D-Link DNS-346 USER'S MANUAL
The Network Access settings allow you to assign permissions for users and groups to specific folders
or volumes. By default, all volumes are open to anyone on the local network with read/write access.
Before specific user or group rules can be created, the default rules must be deleted.
Folder: To see the detail of this field, see next page.
User & Groups: Select the users and/or groups that you want to assign access
rights to a specific folder to.
Choose whether the user/group should have Read Only or
Read/Write access rights to the folder by clicking the
corresponding ==> button
Click the <== button to remove the access right.
Tick the Allow everybody read and write checkbox to allow all
users and groups read and write access to the new folder.
Oplocks: Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN
Manager networking protocol implemented in the 32-Bit Windows
family. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a shared
logical volume to its clients. These guarantees inform the Client
that a file's content will not be allowed to be changed by the
server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be notified
before the change is allowed to proceed.
Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network file sharing, however when using file-based database
applications it is recommended to set the Oplocks option to No.
By default Vista has Oplocks enabled and cannot be disabled. If you are having network performance issues with applications sharing files
from the DNS-346 you may try to improve performance by setting the Oplocks option to No.
Map Archive: The archive bit (on Windows file systems) is used to keep track of the latest status of a file since the last backup (archived). Enable Map
Archive by selecting Yes from the drop-down menu. This will map the (Windows) archive bit to the Linux (UNIX) owner execute bit, so as to
preserve this part of the file's attribute under a Linux file system. The Linux (UNIX) file system lacks the concept of an archive bit. It is
recommended to enable this option if you are performing backups on a Windows system or if you are using applications that require the
archive bit. Some backup software will attach this attribute to files that are being stored as backups, and as such, archive bits are used in
incremental backups.
Recycle Bin: Enable this option to use the Recycle Bin feature.
