Save Confi guration
After you have completely confi gured all of the NAS drive's settings, you may want to save the
full confi guration for future reference. To do this enter the Save Confi guration screen by selecting
Advanced / Maintenance / Save Confi guration, and then press the Save button. This action will
save a confi guration fi le (named "confi g.tar") to your specifi ed location.
Restore Confi guration
After saving a confi guration fi le as described above, you can later retrieve that fi le to restore all
device settings in a single step. Enter this screen by selecting Advanced / Maintenance / Restore
Confi guration, and then browse to the saved confi guration fi le and press the Restore button.

Factory Reset

You can return all of the NAS drive's settings to their factory default state by selecting Advanced /
Maintenance / Factory Reset, and pressing the Factory Reset button on this screen.
As described earlier, an alternate way to reset the device to factory settings is to press and hold
in the Reset button for more than 5 seconds.

Install New Service

The software for most network services is included in the fi rmware of the NAS controller. This means
that the application programs are saved in the controller's internal Flash memory. However, some
network services and functions can be installed from your PC or from the supplied CD-ROM. This
method allows for features to be added in the future, and also allows for a very large application
to run from a protected partition of the NAS hard drive even when there is not suffi cient space in
the internal Flash memory.
One example is the TorrentFlux application, which is an implementation of the BitTorrent protocol.
Verbatim has installed the TorrentFlux application onto the hard drive at the factory, so you can
fi nd this protocol listed under Advanced / Network Service / TorrentFlux when you power up
the NAS drive for the fi rst time. However, if you later decide to uninstall this application, or if
you reformat your or hard drive, then you will need to re-install the application again from the
included CD-ROM should you want to use TorrentFlux in the future.
