, for example, sohoad.com.

Organizational Unit — an optional predefined subset of directory objects with an Active Directory domain.
Administrator Username — the Active Directory username with domain administrator privilege.

Active Directory server.

4. Click Apply to save your settings.
Enabling Active Directory Trusted Domains
By enabling Active Directory trusted domains on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d, you can enable the importing of users and groups from other trusted
domains to your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d device. Those users and groups from other domains will then have access to features on your Iomega StorCenter
ix4-200d, including accessing folders and documents in Shares, and joining any Personal Cloud of which the device is a member.
Now that you have enabled access to all trusted domains, you can add users and groups from those trusted domains to your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. For
more information, refer to Manage Users and Groups with Active Directory.
