Advanced Settings

Network (Workgroup/Domain)

If you are unfamiliar with Domain/Active Directory networking,

then leave the Network Type and Workgroup Name set to

Workgroup.
To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or domain,

enter the appropriate information into the fields on this page

and click Apply. Only select NT Domain if you have a Windows

NT Server Domain Controller on your network. Only select

Active Directory if you have an Active Directory server on your

network.
NOTE: If using NT Domain, the LinkStation must be added as

a member computer in the Domain Server.
NT Domain & Active Directory Authentication integrate the

LinkStation Pro with Windows NT Domain and Active Directory Servers. The LinkStation Pro participates as

a member device in the NT Domain and Active Directory networks, allowing the LinkStation to use Users and

Groups that reside on the Domain or Active Directory System. If Active Directory is used, then the LinkStation

will automatically receive update information from the domain controller(s). To configure the LinkStation Pro

on an Active Directory network, you must have the Domain Administrator login credentials. To configure

LinkStation Pro in a Windows NT Domain or Active Directory environment, select the appropriate Network

Type and enter the Domain Name and Domain Controller into the appropriate fields. In an Active Directory

environment, fill out the remaining fields. The Authentication Setup fields will be automatically filled out, so

no input is needed there. Once you have finished, press Apply.
