Kanguru Solutions iNAS-100 - Manual (Page 31)

DMZ
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 are having trouble using some
Internet gaming or video-conferencing applications on your local computer,
you may try to configure the iNAS as a DMZ host.
• DDNS Service
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service allows the Internet users to use a domain name
to access the Kanguru iNAS 100 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 Kanguru iNAS 100 currently supports the DynDNS
(http://www.dyndns.org/) DDNS service.
Disk Configuration
• Single Disk
You can choose to use a stand-alone disk. However, if the disk is damaged, all
data will be lost.
By factory default, the Kanguru iNAS 100 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
