Oplocks
The Network Access settings allow you to assign users and groups access rights to specific folders or volumes. By
default, all volumes are open to anyone with read/write access on the local network. Before specific user or group rules
can be created, the default rules must be deleted.
Assign permissions for users and groups on the
local network here.
Determines whether the access rule will apply to
a group or an individual user.
Select the user or group the access rule will apply
to.
Browse and select the folder or directory you are
controlling access to.
Set the user or group permission to Read Only or
Read/Write.
Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of
the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented
in the 32-Bit Windows family. Oplocks are
guarantees made by a server for a shared logical
volume to its clients. These guarantees inform
the Client that a file’s content will not be allowed
to be changed by the server, or if some change
is imminent, the client will be notified before the
change is allowed to proceed.
Oplocks are designed to increase network
performance when it comes to network file sharing. However it is recommended to set the share oplocks to
No (off)
when using file-based database
applications
By default Windows Vista
™
has Oplocks enabled and cannot be disabled. If you are having network performance issues with applications sharing
files from the DNS-321, you may try to improve performance by setting Oplocks to
No (off)
.
