Network (Workgroup/Domain)

If you are unfamiliar with Domain/Active Directory networking, then please leave the Network Type selected as Workgroup and Workgroup Name set to Workgroup.

To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or an NT domain, enter the appropriate information into the fields on this page and click Apply.

If using NT Domain or Active Directory, LinkStation must be added as a member computer in the Domain Server.

Setting NT Domain or Active Directory for network type integrates the LinkStation with a server. The LinkStation Pro participates as a member device in the 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. Enter the Domain Name and Domain Controller into the appropriate fields. In an Active Directory environment, check the Active Directory Domain checkbox and fill in the remaining fields. The Authentication Setup fields will be automatically filled out, so no input is needed there. Once you have finished, press Apply.
