NAS
The NAS page allows you to configure the DXi8500 to present its
storage capacity as NAS (network attached storage) shares that are
compatible with standard backup applications. You can create NAS
shares for use with Windows or Linux networks. You can also join the
DXi8500 to a Windows domain or workgroup and manage users.
Note: The NAS wizard provides guided assistance for configuring
NAS shares (see DXi8500 Configuration Wizards on page 111).
Caution: Caution: Filenames on NAS shares are limited to a length of
256 bytes. If a filename uses Japanese characters, the
filename can be no longer than 85 characters. This is
because each Japanese character is represented by 3 bytes.
To access the NAS page, click the Configuration menu, and then click
the NAS tab.
The NAS page contains the following tabs:
• NAS Summary
• Windows Domain
• Share Access
• Advanced Setting
