Changing Share Information

1. Modify the existing name for the Share.

and makes it available to anyone with access to your network, even if this Share is secured. If you do not want media content made available to

3. To view the content of a Share, click the View Content link to open the Content Viewer.
4. Click Apply to save your changes.

Changing Access Permissions

You should enable security
1. Expand Access Permissions to change user permissions to this Share. A security icon
secure Share is first created, Everyone has read and write access to that Share by default, which means that everyone on your network can read, write,
and delete files to and from that Share. When user Everyone has Read and Write permissions to a Share, the Share is not secure and is open to all
users.
2. Check Allow users to change file level security to allow file and folder permissions to be set through other programs, such as Windows Explorer,
independent of the Iomega StorCenter ix2-200. Setting this option allows users to put additional access restrictions on individual files and folders.
3. To limit access to this Share to a specific set of users, click the
groups, you can also limit access for them in this way.
4. In the Access Permissions section, check Read, Write, or both to set access to this Share for each user. To remove a user, leave both Read and Write
unchecked for that user. If you grant Read and Write permissions to Everyone, the list of users is also cleared since all users (Everyone) has access to
this Share. If you have created groups, you can also limit access for them in this way.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.

Enabling NFS Secured Access

1. To enable NFS, first click the switch on from the Protocols page.
2. On the Shares page, select a secure Share and expand the NFS section. You cannot apply a rule to a public Share.
3. Click Add an NFS rule to add a Host Name for the rule. Rules are added to specify the hosts that are allowed to access Shares using NFS. Use this
table to add NFS rules to specify access for hosts. For example, *.cs.foo.com matches all hosts in the domain cs.foo.com. To export a Share to all hosts
on an IP address or local network simultaneously, specify an IP address and netmask pair as address/netmask where the netmask can be in dotted-
decimal format, or as a contiguous mask length. For example, either /255.255.252.0 or /22 will result in identical local networks.
4. When the rule is added, read access is automatically set to the Share. Select Write to allow users to write to that Share. Use
the rule priority for NFS access.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.

Making a Share an Active Folder

1. You can optionally enable Active Folders on a Share to allow you to associate this Share with a specific feature that will happen automatically when files
are copied to the Share. You can only set one Active Folder option per Share.
2. Expand the Active Folder section and check Enable. Select one of the following Active Folder options and follow the link for details on configuring
each:
Email Distribution
