Configuration of Network Interfaces
9 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.
Page 46
- 46 -
9 Load Balance
In load balance* mode, the transmission load is distributed among
aggregated network ports.
* 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 as NetBEUI and Microsoft IPX, are transmitted over the primary port.
Page 47
- 47 -
9 Standalone
Standalone settings enable each port to have a unique IP, which allows users
on different network areas to share one TS-401T and maintain their
independence from one another in the network. When using this mode, fail
over cannot be used and only LAN 1 can be configured as DHCP server.
Page 48

6.6 Disk Configuration
In the section, you can create, delete, examine and format disk volume, as well
as view disk and volume status of TS-401T.
6.6.1 Create Disk Volume
TS-401T can accommodate four disks at maximum. You can set the disk volume
to the following configurations by clicking on the icons on Create Disk Volume
page:
a. Single Disk Volume
You can create an individual disk volume. In case of disk crash, all data will be lost.
Page 60
- 60 -
b. RAID 5 Disk Volume
Three or more hard disks can be integrated to form RAID 5 disk volume.
Data will be distributed and stored among the disks. 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 contents 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.
Page 61
- 61 -
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 file protection
function. The overall capacity of linear disk is the sum of all disks.

6.7 User Management
The files on TS-401T can be shared among multiple users. For easier
management and better control of users’ access right, you have to organize users,
user groups and their access right control.
6.7.1 Users
The system has created the following users by default:
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.
p 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.
Page 65
- 65 -
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:
Page 66
- 66 -
6.7.2 User Groups
User group is a collection of users with the same access right to files or folders.
TS-401T has created the following user groups by default:
n Administrators
All members in this group have administration right. You cannot delete this
group.
o 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.
Page 67
- 67 -
Create Users and Assign Users to User Group
The following example demonstrates how to create new users and assign users to
a user group.
