Wake-on-LAN
The NAS server provides two on-board 10/100/1000 or Gigabit Ethernet ports (LAN1 & LAN2). You can configure the Ethernet ports using the following operating modes:
Stand Alone: Each LAN1 & LAN2 is configured with a unique IP address, which is independent to each other.
Fault Tolerance: Uses LAN2 to take over LAN1 if LAN1 fails to connect to the network which is designed to ensure server availability to the network.
Load Balancing: Offers increased network bandwidth by allowing transmission to multiple destination addresses using both LAN1 and LAN2. If the traffic of one of the LAN ports starts to get congested, requests are then forwarded to the other LAN port with more capacity until the traffic of both LAN ports start to get balanced. Note that only the LAN1 Ethernet port receives incoming traffic.
Load Balancing also incorporates Fault Tolerance protection.
Link Aggregation: Combines both LAN1 & LAN2 into a single
channel, appearing to use a single MAC address to provide greater bandwidth. It must be used with a network switch having the Link Aggregation or Trucking function.
Allows administrators to remotely power on your NAS server to perform maintenance task on the server with no need to go to the server physically.

communicates with the clients using its internal user database for authentication and does not require other authentication servers to be present in the network.
NAS server becomes a member of a domain and communicates with the client using the user database stored in an authentication server which must be present in the network. Optionally, you can register the NAS server to the domain. Once registered, the NAS server will be created as a machine account on the domain controller. And it will use Kerberos as the authentication mechanism, which provides better integration into the Windows network environment.
As Kerberos has more tight security policy, NAS, Domain and Client’s date/time are required to have a time difference of not more than 5 minutes.
2. Enter the Workgroup/Domain name. Use FQDN if you want to configure
NAS server in Domain Mode e.g., Microsoft.com
3. Click the Workgroup Mode radio button if you want to configure NAS server in Workgroup Mode.
4. Or, click the Domain Mode radio button if you want to configure NAS server in Domain Mode.

7. Click Apply to save the setting.

4.4 UNIX/Linux settings

NAS server can export shares to UNIX/Linux client via NFS protocol. UNIX/Linux client then can mount the shares and gain access to the content of the shares. UNIX/Linux client uses UNIX user identification, typically consisting of User Identifier (UID) and Group Identifier (GID), for access control. Non-NFS clients do not use UIDs and GIDs for identification. Since NAS server is intended for working in a heterogeneous network, files created by non-NFS client could possess incorrect ownership information and generate inaccurate quota information for UNIX/Linux clients due to the unmatched UID and GID. A mapping is needed to maintain the correct identity of the user using multiple protocols to access NAS server, for example, Windows and UNIX/Linux clients. Windows based clients need to map the Windows user name to UID/GID before forwarding a request to retain the correct ownership information for UNIX/Linux clients. By default, the NAS server maps all non-NFS users, including local users and domain users, with the same UID/GID as defined on this page. If the administrator wants to have different UID/GID for different users, he should click the Modify button to modify the user mapping to UID/GID.

Configuring NIS settings
The NIS (network information services), formerly known as Yellow Pages, is a UNIX standard for centralizing the management of UNIX resources. The NAS server supports the retrieval of user accounts and their UID/GID from an NIS server.
If the NIS support is enabled, the NAS server can auto-map NIS users with local/domain users. It matches user names and assigns the UID/GID of the matched NIS users to local/domain users. The user auto-mapping function provides better and tighter integration between NFS clients and other network operating systems.
The steps of enabling NIS support are as follows:
1. Check the Enable NIS Support checkbox.
2. The NIS domain name is required. Please fill in the correct name in NIS Domain Name field.
3. If you do not know the IP address of the NIS server, please specify Find by broadcast. Otherwise, specify the IP address in the fields.
