Workgroup
A Workgroup means a collection of computers that are under the same network; setting
workgroups allows you to manage network access easily. You can determine the
Workgroup and WINS server IP.
** WINS (Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service)
WINS is a Net BIOS name-to-IP-address mapping service, so it is easy for Windows
users to configure and register their DS-101j Disk Station through TCP/IP with a WINS
server.
AppleTalk Zone
An AppleTalk Zone is a logical grouping of devices in an Apple Network. You can select
the Zone or the DS-101j Disk Station will join the default Zone automatically if an
AppleTalk Zone is configured.
Encoding
Choose the appropriate encoding from the drop-down menu, so even if your PC doesn’t

language.
** If only the local language is used in your working environment, there is no need to
change any code page settings, just load its default. For example, if the local language is
English, and all files or folders are named in English as well, then it is unnecessary to
change any code page settings, just follow its default.
** If it is needed to recognize a non-English local language, it is suggested to select the
local language character encoding.
