UPnP:
This feature allows your 5big Network 2 to act as a
UPnP multimedia server. Files stored in shares where UPnP
service is active will be available to play on UPnP-enabled
players (such as cell phones, computers, and game consoles).
For information on using your 5big Network 2 to stream files
to your UPnP devices, see
3.6. Multimedia Server
. For in-
formation on using the 5big Network 2 as an iTunes music
server, see section

Time Machine:
The 5big Network 2 is compatible with Apple’s
Time Machine, which backs up your Macintosh onto an exter-
nal volume at regular intervals.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
If you’ve just added new content to the 5big
Network 2, it could take a few minutes before they are available to
UPnP/DLNA-certified players/adapters.
4.6.1. Active Directory
This feature allows you to join the 5big Network 2 to a Windows
domain. Once connected, existing users/passwords in the domain
are respected by the 5big Network 2 and treated exactly as if they
were created in the Dashboard. You can use the Users page to as-
sign domain users access to the 5big Network 2’s shares.
To connect to a share, click the
Domain
box, then fill in the Fully
Qualified Domain Name, Admin login, and Admin password. For
more complex network configurations, click the
Advanced Criteria
arrow and fill in the Server name and IP address (
Fig. 37
).
To leave the domain, click the
Leave
button, then authenticate by
inputting admin username and password (
Fig. 38
).
Once connected, you should see the domain’s associated users in
the Dashboard’s Users page (these users will be identified by the
word
Domain
in place of password).
