Using Shares
A share is a folder on the NAS system that is shared with other systems on the network, whether those systems are running a Windows, Novell® NetWare®,
Macintosh, or UNIX® operating system.
NOTE:
When you change the IP address, you may be unable to access the NAS Manager until you reboot the NAS system, or for approximately 15
minutes until the network recognizes the new IP address. You can also try to access the NAS system by typing https://new_ip_address:1279 in
the NAS Manager, where new_ip_address is the new address that you just set.
NOTE:
In a domain environment, you cannot create domain users.
NOTE:
In a domain environment, do not create local users that have the same user name as domain users unless the local user and domain user
have identical passwords.
NOTE:
In a domain environment, you cannot create domain groups. However, you can add domain users to your local groups.
NOTE:
If you are adding a domain group, you must also enter the user name and password that will allow you to add from that domain.
