Product.overview - D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320L User Manual

Section 1 - Product Overview
The D-Link ShareCenter™ DNS-320L is a 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage device. When used with internal SATA drives, it enables
you to share documents, files, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone in your home or in the office
network. Remotely accessing files through the internet is also possible using the built-in FTP server, Web File server and the
WebDAV protocol. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the internet, you can keep data safe by only giving rights
to specific users or groups. Users can also access their DNS-320L remotely using the mydlink portal, or using mobile devices
with the mydlink Access-NAS app on a mobile phone or tablet. When configuring the DNS-320L, you can create and assign
users and groups to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an office environment with employee-
specific sensitive data or for the home where you can limit your children to age appropriate material. The DNS-320L will be
available to any computer (PC,Mac, or Linux) on your network, without the need to install any software.
You may back up yoru music, photos, and video collections to teh DNS-320L for safekeeping. Then enjoy the benefits of the
built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players
MediaLounge product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn off a computer that would normally be
needed for the same function.
The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) allows you to choose the configuration
best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear
fashion for maximum space efficiency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a 'striped' configuration, which provides the highest
performance when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum
protection. If one drive fails while configured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive continues to function as a single drive until the
failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be re-mirrored, allowing the DNS-320L to return to its full protection.
To further enhance your ShareCenter's™ capabilities, the DNS-320L supports a proprietary mydlink service, provided to D-Link
customers only, serves as a portal to those users who wish to access their data from any location. Mydlink service supports list,
download, upload or delete files/folders and can see the status of a ShareCenter™ from any location via web browser.
