Workgroup: The Workgroup is used by Microsoft Windows Network to
organize available network groups within the same network.
Name: The unique Name appears for other network services including
shared libraries on iTunes and other media players. The name can be
used to access your device from a web browser instead of using an IP
address, for ex¬ample, http://powerbay.
By default the device name is "PowerBay".
Description: This fi eld assigns a device description to help identify the
device in the workgroup
If your network is confi gured in an Active Directory make sure the
following conditions are true:
1. Ensure that the Time and Date is synchronized between the
device and the Windows Active Directory server. The device
and Active Directory server will only tolerate a maximum time
difference of 5 minutes.
2. Ensure that you can get the IP address of the 2008 AD server
from the DNS server. The DNS1 and DNS2 settings are the same
as the LAN Setup. Please make sure this is working properly.
To confi gure the PowerBay NAS array to use Active Directory, click
the Active Directory radio button and confi gure the parameters as
described below:
User Name: Input the user name of an account setup on the Active
Directory that requires access to the resources on the device.
Password: Input the password of the chosen Active Directory user
account.
Name: Input a Domain Name Service (DNS) name for the PowerBay
NAS array. If the device connecting to the PowerBay NAS array is a
browser or logon server this will be the name that these services are
advertised by.
Workgroup: Enter your Workgroup name here. The workgroup
name should be the same as the computers on the network. Devices
using the same workgroup will have additional fi le sharing methods
available.
Realm Name: Input the FQDN (Fully Qualifi ed Domain Name) of the
Active Directory Domain in this fi eld. This option specifi es the Kerberos
realm to use.
AD Server Name: Input the name of the Active Directory Server in this
fi eld. When the Windows user attempts to access the device at login
time, the device will connect to the 2008 AD Server and attempt to
authenticate the given user with the given password.
Language Settings - Page
The web based confi guration tool for the PowerBay NAS array is
confi gured at the factory to use English as its user interface language.
The language settings page allows you to select a different user
interface language.
Select Language: To use a different user interface language select an
available option from the pull-down list. Click 'Save' to apply the new
language selection.

The PowerBay NAS array keeps track of data stored by its network
users by managing the data's destination folder (also referred to herein
as a "shared folder" or simply a "share"). Furthermore, the PowerBay
NAS array must keep track of who may read from, and write to, each
folder. It does this by setting up user accounts and groups. A group is a
collection of specifi c user accounts. When you assign access privileges
to a new share you have the option of either making assignments for
individual user accounts, or for an entire group of users at once by
referring to the group's name.
The default factory settings provide for no default user accounts or
default groups. Though there is one default folder (named Volume_1),
this folder has no default access privileges and so will not be accessible
at fi rst. The simplest way to make the Volume_1 folder accessible is to
use the web confi guration tool (Advanced Setup / Shared Folders) to
defi ne the Volume_1 folder privileges as "Allow everybody read and
write".
The Users/Groups menu is used to create and manage user and group
accounts. These are used for user access and read/write privileges for
specifi ed fold¬ers on the network drive (using the Network Access
menu), or to setup FTP access and privileges. When the device is
connected to a Workgroup up to 128 users and 10 groups can be
created. When the device is connected to an Active Directory a
combined total of 10000 users and groups can be displayed. By
default all users have read and write access to all newly created folders,
but access rules can be created in the Network Access menu.
