Microsoft Networking Host Access Control
NAS folders can be accessed via Samba (Windows) by default. You can specify authorized IP
addresses and hosts by following these steps:
1. Click "Folder Permissions".
2. Select "Microsoft Networking host access" from the drop-down menu on top of the page.
3. Specify the allowed IP addresses and host names. The following IP address and host
name are used as example here:
o IP address: 192.168.12.12 or 192.168.*.*
o Host name: dnsname.domain.local or *.domain.local
4. click "Add" to enter the IP address and host name and then "Apply".
Notifications on characters used:
 Wildcard characters: You can enter wildcard characters in an IP address or host name
entry to represent unknown characters.
 Asterisk (*): Use an asterisk (*) as a substitute for zero or more characters. For example,
if you enter *.domain.local, the following items are included: a.domain.local,
cde.domain.local, or test.domain.local
 Question mark (?): Use a question mark (?) as a substitute for only one character. For
example, test?.domain.local includes the following: test1.domain.local, test2.domain.local,
or testa.domain.local
When you use wildcard characters in a valid host name, dot (.) is included in wildcard
characters. For example, when you enter *.example.com, "one.example.com" and
"one.two.example.com" are included.
Folder Encryption
Shared folders on the NAS can be encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption to protect data. The
encrypted shared folders can only be mounted for normal read/write access with the
authorized password. The encryption feature protects the confidential data of the folder from
unauthorized access even if the hard drives or the entire NAS were stolen.
Note:
 The function or its content is only applicable on some models.
 The encryption key cannot include dollar signs ($) or equal signs (=).
 Encrypted shared folders cannot be accessed via NFS.
 If a volume has been encrypted, the shared folders on that volume can not be
encrypted.
