The D-Link ShareCenter Pulse, 2-Bay Network Storage shares your documents, photos, music, and videos across the Internet so family members, friends, or employees can
access them. This enclosure, which can hold two 3.5” SATA hard drives of any capacity, creates a central point for backing up valuable iles. The built-in RAID 1 mirroring
technology protects these iles from drive failure. Other options such as Standard, JBOD, and RAID 0 are also available.
The ShareCenter Pulse shares iles over the Internet via the built-in FTP server or the built-in AjaXplorer web ile server. Users and groups can be created and assigned to
folders with either read or read/write permissions. Quotas can be set per user or group to restrict space usage. In addition, the ShareCenter Pulse can be used to stream
photos, music, and videos to UPnP AV compatible network media players.
The included CD contains D-Link’s Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to locate the ShareCenter Pulse on the network and map drives to your computer. Backup
software included on the CD allows you to backup your iles from a computer to the ShareCenter Pulse manually, by a schedule, or in real-time. Real-time backups are a
great way to safeguard against unfortunate accidents that may result in the loss of important iles.
Combining ease of use with practical and high performance features, the ShareCenter Pulse is an organized solution for any network. Free up drive space on computers and
centralize data on your network with the ShareCenter Pulse 2-Bay Network Storage!

5. Connect an Ethernet cable to the available Ethernet port. This cable should
connect the ShareCenter Pulse to your local network via a router or switch, or
¡¢¢¤ ¥¦ §¨©¨¥¢ §¢ ¢¤ ¥¦ §§ ¡ ¥¢¨¡ª
directly to a computer for coniguration.
Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA connector on the bottom edge inside the drive bay of the ShareCenter Pulse. Gently push the drive in until it connects.
When a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “seat” into the connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped may need to be guided carefully into position. If a
drive is not properly seated, the light will not illuminate after powering on the device.

Easy Search Utility
When irst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the ShareCenter Pulse will wait to be assigned an IP address via DHCP. It is recommended that you use the included
D-Link Easy Search Utility when accessing and coniguring the ShareCenter Pulse for the irst time. If you want to change the IP address before logging in, or if you are
unable to connect to the ShareCenter Pulse IP address, you can use the Easy Search Utility provided on the product CD to locate the device on your network and make any
needed changes.

address as a DHCP client or Static IP.
By selecting ‘DHCP Client’, the ShareCenter Pulse will
act as a DHCP client and obtain its LAN IP settings from
the DHCP (Dynamic Host Coniguration Protocol) server
on the local network. By default, the ShareCenter Pulse is
set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on your
network.
IP Address: The IP address of each device on the local area network must be within the same IP address range and subnet mask. For a small subnet with
less than 253 IP addresses assigned (e.g. Class C private IP), each device on the LAN (Local Area Network) needs have a unique IP Address in
the format of (example) 192.168.0.x to connect to other devices within the same network.
Subnet Mask: Specify the subnet mask for the ShareCenter Pulse. The Subnet mask must be the same for all devices on the same subnet of the network. The
default subnet setting is 255.255.255.0. For a small subnet with less than 253 IP addresses assigned (e.g. Class C private IP), keep this default
setting.
Gateway IP Address: Specify the Gateway IP Address for the ShareCenter Pulse. The Gateway IP Address is almost always the LAN address of your router. Most
D-Link routers have a default LAN IP address of 192.168.0.1.
DNS1: Specify the irst and second DNS Addresses for the ShareCenter Pulse. A DNS Address will allow the ShareCenter Pulse to resolve names into
DNS2: IP addresses. Example: Without a DNS address, the ShareCenter Pulse would not be able to contact an FTP site such as ftp.dlink.com (name).
Instead, you would need to use 64.7.210.131 (IP address). It is recommended that you enter DNS addresses when setting a Static IP Address.
Often you can use the LAN IP address of your router as a DNS address. Click ‘Save Settings’ when inished.

RAID, short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a combination of two or more disks with the aim of providing fault tolerance and improving performance. There are
several different levels of RAID, with each providing a different method of sharing or distributing data amongst the drives. The ShareCenter Pulse supports RAID levels 0 and
1.
RAID 0
RAID 0 provides data striping, which spreads out blocks of data over both drives, but does not provide data redundancy. Although performance is improved, the lack of fault
tolerance means that if one drive fails, all data in the array will be lost.
RAID 1
RAID 1 provides mirroring over both disks, with the same read/write speed of a single disk. A RAID 1 array can only be as large as it’s smallest member disk. Because the
data is stored on both disks, RAID 1 provides fault tolerance and protection, in addition to performance advantages.

D-Link ShareCenter Pulse User Manual
When a hard drive fails or becomes corrupted RAID 1 provides a the feature to enable the Auto Rebuild coniguration. This coniguration will take the information from one of
the existing hard drives and rebuild the new hard drive with the same information to get the RAID 1 coniguration completed.
o view the hard drive status you can got to STATUS > SYSTEM
INFO and monitor the Sync Time Remaining ield. If it displays
‘Completed’ the RAID 1 coniguration is functioning normal.
Degraded: However if it displays ‘Degraded’ then one of the hard drives have
either failed or is starting to fail.
This mean that the problematic hard drive needs to be replaced.
Step 1: After the new hard drive is inserted into the ShareCenter Pulse
go to TOOLS > RAID and you’ll now have the option to start the
Auto Rebuilding process if Auto Rebuild was disabled from
the beginning. If Auto Rebuild was enabled from the beginning
the ShareCenter Pulse will start this Rebuilding process
automatically.
