Enable FTP Server

If this option is enabled, users can upload and download files via FTP (file transfer protocol).

Allow anonymous FTP login (“guest” right)

The FTP server prompts for a user name and password when clients attempt to connect. If this option is enabled, users will be able to enter “anonymous” as the user name, and anything as the password. If this option is disabled, users must pro- vide their correct user name and password.

Enable UPnP Support

If enabled, the NAS Device will broadcast its availability. On systems which support UPnP (e.g., Windows Me, XP), an icon for the NAS Device will be automatically generated.

Enable Print Icon

If enabled, the NAS Device places a printer icon for its print server in all print dia- log boxes.

Port Number For HTTP…

This port number is used for Web browser connections to the NAS Device. The default port is 80, as used by Web servers. If this is changed, use a number greater than 1024 (8080 is often used). Also, if the port is not 80, specify the port in the Web browser, in order to connect. To do this, add a “:” and the port number after the address: e.g.,

http://192.168.0.100:8080

This example assumes the Device’s IP address is 192.168.0.100, and the port num- ber is 8080.
