AppleTalk support is available for use with
legacy Macs. Checking “Apple” by
Shared Folder
Support
turns on AppleTalk, letting you use your
LinkStation with older Macs. Note that AppleTalk
files are limited to 2GB maximum filesize and 32
characters for filenames. If a folder with AppleTalk
on is accessed from a modern OS through SMB, then these limitations will not apply.
Remote Backup Password
will set a password on this share for other LinkStations that want to
use it as a remote backup target. This password will not affect users attempting to access the
share; it only affects remote LinkStations trying to access this share for to store backup files on it.
