Section 1 - Product Overview
SAFELY SHARE DIGITAL FILES LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET
The D-Link DNS-320L 2-Bay Network Storage, when used with internal SATA drives
and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or oice network. Remotely accessing iles
through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet,
keep data safe by only giving rights to speciic users or groups. When coniguring the DNS-320L, you can create users and
groups and assign them to folders with either read, read/write or deny permissions.
This is ideal for an oice environment with employee-speciic sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children
will only have access to age appropriate material. The DNS-320L will be accessable from any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux) on
your network, without the need to install any software on the computer.
STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO UPnP AV COMPATIBLE MEDIA PLAYERS
Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-320L for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the beneits of the built-in UPnP
AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players
product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn of a computer that would normally be needed for the
same function.
PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY
The availability of four diferent hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) allows you to choose the coniguration
best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear
fashion for maximum space eiciency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a 'striped' coniguration, which provides the highest
performance when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum
protection. If one drive fails while conigured as RAID 1, the unafected drive continues to function as a single drive until the
failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be re-mirrored, allowing the DNS-320L to return to its full protection.
To further enhance your ShareCenter's capabilities, the DNS-320L supports a proprietary mydlink service, provided to D-Link
customers only, serves as a portal to those users who wish to access their data from any location. Mydlink service supports list,
download, upload or delete iles/folders and can see the status of a ShareCenter from any location via web browser.
