Enabling Active Directory Trusted Domains
By enabling Active Directory trusted domains on your px12-400r, you enable the importing of users
and groups from other trusted domains to your px12-400r device. Those users and groups from other
domains will then have access to features on your px12-400r, including accessing folders and
documents in Shares, and joining any Personal Cloud of which the device is a member.
Now that you have enabled access to all trusted domains, you can add users and groups from those
trusted domains to your px12-400r. For more information, refer to
