Configuring the default settings

Configuring the DS-System : Configuring the DS-System settings : Configuring the default settings

These settings are optional. If default values have been specified, they will appear in the corresponding fields when you create new customer accounts.

To configure the default settings for the DS-System:

1. On the Setup menu, click Configuration. The DS-System Configuration dialog box appears.

F1 Help: "DS-System Configuration - Defaults Tab"

2. In the DS-Client Bandwidth Throttle section, configure the defaults (in Kilobytes per second):

a) Under New Customers, configure the default bandwidth throttle that will appear when you create a new customer. You can configure separate settings for To DS-System and From DS-System.

• Unlimited – No bandwidth restriction

• Limited to – Maximum throughput to or from DS-System is restricted to the specified amount per second. The minimum value is 5 KB/sec and the maximum value is 999,999 KB/sec.

• Scheduled – Variable throttle according to selected schedule. “Scheduling the bandwidth throttle”.

b) Under Existing Customers, you can update DS-Client accounts that already exist on the DS-System.

• Click Manage DS-Clients Bandwidth to adjust the bandwidth settings for all existing DS-Client accounts. This opens the Bandwidth Throttle dialog box (see: “Configuring the bandwidth throttle settings”).

• Select the Apply defaults to existing customers check box to update all existing customer accounts to use these default settings. Click Apply. Changes are made to all existing customer accounts (however no changes are made to any existing DS-Clients).

NOTE: These options are for convenience, especially if you are managing a DS-System with many customer accounts and DS-Client accounts, and do not want to right-click on each account to modify the properties.

3. In the Storage Quota for new Customers section, click [...] to edit the default quotas for new customer accounts.

F1 Help: "Edit Default Customer Storage Quotas"

a) In the Customer Storage Quota section, set the defaults to be displayed when you use the New Customer Wizard.

b) In the Default DS-Client Storage Quota section, set the defaults to be displayed when you use the New Customer Wizard.

c) Click OK.

4. In the Storage History Settings for new Customers section, select a History Interval. This is how frequently the DS-System will save storage information in its logs.

5. Click OK or Apply.
