At that point you can enter a static IP and configure the rest of the parameters. For instance here is a shot of the web interface where I am configuring the four drives in a RAID set. This gives you block level access to your disk array and it simply appears as another drive letter. Why do you care for home users? Simple, there are several cloud backup solutions that have you pay one price to backup local hard drives and another price for both local and network attached such as a mapped drive.
If you are mainly going to use the RAID array from a single computer, you can use iSCSI to make the entire array, up to 12TB, appear as a massive single, local hard drive and use the significantly less expensive cloud pricing. Only down side is then you would need to do a local windows based share if you wanted to give other devices on the network access to that drive.
One strategy would be to split up the array and have an iSCSI portion for critical files you want to back up to the cloud and the rest of the space shared as a standard NAS share. The point is options, tons and tons of options. If I had a complaint about the Javelin S4 it would be that the user manual is a bit confusing for the advanced features.
However you need to think ahead and have a strategy when you first set up the RAID array. When you configure the raid array there is a box that says Maximum Capacity and defaults to the entire amount of disk space allocated. Nate and Patriot Memory to the rescue!
