System Settings Part#2

The Security group allows you to specify the IP address or network domain via which connections to the NAS will either be permitted or denied. You can also block an IP for a certain period of time or permanently if the IP fails to login after a specified number of attempts. You can upload or download a secure certificate here.


These options allow you to configure the NAS' hardware functions. The most important ones are HDD Standby, Write Cache, which nets you increased write performance, and the Smart Fan option, which allows you to set the fan to auto-mode or a customized fan profile.


The Power group allows you to restart or shut down the NAS, specify the NAS' behavior after a power recovery, and set a schedule for an automatic system power-on or restart. You can also enable EuP mode here. The NAS will consume less than 1 W in standby mode with EuP enabled, but enabling it will disable Wake on LAN, AC power resumption, and all scheduled power settings.


Notification Center provides you with options for email alerts, informing you of system errors and warnings. You can also configure the SMSC server to send SMS messages to specified phone number(s) or select the instant alerts the NAS will send to designated users once a system event occurs.


This panel allows you to update the NAS' firmware or enable the Live Update option, which will automatically check for available firmware updates.


Backup and restore functions can be tasked through this group of settings. You can also reset to factory defaults here, which will erase all of your data and every settings, so be careful with the option.


All connected external storage disks, USB printers, and UPS devices can be configured through these options.



Take a look at a summary of system and hardware, your network's status, all running system services, and the resource monitor through these options.


Up to 10,000 event logs can be stored on the NAS. These include warnings, errors, and various informative messages. So make sure to check the event log to troubleshoot a problem you come across. You can also check on all connected users here, disconnecting them if you are a mean administrator!
