  25 Quick Configuration The Quick Configuration will guide you through the configuration process step-by-step, as follows: 1.  Enter the name, workgroup and description for this server. 2.  Change the administrator's password. 3.  Enter the date, time and time zone for this server. 4.  Select the language that this server will use for file names. 5.  Enter the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway for this server 6.  Select the network file services that you want to provide on this server. 7.  Configure disk volume on this server. 8.  Configure the method of user authentication. 9.  Manage users and user groups for this server. 10.  Manage network shares on this server. Due to different configurations, it might takes from 3 to 10 minutes to complete the Quick Configuration. System Settings Basic system settings include the server name, date, time, and language settings. •  Server Name You must assign a unique name for your Disk On-line Server for ease of identification within the local network.  The server name can accommodate as much as 14 characters, which can be a combination of letters (A-Z or a-z), numbers (0-9) and hyphens (-).  The
  26server will not accept name containing blank spaces, period (.), or names with only numbers.  The LCD display will show the current server name. Next, you must configure your Disk On-line Server to the workgroup.  The workgroup represents a basic computer group within the Microsoft Network.  Files are normally shared within the group.  Workgroups can accommodate as much as 15 characters but must exclude the following characters:  ; : " < > * + = \ | ? , [ ] / The first character cannot be a period (.).  For ease of management and usage, please set your Disk On-line Server and attached computer(s) in the same workgroup. Moreover, the Disk On-line Server allows you to specify comments (such as administrator name, department, or location) that describe the Disk On-line Server for ease of identification to an on-line user. •  Date & Time Set the date, time, and time zone according to your location.  If the settings are incorrectly entered, the following problems may occur: 1. When using a web browser to access or save a file, the time of the file accessed or saved may be out of sync. 2. The system event log time will be incorrect compared to the actual time an action occurred. •  Language Setting The server is based on the language settings and uses it accordingly while creating or displaying files and directories.  Select the correct language settings to avoid the following problems: 1. Inability to create files or directories with special characters. 2.  Inability to display files or directories name with special characters. Network Settings The network settings include the TCP/IP configuration for WAN and LAN, network service settings, router and firewall configuration, etc. •  WAN Configuration According to your WAN connection, you can choose the following four methods to configure the TCP/IP settings to the external network: 1.  Use PPPoE Protocol PPPoE is commonly used in DSL-based broadband services to establish the Internet connection. Please check with you ISP to check if PPPoE is used. You will also need the user name and password information that supplied by your ISP to properly configure the PPPoE settings.
  272. Use PPTP Protocol If the Disk On-line Server is connecting to a remote PPTP server through the WAN port, you need to use the PPTP protocol. 3.  Use DHCP Protocol The DHCP protocol is usually used in a Cable modem environment or the intranet. The system will obtain the IP address settings automatically via DHCP. 4.  Use Static IP Address The fixed IP address is usually used in some DSL broadband services or intranet, and an IP address must be entered manually in configuring the network. You will need to enter the following information: IP Address The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network. The IP address is separated into 4 groups of eight bits separated by dots. (e.g. 61.218.1.5) Subnet Mask The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network.  It is a 32-bit digit code. (e.g. 255.255.255.0) Default Gateway The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks. If you don’t know the gateway’s IP address, please ask your ISP or network administrator. There are several available options in addition to the basic settings: Allow entering administration web pages from external network If this option was not enabled, you will not be able to perform system administration from the computers connected to the WAN port. You may also assign the HTTP port number for entering administration web pages. Disable response to ICMP packets to avoid attacks from hackers For additional security, when enabling this option, outside computers cannot use the 'ping' program to probe for IP address of this server. •  LAN Configuration If you use the Disk On-line Server as the gateway to connect to the Internet, there is normally no need to change the LAN configuration. Simply change the network configuration of the computers on the LAN to automatically obtain IP addresses via DHCP protocol. By default, the Disk On-line Server provides the NAT function to allow the computers on your LAN to share a single WAN IP address for Internet access. Fixed IP address The IP address is a 32-bit digit code used to identify each single entity on a network. This address will be used for all clients in the internal LAN to access this Disk On-line Server. You can check the current LAN IP address of the Disk On-line Server from the LCD panel (see Appendix A).
  28Subnet Mask  The subnet mask is used to define computer within the same local network.  It is a 32-bits digit code: 255.xxx.xxx.xxx. Default Gateway  The gateway is generally referred as an interchange point that connects two networks, such as LAN and WAN. You don’t need to configure gateway address if NAT function is enabled; just set it as 0.0.0.0. Enable DHCP Server Once the DHCP server function is activated, the Disk On-line Server will assign dynamic IP addresses to any computer in the local network that is configured to automatically obtain IP addresses. Note: Only one DHCP server can be activated at any time in a network, or it may cause errors in communication. Enable NAT Function(NAS-2108RW/NAS-101RW Only) NAT (Network Address Translation) allows the clients that use the internal private IP address to access the Internet. This option should be enabled if you use the Disk On-line Server to connect to the Internet. Wireless LAN Configuration Your Disk On-line Server is designed to act as an Access Point (AP) in the wireless LAN. The system is fully compliant with IEEE 802.11b standard, and provides powerful WEP encryption support for wireless security enhancement.   •  Network File Services Microsoft Networking Users using the Disk On-line Server on the Microsoft Windows operating systems must start Microsoft Network Services.  If the local network has a WINS server installed, please specify the IP address. The Disk On-line Server will automatically register its name and IP address with the WINS service. Or you can enable your Disk On-line Server as the WINS server for your network. Apple Networking Users using the Disk On-line Server on Apple Mac operating systems muse enable AppleTalk network support.  If your AppleTalk network uses extended networks and is assigned with multiple zones, please assign a zone name to the Disk On-line Server.  If you do not want to assign a network zone, please enter an asterisk (*).  Asterisk (*) is the default setting. NFS Service Users using Disk On-line Server on Unix/Linux operating system computer or server must start Unix/Linux NFS service.  The Disk On-line Server supports NFS version 2.0.  To correctly use the NFS service, you must assign a User’s UID and IP address.  Please select User Management · Users · NFS Settings to start the setup. NetWare Service
  29If you wish to use NetWare to access the Disk On-line Server, you should activate the NetWare service. The Disk On-line Server will then operate in a manner similar to a Novell NetWare 3.12 file server. Web Service Other than standard OS support, you have the choice to use a web browser to access your files on the Disk On-line Server.  If your Disk On-line server is connected to the Internet and uses a valid IP address, the Disk On-line Server allows you to access your files using a web browser from anywhere in the world. FTP Service If you wish to download files from or upload files to your Disk On-line Server by using file transfer protocol (FTP), you must first activate the FTP service. •  DNS Service DNS (Domain Name System) is used to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. A DNS server provides the domain name service through the network. Using this, you can create and manage your domain name in the Internet. If you do not know how to register a domain name, please contact your ISP. According to your domain configuration, you can configure the Disk On-line Server as the primary DNS server or as the secondary DNS server. Primary DNS Server The primary name server is responsible for maintaining a list of host name records and their associated IP addresses. You can add the following name records to your domain: A  Forward Address Record NS  Name Server Record MX  Mail Exchange Server Record You may also specify the forwarding servers; the Disk On-line Server will forward all DNS requests that can't be resolved locally to the specified DNS server (typically your ISP) and return the response to the client.  Secondary DNS Server The Disk On-line Server can be configured as a secondary DNS server to provide redundant DNS service for your domain. •  Network Printer Service (For NAS-2108R/NAS-2108RW Only) The network printer service enables printer sharing via Microsoft or Apple networking. Please refer to Chapter 5 for detailed procedure to configure the network printer.
  30•  Router and Firewall Configuration Routing Table The static route defines the network path to reach a specific network or host. You may need to set up a static route if this system is connected to more than one network.   If you do not have other routers in the network, you will not need to add any static routing entry. The system will use the default routing table for communication between WAN and LAN. Virtual Server This feature allows you to make the service provided by the internal server accessible to the users from Internet. The Internet users will then use the WAN IP address of the Disk On-line Server to access all of your virtual servers. One-to one NAT This feature allows you to map an external public IP address to an internal private IP address hidden by NAT. To use this feature, you will need to have more than one public IP address from your ISP. You can use this feature to have several servers using internal IP addresses to be accessed from the Internet. Special Application This feature allows you to use some on-line applications that require 2-way communication or simultaneous sessions. If you use on-line games, conferencing or messaging software, you may need to configure this function. Web Site Filter The web site filter provides a mean to block access to undesirable web sites. If a web site address is added into web site filter, access to that site is blocked for all clients in the internal LAN. Web Content Filter The web content filter allows you to block access to web sites with undesirable contents. Advanced Firewall Rule This feature allows administrators to define a set of rules to examine the network packet flow between internal LAN and external WAN. By default, all packets from external networks are denied except for web site requests. No packets from the internal network are blocked or discarded.
  31DMZ This feature allows one computer on your LAN to be exposed to all users on the Internet. This can allow 2-way communication between the DMZ host and other users from the external network. If you meet troubles to use some Internet gaming or video-conferencing application on your local computer, you may try to configure this computer as the DMZ host.  •  DDNS Service DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service allows the Internet users to use a domain name to access the Disk On-line Server or the servers on your LAN rather than an IP address. This feature is particularly useful if you are using the broadband service that assigns a dynamic WAN IP address. To activate the DDNS service, you must first apply an account from a free DDNS service provider (See Appendix D). Note: The Disk On-line Server currently supports the DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org/) DDNS service.  Disk Configuration The Disk On-line Server can accommodate a maximum of four disks ( NAS-2108R/NAS-2108RW can accommodate a maximum of two disks ) . The Disk Volume can be configured according to your needs. •  Single Disk You can choose to use a stand-alone disk.  However, if the disk is damaged, all data will be lost. •  RAID 5 Disk Volume (For NAS-104R Only) Three or more hard disks can be teamed up to form a large-capacity RAID 5 disk group.  This system will distribute and store data among its various member disks as it is received.  At the same time it uses an amount of space roughly equivalent to a whole disk to store reference numbers with the same elements.  Should one of the disks in the group suffer some kind of damage, you can shut down the computer and install a new disk, and the system will restore the data on the new disk using the reference number.  In addition, if you have a system with four disks but use only three in your RAID 5 group, the fourth will serve as a spare disk.  If one of the three disks is damaged the system will automatically start using the spare disk without powering down and changing the affected disk.  Generally speaking, the capacity of a RAID 5 disk group is one disk’s worth of space less than the total rated capacity of the group. Note. RAID 5 may be used only with equipment which has three or more disks. •  RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume Mirroring Disk protects your data by automatically backing up the contents of one disk onto the second disk of a mirrored pair. This protects your data if one of the disks fails.  Unfortunately, the storing capacity is equal to a single disk, as the second drive is used to automatically back up the first.  Mirroring Disk is suitable for personal or corporate use to store important data.
  32•  RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume Striping disk combines two or more disks into one larger disk.  It offers the fastest disk access but it does not have any protection of your data if the striped array fails.  The disk capacity equals the number of disks in the array times the size of the smallest disk.  Striping disk is usually used to maximize your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not for storing important data. •  Linear Disk Volume You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk.  During file saving, the files are saved on physical disks but do not have a disk failure file protection function.  The overall capacity of linear disks is the sum of all disks. Linear disks are generally used for storing large data and are not appropriate to use for protection of important data. By factory default, the Disk On-line Server has been pre-set into one large disk.  If you wish to use other disk configurations, the settings can be changed during the first Quick Configuration access. Furthermore, to increase the hard disk life, the hard disk will go to standby mode if there is no access within 30 minutes. If any data access happens while the hard disk is in stand-by mode, it will take 3 or 5 seconds for the hard disk to return to normal mode. You can select System Tools · Hardware Settings to change the setting. You can also perform the following disk administration: •  Create Disk Volume •  Delete Disk Volume •  Examine Disk Volume •  Format Disk Volume •  View Disk & Volume Status User Management The Disk On-line Server can share its files with multiple users. It is important to plan and organize users and user groups’ accessibility to ease the administration work. •  User The factory default settings contains the following user settings: Administrator By default, the Administrator is a member of the Administrators group and has access to the system Administration.  You cannot delete the user Administrator. Guest When you use a non-registered user name to login, the server recognizes it as a guest and will allow limited access.  A guest does not belong to any user group.  You cannot delete the user guest or create a password.
  33Anonymous When you connect to the server by FTP service, you can use the name to login as a guest. You cannot delete this user or change its password. You can create a new user according to your needs. The following information is required to create a new user: •  User Name The user name must not exceed 32 characters.  It is case insensitive and it can contain double-byte characters (Such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) But it cannot contain any of the characters below: "  /  \  [  ]  :  ;  |  =  ,  +  *  ?  <  > `  ' •  Password The password must not exceed 16 characters.  Due to security concerns, the password must be at least 6 characters.  Try to avoid using codes that are easily decipherable. You can perform the following settings for users: •  Create User •  Change Password •  Create Private Network Share •  Assign User Groups •  NFS Settings •  Quota Settings •  Delete User  User Groups To administer access rights, you can create user groups.  User groups are a collection of users with the same access rights to files or folders.  By factory default, the server contains the following pre-defined user groups: Administrators All members of the administrators group have the rights to perform system management.  You cannot delete the administrators user groups. Everyone All registered users belongs to everyone group.  You cannot delete the everyone user group or any of its users. You can administer user groups with the following: •  Create User Groups •  Create Private Network Share
  34•  Assign Users •  Delete User Groups User groups name must not exceed 256 characters.  It is case insensitive and it can contain double-byte characters (Such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) But it cannot contain any of the characters below:  "  /  \  [  ]  :  ;  |  =  ,  +  *  ?  <  > `  ' To properly manage security, it is very important to manage users and user groups.  You may set the share access parameters of each user or user group accordingly. •  PDC Authentication Settings If you have a Windows PDC (Primary Domain Controller) server to handle the domain security in your network, you don’t need to re-enter all the users and groups with the Disk On-line Server. You can simply enable the PDC authentication feature; the Disk On-line Server will connect with the NT domain and get all the information of the domain users and groups automatically. To enable PDC authentication, you must enter the domain name as well as the user name and password already established in this domain. The Disk On-line Server will use the user name and password to log in to the NT domain and retrieve user and group information. Once you have configured the Disk On-line Server to use PDC authentication, all NT domain users and groups will appear in lists of users and groups for which you can define access rights. Note:  NetWare users cannot be authenticated via the PDC server. To properly authenticate NetWare users, please go to User Management · Users · Change Password page and type the password for that user manually. •  Quota The amount of space given out to all users in the system can be limited in order to manage and allocate it efficiently. Once these restrictions are in place, users will be prevented from obtaining more space once they have reached their limit. This prevents monopolizing of a large amount of disk space by a small group of users. No limitations are set on the system when it leaves the factory. •  Backup/Restore User Settings You may back up all user settings on to your computer as well as restore previously backed up user settings file to your Disk On-line Server. This function allows you to easily maintain the user settings. Network Share Management The primary purpose of network storage is file sharing.  In a standard operation environment, you can create different network share folders for various types of files, or provide different file access rights to users or user groups.  By factory default, a “public” share folder is created.  The share folder gives full access to all users or guests. Administer network shares with the following:
  35•  Create a Network Share •  Change the name, path and comment of a network share •  Set access right for a network share •  Remove a network share You can create new network shares according to your needs.  While creating a network share the following parameters must be set: •  Network Share Name The network share name must not exceed 12 characters.  It cannot contain double-byte characters (such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) as well as the characters listed below: " . + = / \ : | * ? < > ; [ ] % •  Disk Volume The network share will be created under the specified disk volume. •  Path  All data are stored under the assigned path onto the disk volume.  You can select Specify Path Automatically to allow the server to automatically create a new path on the disk volume to store the network share files.  Or you can assign a specific path for the share folder.  The manually assigned path cannot exceed 256 characters and cannot contain the characters listed below: " \ : | * ? < > ; ` ' •  Comment  The Comment field allows a brief description of the share folder to help users identify its purpose in a network neighborhood window.  The comment cannot exceed 128 characters. Once the network share is created, you can start assigning access rights to users or user groups: •  Full Access Full access allows the user or user group to read, write, create, or remove all files and directories in the network share. •  Read Only Reads files only in the network share but denies functions to write, create or delete files or directories. •  Deny Access Denies all files on the network share.
  36System Tools The following system tools allow optimized maintenance or management of your Disk On-line Server: •  SNMP Settings In order to use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to manage the Disk On-line Server's network components, the SNMP service must be started. •  Alert Notification Configures administrator’s e-mail address and SMTP server’s IP address.  In case of warning or malfunction, an email is automatically sent to the administrator. •  Restart / Shutdown Powers off or restarts the Disk On-line Server. •  Hardware Settings You can enable or disable the following hardware functions of your Disk On-line Server: 1.  Enable LCD panel setting function Allow you to change the TCP/IP configuration using the LCD panel buttons. 2.  Enable configuration reset switch Depress and hold on the configuration reset switch for 5 seconds to reset the administrator password and network settings to the factory default. 3.  Enable hard disk standby mode  Hard disk will go to standby mode if there is no access within the period you specify. 4.  Enable buzzer If the buzzer is disabled, it will not sound when a system error occurs, but the warning light will still shine. •  System Update Performs system software updates. Make sure that the image file that you are about to update is the correct version and read through the instructions carefully.  It is wise to back up all existing data on the Disk On-line Server prior to performing system software update. The current settings will remain unchanged after the system is upgraded. •  Change Logo You can place a picture that you desire on the upper right corner of the home page. The size of the picture cannot exceed 20K. •  Remote Replication  User can backup data from local NAS to another NAS without backup software. It can provide schedule Full/Incremental/Sync remote replication.
  37Statistics & Logs You can monitor the current logon user of the Disk On-line Server and the system event logs for the purpose of user administration or system diagnostic reference. •  Active Users Displays information of all online users. •  Event Logs The Disk On-line Server can store thousands of recent event logs, including warning, error and information messages.  In the event of a system malfunction (LCD error indicator lights up), the event logs can be retrieved to help diagnose the system problem. •  DHCP Logs If the DHCP server function is activated, you can use it to monitor all of the assigned dynamic addresses, client MAC addresses and other information.
