Product Overview

Introduction

The D-Link ShareCenter® DNS-320 2-Bay Network Storage, when used with internal SATA drives, enables you to share documents, les, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or oce network. Remotely accessing les through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server and Web File server. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specic users or groups. When conguring the ShareCenter®, you can create users and groups and assign them to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an oce environment with employee-specic sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children will only have access to age appropriate material. The ShareCenter® will be available to any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux-based) on your network, without the need to install any software on the computer.

Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the ShareCenter® for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benets of the built-in DLNA Certied™ media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players (such as the D-Link’s Boxee Box). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn o a computer that would normally be needed for the same function.

The availability of four dierent hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1) allows you to choose the conguration best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear fashion for maximum space eciency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a ‘striped’ conguration, 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 congured as RAID 1, the unaected drive continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be re-mirrored, allowing the ShareCenter® to return to its full protection.

1 Hard Drive(s) not included.

2 D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP™ AV media player.

Step 3-1:

This step allows you to assign privileges to this share. Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented in the 32bit Windows family. 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 notied before the change is allowed to proceed. Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network le sharing. However it is recommended to set the share oplocks to No (o) when using le-based database applications. When enabled, the le attribute “Map Archive” will be copied as the le is being stored on the device.

Assign protocol privileges that a user can use to access this share. Options to choose from are FTP and NFS. CIFS and AFP are set as default.

• CIFS is short for Common Internet File System.
