USER MANUAL
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)—Set of computer network protocols that
simplifies the implementation of networks in the home by allowing devices to
connect seamlessly.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)—Network protocol used to transfer data from one
computer to another through a network. FTP is a popular choice for exchanging
files independent of the operating systems involved.
• Network File System (NFS)— Network file system protocol that allows a user
on a client computer to access files over a network as easily as if the network
devices were attached to its local disks. Generally used on UNIX systems.
• Apple File Protocol (AFP)— Network protocol that offers file services for Mac
computers. AFP is enabled by default.
• Web Access
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)—Communications protocol for the
transfer of information on the intranet and the World Wide Web.
• Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer or HTTPS—
URL scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection. It is syntactically
identical to the http:// scheme normally used for accessing resources using
HTTP.
To enable UPnP NAT Traversal for Web Access & FTP:
1. Below UPnP for Web Access & FTP, click Enable for Service.
2. Click the Submit button.
The UPnP NAT Traversal combines with the UPnP feature and NAT feature.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer
network connectivity of PCs and intelligent devices. The Network Address
Translation (NAT) is used in gateway devices that form the boundary between the
public Internet and the private LAN. As IP packets from the private LAN traverse
the gateway, NAT translates a private IP address and port number to a public IP
address and port number, tracking those translations to keep individual sessions
intact.
To enable other network services:
1. Click Enable beside the desired network service.
2. If you have selected FTP as your network service, click Yes to enable or click No
to disable anonymous login, and then click the Submit button.
3. If you have selected NFS or AFP as your network service, the IP allowed field
appears. You are prompted to enter the IP filters that are allowed for NFS service.
Click the Add button to add a new IP filter, and then click the Submit button.
Note: In IP Allowed field of NFS service, '*' means allow all IP addresses. If you intend to allow
specified IP addresses or range, please modify '*' in IP Allowed field.
Mount point for NFS share is /nfs/SHARENAME, Ex. /nfs/Public.
4. You can specify particular port numbers for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP services
respectively. Instead of selecting Default, you can specify the port number
between 8000 and 10000 for each service.
