3.4.9. View Network Settings

You can view current network settings and status of FNS-5000B in this section.

3.5. Device Configuration

You can configure SATA disk, USB disk and USB printer settings in this section.

3.5.1. SATA Disk

This page shows the model, size and current status of the disk(s) installed on FNS-5000B. You can format and check disks, and scan bad blocks on the disks. When the SATA disks are formatted, FNS-5000B will create the following default share folders:

9 Public: Network share for file sharing 9 Qdownload: Network share for Download Station 9 Qmultimedia: Network share for Multimedia Station 9 Qusb: Network share for data copy function via USB ports 9 Qweb: Network share for Web Server

You can create the following disk volumes:

• Single Disk Volume Each disk will be used as a standalone disk. However, if a disk is damaged, all data will be lost.

• RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume RAID 1 (mirroring disk) protects your data by automatically backi ng up the contents of one drive onto the second drive of a mirrored pair. This protects your data if one of the drives fails. Unfortunately, the storing capacity is equal to a single drive, as the second drive is used to automatically back up the first. Mirroring Disk is suitable for personal or corporate use to store important data.

• RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume RAID 0 (striping disk) combines 2 or more drives into one larger disk. It offers the fastest disk access but it does not have any protection of your data if the striped array fails. The disk capacity equals the number of drives in the array times the size of the smallest drive. Striping disk is usually used to maximize your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not for storing important data.

• Linear Disk Volume You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. Du ring file saving, the file will be saved on physical disks sequentially but does not have a disk failure file protection function. The overall capacity of linear disk is the sum of all disks. Linear disk is generally used for storing large data and is not appropriate to use for file protection of sensitive data.

3.5.2. USB Disk

FNS-5000B supports USB disks and thumb drives for extended storage. Connect the USB

device to the USB port of FNS-5000B, when the device is successfully detected, the details will be shown on this page.
