[. . . ] Select Disk Format from the left-side menu to format your USB hard disk(s). 26 Advanced Settings Disk Management (Disk Check) Disk Check checks any of your hard drives for errors. To use Disk Check, select the disk that you want to check from the target pulldown and click Select Target. If a folder with AppleTalk on is accessed from a modern OS through SMB, these limitations will not apply. Remote Backup Password will set a password on this share for other LinkStations who want to use it as a remote backup target. This password will not affect users attempting to access the share; it only pertains to remote LinkStations trying to access this share for backup tasks. 31 Advanced Settings Shared Folders (Access restrictions) To use Access Restrictions for a share, select Enable. Highlight groups or users in the All Groups/ Users column and use the left-pointing arrow buttons (located just to the left of each box) to move individual groups or users from the All Groups/Users column to the Read Only box (if you want to give them read access only) or all the way to the Writable box, if you want to give them full access to the share. Right-pointing arrows will move highlighted users or groups back to the right. Click Apply when you have your groups and users in the appropriate boxes. 32 Advanced Settings Shared Folders (Service Setup) To allow FTP Access to your LinkStation, choose Enable for FTP Server. To enable legacy AppleTalk support, choose Enable for AppleTalk Protocol. FTP Server Info: Enabling the FTP Server will allow users to connect to shares via FTP protocol. Their username and password is used for their login credentials, and they will only have access to shares that have read-only or writeable access to on the LinkStation. Using `BuffaloNAS. com' is recommended. Otherwise, you'll have to manage your own DNS settings. `Auto-Configure Firewall' is also recommended if your router supports UPnP (most do since 2001). If you choose not to enable this, you must manually configure your router and firewall to forward internal port 9000 to the Internet. Choose a name for your BuffaloNAS account and a password ("key"). This name is the name that will be used to access your LinkStation and to share with your friends. The password for this protects other people from using it, so picking a strong password is recommended. Click Help in the top right of the window for detailed information on each setting. 37 Configuring WebAccess Select `Folders Setup' in the left-side menu. Any shares on your LinkStation will appear on the list to the right. Click on the icon beside it to select a share for web access. Choose your desired level of Web Access from the `Web Access Settings' dropbox: `Disable' will prevent remote access to this share through WebAccess. [. . . ] To change a LinkStation's IP Address, click Menu and choose Properties. 63 LinkStation Client Utility IP Address Setup From the IP Settings tab, you may enter your IP Address and Subnet Mask manually, or enable your LinkStation to acquire them automatically from a DHCP server. Press OK when you're done. 64 Troubleshooting Disk Errors If LinkStation encounters a disk error, it will be reported in the LinkStation status on the top of any of the Web-Based configuration screens. Run a Disk Scan in the event of this error. If that doesn't work, try a reformat. [. . . ]
