Automatically register in DNS:
When this option is enabled and the NAS is joined to
an Active Directory, the NAS will automatically register itself in the domain DNS server.
This will create a DNS host entry for the NAS in the DNS server. If the NAS IP changes,
the NAS will automatically update the IP in the DNS server.
Enable trusted domains:
Select this option to load users from trusted Active Directory
domains and specify their NAS access permissions in "Privilege Settings" > "Shared
Folders". Domain trusts are only set up in Active Directory, not on the NAS.)
Apple Networking
To connect to the NAS from Mac OS X, enable Apple Filing Protocol. If the AppleTalk network
uses extended networks and is assigned with multiple zones, assign a zone name to the NAS.
Enter an asterisk (*) to use default settings. This setting is disabled by default. To allow
access to the NAS from Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, enable "DHX2 authentication support". Click
"Apply" to save the settings. You can use the Finder to connect to a shared folder from Mac.
Go to "Go" > "Connect to Server", or simply use the default keyboard shortcut
"Command+k". Enter the connection information in the "Server Address" field, such as
"afp://YOUR_NAS_IP_OR_HOSTNAME". Here are some examples:
afp://10.8.12.111
afp://NAS-559
smb://192.168.1.159
Note:
Mac OS X supports both Apple Filing Protocol and Microsoft Networking. To connect
to the NAS via Apple Filing Protocol, the server address should start with "afp://". To
connect to the NAS via Microsoft Networking, please use "smb://".
NFS Service
To connect to the NAS from Linux, enable the NFS service. To configure NFS access rights to
shared folders on the NAS, go to "Privilege Settings" > "Share Folders" and click the Access
Permission button on the "Action" column. Select NFS host access from the drop-down menu
on the top of the page and specify the access rights. If you select "No limit" or "Read only",
you can specify the IP address or domains that are allowed to connect to the folder by NFS.
No limit: Allow users to create, read, write, and delete files or folders in the shared folder
and any subdirectories.
Read only: Allow users to read files in the shared folder and any subdirectories but they
are not allowed to write, create, or delete any files.
Deny access: Deny all access to the shared folder.
