User Manual

• When the LinkStation joins an Active Directory domain, FTP is disabled. Before using FTP, move the FTP switch

back to the on position.

• Don’t disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to

enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.

Configuring NT Domain

If there is an NT domain environment, the LinkStation will use account information from the NT domain server

to set access restrictions for files and folders on the LinkStation. There’s no need to perform individual account

management for the LinkStation. If multiple LinkStations are installed on the network, the account information is

centrally managed in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and management.

Note: The LinkStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 domain users and 1000 groups.

2 From Advanced Settings, click Network.

3 Click to the right of “Workgroup/Domain”.

4 Click Edit.
