Advanced Settings
Network (Workgroup/Domain)
If you are unfamiliar with Domain/Active Directory networking, then leave the Network Type and Workgroup Name set to Workgroup.
To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or domain, enter the appropriate information into the fields on this page and click Apply. Only select NT Domain if you have a Windows NT Server Domain Controller on your network. Only select Active Directory if you have an Active Directory server on your network.
NOTE: If using NT Domain, the LinkStation must be added as a member computer in the Domain Server.
NT Domain & Active Directory Authentication integrate the
LinkStation Pro with Windows NT Domain and Active Directory Servers. The LinkStation Pro participates as a member device in the NT Domain and Active Directory networks, allowing the LinkStation to use Users and Groups that reside on the Domain or Active Directory System. If Active Directory is used, then the LinkStation will automatically receive update information from the domain controller(s). To configure the LinkStation Pro on an Active Directory network, you must have the Domain Administrator login credentials. To configure LinkStation Pro in a Windows NT Domain or Active Directory environment, select the appropriate Network Type and enter the Domain Name and Domain Controller into the appropriate fields. In an Active Directory environment, fill out the remaining fields. The Authentication Setup fields will be automatically filled out, so no input is needed there. Once you have finished, press Apply.
