RNAS-1200 Series Setting Up Network Shares Building a Network Share on Windows Systems To build a Windows network share from a client computer to the RNAS-1200 users may use one of two methods. The first is a manual login; each time you connect you will need to type the RNAS-1200’s network IP address, username, and password, and connections will be subject to timing out. The second method is to build a permanent shared folder link on your computer desktop.
RNAS-1200 Series Setting Up Network Shares ATTENTION The username and password associated with the SAMBA account should not be the same password and user account associated with the RNAS administration interface, or with its administrative account. Method 2: Building a Permanently Mapped Share If you do not want to force users to manually connect to the RNAS-1200 each time they log on, you may create a shared directory on the Windows desktop using the automated Map Network Drive utility.
RNAS-1200 Series Setting Up Network Shares Step 3: A new network drive will now appear on your computer. From now on, you will only need to double-click the drive to connect to the RNAS-1200. If you wish to create a shortcut to your desktop, you may do so by right-clicking and selecting Create Shortcut. Deleting a Permanently Mapped Share Sometimes, you may need to connect to the RNAS-1200 SAMBA server by a different user account. When this happens, you will need to delete the permanently mapped share.
RNAS-1200 Series Setting Up Network Shares Building a Network Share on Linux Systems Connecting to the RNAS-1200 SAMBA Server If you are using the Linux Ubuntu GUI, you will only be able to access the RNAS-1200 SAMBA server after first installing the smbfs package. You may use the Synaptic software manager, or #:/apt-get smbfs. After installing the appropriate software, simply follow these steps: Step 1: Open the Home Folder window, in the Places menu. Then press Ctrl + L to display the Go To table.
RNAS-1200 Series Setting Up Network Shares Step 4: Click on the shared directory icon and a dialog should appear. Here you may enter the user name and password for the SAMBA share you wish to access.
