Introduction

The D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure shares your documents, photos, music, and videos across
the network and on the Internet (via FTP server) so family members, friends, or employees can access them. This
enclosure, which can hold two 3.5" SATA hard drives of any capacity , creates a central network point for backing up
1
valuable files. The built-in RAID 1 mirroring technology protects these files from drive failure. Other options such as
2
Standard, JBOD, and RAID 0 are also available.
The DNS-323 shares files over the Internet via the built-in FTP server . Users and groups can be created and assigned
3
to folders with either read or read/write permissions. Quotas can be set per user or group to restrict space usage.
In addition, the DNS-323 can be used to stream photos, music, and videos to UPnP AV compatible network media
players .

The included CD contains D-Link's Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to locate the DNS-323 on the network
and map drives to your computer. Backup software is also included on the CD. This software allows you to backup
your files from a computer to the DNS-323 manually, by a schedule, or in real-time. Real-time backups are a great way
to safeguard against unfortunate accidents that may result in the loss of important files.
Combining ease of use with practical and high performance features, the DNS-323 is an organized solution for any
network. Free up drive space on computers and centralize data on your network with the DNS-323 2-Bay Network
Storage Enclosure!
