Once your drive is connected properly to your network, you will be able to use it as you would any hard drive for storing your data and for performing data back-up functions. Before you begin to use the NAS drive there are a few important things to learn about your new product. Controls, Connectors and Indicators First familiarize yourself with the control keys and the various connectors on the unit. Front Panel Area The front panel contains only the status LED, as illustrated below. 1. The green LED will come on to indicate the power-on state. During the power down sequence, the LED will flash for about 15 seconds while the drive's internal software shuts down in an orderly fashion. [. . . ] If you want to edit the member list of a current group, first highlight that group's name in the Existing Groups box, and then press the Members button. If you have created a new group and want to assign one or more existing users to this group, then after pressing Save as described above, press the Members button to proceed to the next screen. The Members screen presents a list of the selected group's assigned members in the box on the left. The users listed in the right box are not currently members of the group. By selecting user names and pressing either the Add or Remove button you can reassign various users to the group. When done with your assignments, press Save to save your changes. Note that if you are using the Group Management dialogue to create a new group, there may be other properties that you want to set for this group. For example, after creating a new group through Advanced / Group Management, share access for that group can be set by leaving Group Management and going to File and Print / Share Management. This dialogue is explained later in this reference section. 26 File and Print This group of settings allows for naming the Windows Workgroup, enabling certain server protocols (such as FTP, NFS, and print server), as well as providing full control over the creation and management of folders (shares) on the drive. File Server Enter the main screen of File Server Setting by selecting Advanced / File and Print / File Server. This screen presents options for Windows Workgroup and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), for enabling File Transfer Protocol (FTP), and Network File System (NFS) server. Each subgroup of settings is described below. After completing the form you must press Save to save your changes. Windows Setting With these settings you can enable or disable the NETBEUI transport protocol, which is required for SMB/CIFS file sharing in Windows. For example, for shared folders to be visible in "My Network Places", this protocol needs to be running. When Windows Setting is enabled, you can modify the Windows Workgroup name and description. If a WINS server is available, you may optionally fill in its IP address. FTP Server Setting You can enable or disable the FTP server support. If enabled, you can enter the port number you will use for FTP (default is port 21). Once FTP is enabled, you can remotely login to the NAS drive via FTP using your username and password. You will then have FTP access to those folders for which you have access privileges. If you login to FTP anonymously and Guest Access is enabled (see below) you will access the guest-share folder. In order to reach the FTP server through the WAN, a public IP address should be assigned to the NAS, or alternatively you can configure a Network Address Translation (NAT) router to map a public IP address to the NAS drive's private IP address on the LAN. 27 NFS Server Setting The Network File System (NFS) was developed to allow computers to mount a disk volume on a remote computer as if it were on a local hard drive.
