8.2 Accessing from windows
There are some configuration jobs to do before Windows users can access the NAS server.
Please enter the administration homepage first.
1. Go to Server → Maintenance page select a volume as system folder then click Apply button
2. Please configure the NAS server to operate either in the workgroup mode or the domain mode.
Go to the Network→Windows menu and select either Workgroup Mode or Domain Mode. Also
specify the workgroup/domain name.
3. Create local accounts if the NAS server is in the workgroup mode. Go to the
Security→Account→Local Account page and use the Add User or Add Group button to create
local accounts.
4. Get domain accounts from the domain controller if the NAS server is in the domain mode. Go to
the Security→Account→Domain Account page. Get domain user account for the domain
controller. Next, tick some domain account to be cached in NAS server.
5. Share the volume to network users.
Go to the Security→File/Folder menu. Find the volume01 entry and click Create in the Sharing
column (or click Modify if the volume has been shared). On the Property page, check the
Windows Network (SMB/CIFS) checkbox and click Apply.
6. Set the share permissions.
After sharing the volume, specify the access rights of local users/groups and domain
users/groups.
Now Windows users can access the NAS server. They can run the Windows Explorer and open
the path of \\nasserver. The shared folder volume01 will appear in the window. Windows users
can also map a network drive to \\nasserver\volume01 or use the net use command in the
Command Prompt window. The command will be like: net use n:\\nasserver\volume01
