Step 2: RAID Creation 

Next, administrators can configure their preferred RAID setting and build their 
RAID volume. You can access RAID settings from the menu bar of the Web 
Administration Interface by navigating to Storage > RAID. 
 
For more information on configuring RAID, see Chapter 4: System 
Management >

Step 3: Create Local Users or Setup Authentication 

Once the RAID is ready, you can begin to create local users for the N5200PRO, or 
choose to setup authentication protocols such as Active Directory (AD). 
 
For more on managing users, go to Chapter 4: System Management > 

User 

and Group Management

 
For more information on configuring Active Directory, see Chapter 4: System 
Management > User and Group Management > 

ADS/NT Configuration

 
For information about the benefits of Active Directory, see 

Appendix D: Active 

Directory Basics

Step 4: Create Folders and Set Up ACLs 

Once users are introduced into your network, you can begin to create various 
folders on the N5200PRO and control user access to each using Folder Access 
Control Lists.  
 
More information on managing folders, see Chapter 4: System Management > 

Folder Management

 
To find out about configuring Folder Access Control Lists, see Chapter 4: System

Step 5: Start Services 

Finally, you can start to setup the different services of the N5200PRO for the 
users on your network. You can find out more about each of these services by
