Synology DS-101j

2.Win/Mac OS

In this page, the setting of Workgroup or AppleTalk Zone allows you to access the DS-101j Disk Station through “My Network Places.” Workgroups and Zones are used to organize networks. A Workgroup is a collection of Windows computers on the same network; a Zone is a logical grouping unit of all devices on an Apple Network.

If you want the DS-101j Disk Station to be browsed through “My Network Places” then it needs to be placed in the same Workgroup as the PC’s on the network. The same is true for Macs needing to be in the same AppleTalk Zone. We suggest you do not change the encoding setting selected automatically by the system. For the system will select the according code page by itself. We’ll explain Workgroup, AppleTalk Zone, and Encoding in detail on the next page.
