recommended that you use the same brand and model HDDs to configure
RAID.
RAID settings are available only for internal HDDs.
Building RAID using 4 x 500GB HDDs takes approximately 3 hours for RAID1,
and 4 hours for RAID5.
Caution
Changing the RAID settings to a new mode automatically deletes all data
in the HDDs of the product, and new video files are not saved until the
new RAID mode is completely configured
.
When the product is turned off abnormally, i.e. by pulling the AC power
adapter out, and then turned on, the product may reconfigure its RAID
settings automatically to ensure the integrity of saved data. While a new
RAID mode is being configured, existing data is not lost, but new data
will not be saved either.
If more than two RAID configured HDDs are broken or removed from the
product, the RAID configuration will malfunction, causing data loss.
NAS
Up to four NAS devices can be connected; each NAS is referred to by its NAS Port. Choose
a NAS Port to view or change its configuration.
Use lets you determine whether to use the selected NAS Port or not.
Name lets you assign a name to the NAS device. NAS Name displays under the Model
category in the HDD list at the top of the screen.
Default Folder lets you specify a folder on NAS to save recorded video.
Enter the IP address, login ID, and password for the NAS in IP, ID, and Password
respectively.
Note
Only the CIFS (Samba) file system is supported for NAS ports.
NAS name and default folder name can contain a maximum of 32 bytes, i.e.
32 alphanumeric characters.(English)
A NAS HDD may not appear in the HDD list if it is turned off at the time when
the product is turned on for the first time, or the product fails to connect to the
HDD for other reasons. In these cases, the product is unable to connect to the
NAS HDD automatically even if the problem is resolved. To connect to the
NAS HDD, you must change settings to Disable, and then change back to
Enable.
If a connected NAS HDD becomes disconnected from the product, its status in
the HDD list changes from "Connected" to "Not Connected." In this case, the
