Sharing Files

Sharing Overview

Your px12-450r Network Storage is set up for storing, retrieving, and accessing files among users, client
computers, and applications.
File sharing is accomplished by creating Shares; setting up security, which includes creating
users; setting up media services; and configuring Active Folders.

Interfaces for Sharing

Your px12-450r has three separate interfaces for file sharing:
px12-450r Management Console
●
You manage the creation of Shares through the px12-450r Management Console.
LenovoEMC Storage Manager
●
Optionally installed on your local computer, LenovoEMC Storage Manager discovers any
LifeLine-based network storage devices on your subnet, maps device Shares to computers, and
provides local access to your content. It provides access to Shares through your computer's file
management program, such as Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, allowing you to drag and drop
many files between your computer and your px12-450r device. Installing LenovoEMC Storage
Manager is optional.
Home Page
●
The Home page serves as a web-accessible interface to your px12-450r device. The Home page
content is configured using the px12-450r Management Console. The Home page displays any
unsecured Shares. It can also display secured Shares accessible only to users who log in to the
px12-450r device. You can access the Home page of your px12-450r device by entering the
device name or IP address directly in your browser. If security is enabled and you are an
administrator user, you can access the px12-450r Management Console from the Home page by
