Congratulations on the purchase of your new Disk Server. The Disk Server will allow multiple LAN users to
share data stored on the Disk Server. Both Apple Macintosh and Windows users are supported.
Disk Server Features
•
Easy LAN Installation (10/100BaseTX). An 10BaseT/100Base TX auto-sensing LAN connection
eliminates the need to set DIP switches.
•
Supports Windows and Macintosh. Clients can be either Microsoft Windows PCs (Windows 95, 98,
NT4.0), or Apple Macintoshes.
•
Built-in Print Server. LAN users - both Windows and Mac - can share the printer attached to the Disk
Server.
•
No Client Software. Neither file storage nor printer sharing require any software to be installed on
either Windows or Macintosh clients.
•
File Management using OS tools. Once your PC has access to the Disk Server, you can manage
your folders and files using the familiar tools provided by your operating system. For example, Windows
users will see the Disk Server as an additional drive in Windows Explorer and My Computer.
•
DHCP Server Support. A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The requesting devices are called DCHP Clients.
The Disk Server can act as either a DHCP Server OR a DHCP Client.
•
Multi Segment LAN Support. If you have a Router, PCs on other LAN segments can also use the Disk
Server.
•
Easy Setup. A Quickset Windows program is provided to allow speedy configuration of the Disk Server
•
Full Administrator Control. The LAN Administrator can control Disk Server usage by the following
means:
q
Users: Each LAN user has their own password to control access to the Disk Server. The LAN Administrator
can also limit the amount of Disk Storage used by a user.
q
Groups: Users are organized into user Groups. A user can belong to many Groups.
q
Shares: A "Share" is a folder (directory) on the Disk Server which a User Group can access. Only the Disk
Server Administrator can create Shares. (Users can create folders within the Share.)
q
Access Rights: Access to a Share can be "Read-Only" or "Read-Write". The Administrator can also prevent
all User Groups from accessing a Share. To reduce administration effort, access to Shares is set by Group, not
by individual user.
•
Remote Management. The Disk Server can be managed from a workstation anywhere on the LAN,
using a WEB browser.
