Identification
Name | If you wish, you can change the name of the NAS Server. Note that punctuation and other special characters (e.g. * / | \ ) cannot be used in the name. |
Comment | Enter a comment if you wish (e.g. the location of the NAS Server) |
Workgroup Name | This should match the "Workgroup Name" on your PCs. If the Workgroup name does not match, access to the NAS Server is still possible, but the NAS Server will not appear when you click the "Browse Network" button (for example, when adding a Network Printer). |
Location
Language Support | Select the language used by computers on your LAN. If multiple languages are used, select the most common. |
Time Zone | Select the correct time zone for your location. |
Local Date | Enter the local date. The NAS Server will set it own calendar according to the date you provide. |
Local Time | Enter the local time at your location. The NAS Server will set its own clock according to the time you provide. Remember that this is not sent to the Server until you click "OK". |
NTP (Network Time Protocol)
Enable NTP | If enabled, the NAS Server will synchronize its clock with a NTP (Network Time Protocol) Server. |
NTP Server | Enter the domain name or IP address of the NTP server you wish to use. The NTP server can be a public server (on the Internet) or a local server (on your own network). |
NTP Status | This shows the status of the NTP update procedure. |
Synchronize ... | Select how often you want the NAS Server to synchronize its clock with the specified NTP server. You can also specify the time of the next synchronization. This allows you to specify that the synchronization should be performed (for example) at 11.00 pm each day. |
Sync Now | Use this button to synchronize with the NTP server immediately. |
WINS
Enable WINS | Enable this if your LAN has a WINS Server. If enabled, this device will register with the WINS Server. This will allow users on the LAN to locate this device through a Router. (Without WINS, "Network Neighborhood" or "My Network Places" only scans the local LAN segment.) |
WINS Server | If WINS is enabled, enter the IP Address of your WINS Server. Normally, this will be a Windows NT/2000/XP Server. |
Options
Enable Guest Logins | If enabled, then the user can use "guest" as user ID to login to the NAS. If disabled, then "guest" will not be accepted as a login. |
Convert failed logins to "guest" logins |
If enabled, then all Windows users will be able to access the NAS via Network Neighborhood/My Network Places, with "guest" access rights. By default, the "guest" user has Read/Write permission to the "Disk" folder on the USB HDD, and all folders on the Flash Drive. |
Enable FTP Server | If enabled, then it will be possible for users to upload and download files using a FTP client program on their PC. |
Allow anonymous FTP login |
The FTP server will prompt for a Username and Password when clients attempt to connect. If this option is Enabled, users will be able to enter "anonymous" as the Username, and any string as the Password. If this option is Disabled, users must provide their correct Name and Password. |
Enable UPnP Support |
If enabled, the NAS will broadcast it's availability. For LAN users with systems which support UPnP (e.g. Windows ME, Windows XP), an icon for the NAS will be automatically generated. |
Port Number | This port number is used for HTTP (Web Browser) connections to this Server. The default is 80, as used by Web Servers.
If this is changed, you should use a number greater than 1024 (8080 is often used). Also, if the port is not 80, you must specify the port in your Web browser, in order to connect. To do this, add a ":" and the port number after the address:
e.g.
HTTP://192.168.0.100:8080 This example assumes the NAS IP Address is 192.168.0.100, and the port number is 8080. |
