System Setting

7.1 Overview

This chapter gives an overview of the various features included in the system setting screens. You can identify your NSA on the network and set the time that the NSA follows for its scheduled tasks/ logs.

7.2What You Can Do

•Use the Server Name screen (Section 7.4 on page 158) to specify the NSA’s server and workgroup names.

•Use the Date/Time screen (Section 7.5 on page 158) to set up date/time and choose a time zone for the NSA.

7.3What You Need to Know

Windows/CIFS

Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems in order to share files across the network.

•CIFS is included by default in Windows operating systems.

•You can use Samba with Linux to use CIFS.

•CIFS transfers use security.

Time Lag

Time lag occurs when the time on the NSA falls behind the time on the time server. This may happen if:

•the time server is no longer reachable

•if the NSA is shut down often (the NSA internal battery keeps time when the NSA is shut down and this may cause possible variance)

•power surges occur.

The NSA gives no warning if time lag occurs. You should resynchronize the time after a power surge or after you have shut down the NSA several times.
