93.
•
Contacts
. The ReadyNAS system can send email messages to administrators about
important events, such as when a disk is failing. Enter up to three email addresses for
the people you want to receive these messages, and then enter information for an
email account that can send these messages. The account from which the email
messages are sent does not need to be the same as one of the administrative email
addresses. For more information, see
Send Alerts
on page

•
Ethernet
. Most of this information is standard and does not need to be changed in
most environments. For more information, see
Set Network Settings
on page
101.
•
Global Settings
. Change the name for the ReadyNAS system and its DNS settings.
You might want to change the name to something more descriptive. The DNS settings
are standard and do not need to be changed in most environments. For more
information, see
Set Network Settings
on page
101.
•
Admin Password
. You can change the password you need to enter before you can
use FrontView and choose a security question to answer if you want to recover that
password. If you forget the password, visit a special website, answer the security
question and provide the email address entered here. If you enter both correctly, a
new password is emailed to the email address. For more information, see
Change
and Recover the Admin Password
on page

•
Security Mode
. This screen displays only if you have a ReadyNAS NV+ or 1100. You
can choose how to protect the files on your shares. NETGEAR recommends selecting
user mode, which lets you create a user account for each person who can access the
shares, and then set a user name and password for each. NETGEAR does not
recommend using share mode because it does not work with recent versions of Mac
OS X or Windows. NETGEAR does not recommend domain mode because it
requires a WIndows server or Active Directory server on your local network. For more
information, see
Select a Security Mode
on page

•
Accounts
. Create user accounts for the people who access your ReadyNAS system.
For more information, see
