Section 1 - Product Overview
The D-Link ShareCenter™ 2Go DNS-213 1-Bay Portable Network/USB Storage with 2.5” SATA Hard Drive enables
you to share your documents, photos, music and videos across the network and over the Internet (via FTP server) so
that family members, friends or employees can access them at anytime. This device is equipped with a 2.5” SATA
hard drive; it creates a central network point for backing up valuable les. The ShareCenter™ 2Go also supports the
DAS function which can be powered by PC/NB through a USB port allowing the ShareCenter™ 2Go to be used as a
2.5” external USB hard disk.
The ShareCenter™ 2Go shares les over the Internet via the built-in FTP server. Users and groups can be created and
assigned to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an ofce environment with employeespecic sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children will only have access to age appropriate
material. The ShareCenter™ 2Go will be available to any computer (PC, or Linux-based) on your network, without the
need to install any software on the computer.
In addition, the ShareCenter™ 2Go can be used to stream photos, music, and videos to UPnP AV compatible network
media players (such as those found in D-Link’s MediaLounge product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows
you to turn off a computer that would normally be needed for the same function.
The included CD contains D-Link’s Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to locate the ShareCenter™ 2Go on
the network and map drives to your computer. Backup software is also included on the CD. This software allows you
to backup your les from a computer to the ShareCenter™ 2Go 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 les.
Combining ease of use with practical, high performance features, the ShareCenter™ 2Go DNS-213 is an organized
solution for any network. Free up disk space on computers and centralize data on your network with the ShareCenter™
2Go.
Note: When rst powered on, during the initial boot sequence, the ShareCenter™ 2Go will wait to be assigned an IP address
via DHCP. If it does not receive a DHCP assigned IP address, by default it will have an Auto IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx

Oplocks and Net Archives
Add a Network Share
Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented in
the 32-Bit Windows family of operating system environments. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a
shared logical volume to its clients. These guarantees inform the Client that a le’s content will not be allowed
to be changed by the server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be notied before the change is
allowed to proceed.
Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network le sharing however when
using le-based database applications it is recommended to set the share oplocks to No (off).
By default Vista has Oplocks enabled and can not be disabled. If you are having network performance issues
with applications sharing les from the ShareCenter™ 2Go you may try to improve performance by setting
Oplocks to No (off).
Map archive, When enabled, the le attribute--”Archive” will be copied as the le is being stored on the

If you are behind a router, you will need to forward the FTP port from the router to the ShareCenter™ 2Go. Additional
ltering and rewall settings may need to be modied on your router to allow FTP Access to the ShareCenter™ 2Go
from the Internet. Once the port has been forwarded on the router, users from the Internet will access the FTP server
through the WAN IP address of the router.
If you are using a D-Link router, such as the WBR-2310 used in the example below, your port forwarding rule should
be similar to the following:
Name
IP Address
Public Port
Private Port
Trafc Type
Type a name for the ShareCenter™ 2Go FTP server
rule.
Enter the IP address of the ShareCenter™ 2Go.
Enter the public FTP port. By default, the port is 21.
Enter the private FTP port. By default, the port is 21.
Set the trafc type to TCP.
If you are using an FTP port other than 21, the users accessing the FTP server using an FTP client will have
to specify the non-standard port, and users who are using a browser will have to specify the port in the URL
(e.g. ftp://ftp.dns213.com:3000, where the FTP port is 3000).
