Identification

The DataSafe NAS must be given a name. Clients use this name to access the file shares that reside on the unit.

The DataSafe NAS can be configured as a member of one of the following:

nA Microsoft NT 4 domain

nA Microsoft Active Directory domain

nA Workgroup.

If no workgroups exist on the network (for exam- ple, if this is a Unix environment), this option should be selected and any arbitrary name used.

User accounts may also be created locally on the DataSafe NAS; however, using a domain or directory eliminates the need to create local user accounts for every user of the DataSafe NAS.

A good practice after joining a domain is to add one or more domain users to the local administrators group, then login under those user names to administer the DataSafe NAS.

To set the name and domain membership of the DataSafe NAS

1.On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.

2.On the Network Setup page, click Identification.

The Server Appliance Identity page (Figure 4) displays.
