The same is true for Macs needing to be in the same AppleTalk Zone. We suggest you do not change the encoding setting selected automatically by the system. For the system will select the according code page by itself. We’ll explain Workgroup, AppleTalk Zone, and Encoding in detail on the next page.

Synology DS-101j

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 support Unicode, you can still access the device and see all information in the correct 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.
