5.2.2 DHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual
clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the NSA as
a DHCP client which means it is set to receive an IP address from a DHCP server. The NDU
can help you discover the IP address of the NSA.
Alternatively, configure a static IP address for the NSA.

5.2.3 Windows/CIFS

Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating
systems in order to share files across the network.
CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft
Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web
browsers, to open and share files across the Internet.

5.2.4 FTP

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an Internet file transfer service that operates on the Internet and
over TCP/IP networks. A system running the FTP server accepts commands from a system
running an FTP client. The service allows users to send commands to the server for uploading
and downloading files.
