DMZ
This feature allows one computer on your LAN to be exposed to all
users on the Internet. This can allow 2-way communication between the
DMZ host and other users from the external network. If you meet troubles to
use some Internet gaming or video-conferencing application on your local computer,
you may try to configure this computer as the DMZ host.

DDNS Service
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) service allows the Internet users to use a domain name to access
the LevelOne FNS-6000 or the servers on your LAN rather than an IP
address. This feature is particularly useful if you are using the broadband service that
assigns a dynamic WAN IP address. To activate the DDNS service, you must first apply
an account from a free DDNS service provider (See Appendix D).
Note
: The LevelOne FNS-6000 currently supports the DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org/)
DDNS service.
Disk Configuration
The LevelOne FNS-6000 can accommodate a maximum of two disks
.
The Disk Volume can
be configured according to your needs.
•
Single Disk
You can choose to use a stand-alone disk. However, if the disk is damaged, all data wil
be lost.
•
RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume
Mirroring Disk protects your data by automatically backing up the contents of one disk
onto the second disk of a mirrored pair. This protects your data if one of the disks fails.
Unfortunately, the storing capacity is equal to a single disk, as the second drive is used to
automatically back up the first. Mirroring Disk is suitable for personal or corporate use
to store important data.
•
RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume
Striping disk combines two or more disks into one larger disk. It offers the fastest disk
access but it does not have any protection of your data if the striped array fails. The disk
capacity equals the number of disks in the array times the size of the smallest disk.
Striping disk is usually used to maximize your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not
for storing important data.
•
Linear Disk Volume
You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. During file saving, the files are
saved on physical disks but do not have a disk failure file protection function. The
overall capacity of linear disks is the sum of all disks. Linear disks are generally used for
storing large data and are not appropriate to use for protection of important data.
By factory default, the LevelOne FNS-6000 has been pre-set into one large disk. If you wish
to use other disk configurations, the settings can be changed during th
