a member device in the NT Domain and Active Directory networks, allowing the LinkStation to use Users and
Groups that reside on the Domain or Active Directory System. If Active Directory is used, then the LinkStation
will automatically receive update information from the domain controller(s). To configure the LinkStation Pro
on an Active Directory network, you must have the Domain Administrator login credentials. To configure
LinkStation Pro in a Windows NT Domain or Active Directory environment, select the appropriate Network
Type and enter the Domain Name and Domain Controller into the appropriate fields. In an Active Directory
environment, fill out the remaining fields. The Authentication Setup fields will be automatically filled out, so
no input is needed there. Once you have finished, press Apply.

To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or domain,
