Changing A Workgroup To A Domain Member; Customizing Dynamic Domain Name System (Dns) Settings; Adding A Printer Manager - Seagate Business Storage 1-Bay NAS Administrator's Manual

Customizing Your Seagate® NAS
Note: UPnP is generally done without authentication; it's possible that someone could use UPnP
to open ports into a network they have already breached.
• NFS (Network File System) lets all users on a network share files that are stored on
different types of computers. You must enable NFS if you have set up a virtual machine
environment with the Seagate NAS as allocated space.

Changing a Workgroup to a Domain Member

By default, your Seagate NAS is set as a workgroup. A workgroup is a number of computers
on a network that share resources.
Alternatively, you can set your Seagate NAS as a domain member. A domain is a group of
computers administered as a single unit from a central location.
When you add the Seagate NAS as a domain member, it is centrally managed by a Windows
domain controller, which provides another level of security when users attempt to access the
server. Users within the domain receive their own unique accounts and must be
authenticated to receive access.

Customizing Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) Settings

Note: Only people familiar with Dynamic DNS should try changing these settings.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a way of maintaining the link between an unchanging domain name
(for example, www.seagate.com) and a constantly changing IP address of a computer that
uses DHCP instead of a static IP address.
A DDNS service keeps track of changing IP addresses and forwards all network traffic for
your domain name to whatever the current IP address is. You need to have a DNS service
provider to customize this setting.

Adding a Printer Manager

You can make a USB printer available on your local network by connecting it to your Seagate
NAS. When you add a printer manager, you need to select a spooler destination.
When you send a job to your printer, it goes into a queue, and it is the spooler service that
actually sends the queued jobs to the printer.
Adding Additional Security to Your Seagate NAS
Add an SSL certificate and key to your Seagate NAS and reset the volume encryption key. To
add a certificate and key or reset the volume encryption key, log in to the NAS Manager and
go to System > Advanced Settings.
