Personal Cloud: Accessing Your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud From Anywhere in the World

Configuring Your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud

As a LenovoEMC Personal Cloud administrator, you can manage various settings on your Personal Cloud to ensure that it functions as efficiently as possible. Settings include specifying an email address when sending invitations. When data is traveling through the Personal Cloud, you can control the security of that information by specifying a Secure Communication level. Note that data stored on your ix4-300d through the Personal Cloud is not encrypted, and using encryption can slow down communications.

Enabling Internet Access to the ix4-300d

You can grant internet users, including LenovoEMC Link users, secure access to the web interface and unrestricted access to media content on your ix4-300d. LenovoEMC Link is an application that runs on mobile devices, and allows access to content on your ix4-300d. Before enabling secure access, you must first enable security on your ix4-300d and create users. After enabling secure access, any internet users can access your ix4-300d, and view any unsecured content. Secure content is restricted to internet users who have valid usernames and passwords for the ix4-300d. When you enable unrestricted media content access, your media files become available to all internet users.

Changing Personal Cloud Settings

1.In the Configure section of the Personal Cloud page, click Settings.

2.In the Personal Cloud Settings dialog box, configure the following:

●Administration Email Address — This is the sender email address used on the email invitations.

●Port Number — Your router forwards this specific port for your Personal Cloud. This value is automatically filled in, and you do not have to change it, unless you have more than one Personal Cloud on your network. Refer to Configuring Router Port Forwarding for Personal Cloud for more information.

●Secure Communication — This setting controls the security of information traveling through the Personal Cloud.

You can also specify a Secure Communication level setting with LenovoEMC Storage Manager. The Secure Communication setting for the ix4300d Management Console sets the minimum value. You cannot specify a setting lower than this value using LenovoEMC Storage Manager. For information on using LenovoEMC Storage Manager, refer to its online help.

●Enable unrestricted access to media content— This setting makes all media files in media- enabled Shares available to anyone on the internet accessing your ix4-300d, even if those media files are in secured Shares. For more information on making a Share media-enabled, refer to changing Share information.

3.Click Apply to save your changes.
