Use the disk quota feature to stop one user(s) from using up all disk
capacity by setting a limit on how much storage space he/she may
use.
Configure a password for an individual User to restrict access to the
NSA. Non-admin users can change their own passwords by
accessing the Web Configurator. The Change Password screen
appears when a username other than "admin" is entered.
The NSA can create encrypted volumes so an attacker who removes
the physical drive still cannot read the data.
The Access Control List (ACL) defines user read/write permissions for
specific files and/or folders.
The NSA can keep detailed records of all user access to files and
folders.
For Windows or Mac OSX users (using the Common Internet File
System (CIFS) protocol for remote file access) you can configure
Workgroup mode requiring users to log in with a user name and
password. These user and group accounts are maintained on the
NSA. For a large number of CIFS users where accounts are stored on
an external server, you can use Domain security mode (Primary
Domain Controller)
Data can be shared among all Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX users
that have FTP client software or CIFS file sharing support (such as
Samba for Linux and UNIX users).
LAN2 can backup LAN1. If LAN1 loses its connection, LAN2 takes
over LAN1's IP address and traffic.
The NSA can distribute the traffic load across LAN1 and LAN2.
Access the NSA using a regular web connection (HTTP) or an
encrypted web connection (HTTPS) using secure socket layer (SSL).
The NSA can generate certificates and certificate requests.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the NSA to
obtain an IP address and subnet mask at start-up from a centralized
DHCP server. Alternatively, you can give the NSA a static IP address
and subnet mask.
The embedded Web Configurator is an platform-independent web-
based utility that allows you to easily access the NSA's management
settings.
Upload new firmware to the NSA using the Web Configurator. You
can also back up and restore the NSA configuration file containing all
its settings to/from your computer.
Use the NDU from a Windows computer to find NSA(s) in your
network, access the NSA login page, change its IP address
configuration or map to a Windows network drive.
Genie Backup Manager is a tool for Windows users to create (and
schedule) backups of data stored on their Windows computer to an
NSA.
The NSA can use the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and
Reporting Technology) monitoring system to detect and report on
hard drive reliability indicators to help anticipate hard drive failures.
