Set Up Discovery Services
Discovery services let a computer know about services that other computers and servers are
making available for use. Your ReadyNAS system can use discovery services to let
computers know about such services as multimedia files and printers. The discovery services
are turned on by default, but you can turn them off if you need extra security.
Your ReadyNAS system supports two discovery services:
•
Bonjour is included in Mac OS X. In other operating systems, it is used by some
applications such as iTunes.
•
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is used by many devices to find multimedia files.
To enable or disable discovery services:
1.
From the FrontView main menu, select
Services > Discovery Services
.
2.
Manage the discovery services, as follows:
•
To enable Bonjour, select the

these check boxes to determine what features Bonjour advertises.
