Network (Workgroup/Domain)
If you are unfamiliar with Domain/Active Directory
networking, then please leave the
Network Type
selected as
Workgroup
and
Workgroup Name
set to
Workgroup
.
To make your TeraStation a member of a workgroup or
domain, enter the appropriate information into the fields
on this page and click
Apply
. Do not select
Domain
unless you have a Windows Server Domain Controller on
your network. Please leave the network type selected as
Workgroup
unless you are a network administrator or have
been instructed to do so by one.
NOTE:
If using
Domain
, TeraStation must be added as a
member computer in the Domain Server.
Domain & Active Directory Authentication
integrates the TeraStation Pro with Windows Domain and Active
Directory Servers. The TeraStation Pro participates as a member device in the Domain and Active Directory
networks, allowing the TeraStation to use Users and Groups that reside on the Domain or Active Directory
System. If Active Directory is used, then the TeraStation will automatically receive update information from
the domain controller(s). To configure the TeraStation Pro on an Active Directory network, you must have
the Domain Administrator login credentials. To configure TeraStation Pro in a Windows Domain or Active
Directory environment, please select Domain as the Network Type. Enter the Domain Name and Domain
Controller into the appropriate fields. In an Active Directory environment, check the Active Directory Domain
checkbox and fill in the remaining fields. The Authentication Setup fields will be automatically filled out, so
no input is needed there. Once you have finished, press
Apply
.
