About 6 Models Described in this Manual
This manual provides introductory information as well as detailed instructions on how to set up and
manage 6 Series in various network environments. The following table shows the differences among the
3 models. All 3 models have a 10/100 Mbit/sec LAN port. However, 601 and 601n has only one USB port,
while 604n v2 have four USB ports. Compared with 3 models have an additional wireless module
(802.11b/g/n). Except for the wireless configuration, most configuration and operations are the same for
601 and 601n/ 604n. Similarly, almost all of the configuration and operations are the same for these
models except that only one USB device can be connected to 601/601n while at most four USB devices
can be connected to 604n. Unless explicitly specified, all instructions in the manual apply to 6 Series.
And USB 3.0 models have a 10-BaseT /100BASE-TX /1000Base-T RJ-45, USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Type-A. However,
611 has only one USB port, while both 612 and 612ac have two USB ports.
To fully benefit from this document, you should be familiar with basic networking principles. The
instructions described in this manual are based on the settings in a new Server. To reload the Factory
