Configuration of Network Interfaces
Page 40
Fail Over (Default) The system supports the configuration of multiple network
interfaces, which enables you to perform Fail Over or Load Balance functions. Fail
over ensures server availability to the network. If the primary port is disconnected
due to a hardware or cable problem, the secondary port will replace its network
identity. If the failed port resumes the network connection, it will also resume the
role as the primary interface.
Load Balance In load balance* mode, the transmission load is distributed among
aggregated network ports.
Page 41
* An intelligent software adaptive agent will repeatedly analyze the traffic flow from the server and
distribute the packets based on the destination address. Load balance can only occur on Layer 3
routing protocols (IP or NCP IPX) . Multicast/Broadcast and non-routing protocols, such a s
NetBEUI and Microsoft IPX, are transmitted over the primary port.
Standalone Standalone settings enable each port to have a unique IP, which allows
users on different network areas to share one FNS-7000B and maintain their
independence from one anothe r i n t h e net work. When using this mode, fail over can not
be used and only LAN 1 can be configured as DHCP server.
Page 42
Network Speed
Network speed settings provide an advanced option for configuring network speed. You
can select auto-negotiation (default), 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. It is
recommended to use the default setting that the server will determine network speed
automatically.

RAID 5 disk volume. Data will be distributed and stored among the disk s. If a disk fails ,
you can replace a new disk with the damaged one, and the system will restore the data
to the new disk. You can also use three disks for RAID 5 and a fourth disk as a backup
disk. If a disk of RAID 5 volume is damaged, the spare disk can replace that damaged
disk, which enhances server stability and efficiency.
Note: When configuring RAID 5 disk volume, at least 3 disks are required.
c. RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume Mirroring Disk protects your data by
ٛ
automatically backing up the content s of one disk onto the second disk of a mirrored pair.
This protects your data if one of the disks fails. However, the storing capacity is equal to
a single disk, as the second disk is used to automatically back up the first one.
d. RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume Striping disk combines two or more disks into
ٛ
one larger disk. It offers the fastest disk access but does not have any protection of your
data if the striped array fails. The disk capacity equals the number of disks in the array
times the size of the smallest disk.
e. Linear Disk Volume You can combine two or more disks into one larger
ٛ
disk. Files will be saved on physical disks sequentially but does not have a disk failure

Note: When configuring disk volume, make sure there are no active users connecting to
FNS-7000B to avoid any potential damage to the disks. You can check all currently
active users in Statistics & Logs—Active Users (refer to Chapter 6.10.1) and inform those
users to logout before configuring disk volume.
6.7 User Management
The files on FNS-7000B can be shared among multiple users. For easier management
and better control of users’ access ri ght, you have to organize users, user groups and
their acce ss right cont r ol.
6.7.1 Users
The system has created the following users by default:
Page 55
n Administrator
By default, administrator has access to system administration and cannot be deleted.
o Guest
This is a built-in user and will not be displayed on User Management page. When
you use a non-registered user name to login, the server will recognize the user as a
guest and will allow limited access. A guest does not belong to any user group.
Anonymous This is a built-in user and will not be displayed on User Management
page. When you connect to the server by FTP service, you can use this name to
login as a guest.
512 users can be created at maximum (including system default users). You can
create a new user according to your needs. The following information is required to
create a new user:
9 User name
The user name must not exceed 32 characters. It is case-insensitive and can
contain double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean except:
" / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < > ` '
9 Password
The password is case-sensitive and can be 16 characters long at maximum. It is
recommended to use a password of at least 6 characters.
You can perform the following settings for users:
6.7.2 User Groups
User group is a collection of users with the same access right to files or folders.
Page 56
FNS-7000B has created the following user groups by default:
Administrators
All members in this group have administration right. You cannot delete this group.
Everyone
All registered users belong to everyone group. You cannot delete this group.
You can manage user groups with the following options:
User groups name must not exceed 256 characters. It is case-insensitive and can
contain double-byte characters, such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, except the
following ones:
" / \ [ ] : ; | = , + * ? < > ` '
To properly manage security, it is very important to manage users and user groups.
You may set the share access parameters of each user or user group accordingly.
Create Users and Assign Users to User Group
The following example demonstrates how to create new users and assign users to a user
group.
ABC Co. has recently recruited two employees Mr. Jones Lee for Administration
Department and Ms. Jane W u for Sales Department. The IT Department therefore
needs to create two user accounts for them to access company data on FNS-7000B.
Page 57
i. To create a user account, go to User Management -Users. Click Create.
iii. Select the user groups the users belong to on the right list, i.e. Mr. Jones Lee for
Administration Dept and Ms. Jane Wu for Sales Dept, and click Add. Then click
Close.
Page 58
Create Private Network Share for User Groups
You can create particular network share for each user group. The procedure is
described as below:
Page 59
1 To create a network share called media accessible by Administration Department
only, please go to “User Management—User Groups” page. Select the user group
Administration Dept and click Create Private Network Share on the ri ght.
2 Enter the network share name media. Select to disk volume that the share will
be created in and specify the path automatically or manually. Enter the comment for the
network share, e.g. media folder for Admin Dept and click Apply.
3. You can see the folder media in Network Share Management page.
4. Enter Access Control. You can see that only Administration Dept has full access rig ht
Page 60
to the folder.
Page 61
6.7.3 Quota
To allocate disk volume efficiently, you can specify the quota that can be used by each
user. When this function is enabled and a user has reached his/her disk quota, he/she
cannot upload data to the server anymore. By default, no limitations are set for users.
You can modify the following two options:
i. Enable quota for all users
ii. Quota size on ea ch disk volume
Please refer to the following example to configure the quota setting of users: The IT
department is planning to set the disk quota of Mr. Jones Lee fromAdministration
Department and Ms. Jane Wu from Sales Department on FNS7000B. The disk quota is
2000MB for Mr. Jones Lee and 4000MB for Ms. Jane Wu.
1. Please go to Quota page in User Management to enable quota for al l users. Enter
the quota size on each disk volume, e.g. 1000MB. The quota for individual user can
be modified later.
2. Select Jones Lee on User page and click Quota Settings on the right.
Page 62
1 Enter the quota size 200MB and click OK.
2 Follow the same steps and enter the quota size 4000MB for Jane Wu and click OK.
The quota setting is successfully appl ied.
6.8 Network Share Management
The primary purpose of network storage is file sharing. In a standard operation
environment, you can create different network shar e folders for various types of files, or
provide different file access rights to users or user groups.
Page 63
There are four options in Network Share Management:
6.8.1 Create
To create a network share, enter the following information:
9 Network share name The share name must not exceed 12 characters and cannot
contain the following characters:

9 Path All data are stored under the assigned path onto the disk volume. You can
select “Specify path automatically” or assign a path manually. The path cannot
exceed 256 characters and cannot contain the characters below:
" . + = /\ : | * ? < > ; [ ] %
9 Comment Enter a brief description for the share folder. The comment cannot exceed
128 characters.
Page 64
6.8.2 Property
To edit the property of an existing network shar e, select a share and click Property.
You can then edit the content of that share.
6.8.3 Access Control
Once the network share is created, you can assign access rights to users or user groups:

Appendix B Configuring AD Authentication
AD environment mixed mode can be supported by FNS-7000B. For example,
qatest.com.tw and sub2.qatest.com.tw are domains controlled by Windows 2003 server,
and sub1.qatest.com.tw domain is controlled by Windows 2000 server.
Please make sure you have enabled the Active Dire ctory Service on the
Windows Server and check the following items:
1 DNS Server setting on FNS-7000B has to be directed to AD server.
2 FNS-7000B and AD server can synchronize only if their time difference is less
than 5 minutes.
3 FNS-7000B and AD server will synchronize each 5 minute. To configure the
settings manually, FNS-7000B has to be set as standalone mode and then added to AD
Page 99
domain.
4 When adding FNS-7000B to AD domain, please login by domain_name\Username.
FNS-7000B local user cannot login AD domain.
5 Inter-network segments can be used.
6 If you are using NT Domain, please select standalone mode when you want to
upgrade the system, then join AD domain.
7 It is suggested to use Windows 2000 Service Pack 4, or Windows 2003 Service
Pack 1.
8 When FNS-7000B is added to AD domain, the authority of “everyone” will not
work, “everyone” is the original account of FNS-7000B, but doesn’t include AD.
Therefore the authority has to be reset .
9 The DNS setting on Windows 2000 server should be added as “Active Directory
DNS”, the server should be rebooted after DNS setting is set.
10 You should use the full domain name on the AD setting of FNS-7000B. For
example, if your FQDN name of AD server is “ad.test.com.tw”, you should use
“test.com.tw” as the ad domain setting on FNS-7000B.
11 The DNS setting on AD server should have the IP of AD server itself.
12 You must change the password of “administrator” after you create “Active
Directory” service on AD server.
13 The DNS server on the AD Server should have two records on it. For example, AD
Server Name: 2003tc.testad.com DNS record on DNS Server 2003tc.testad.com A
192.168.1.100 testad.com A 192.168.1.100 One is “A record” for AD server, and the
other is the domain “A record” for DNS queries.
Adding FNS-7000B to Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Domain
1 Go to TCP/IP Configuration in Network Settings. Enter the IP address of primary
DNS server. You can inquire AD domain via this DNS server.
2 Go to Microsoft Networking of Network Settings. Enable AD Domain Member,
