File Server Settings

What is a file server? – A file server offers disk space to a network. The term server used
to name a service offered to the network. As described in point "What is NAS?" (page 4)
the IB-NAS2001 uses 3 different services to provide hard disk space to the network:
Samba (Windows), FTP and NFS. The basic settings regarding these 3 services are done
in the "File Server" item of the "File" submenu.
Control Panel
All three servers could be disabled separately. The "File Server Setting" form is
structured into 4 parts:

By enabling the "Enable" checkmark for each section the corresponding service is
enabled or disabled. By default all services are enabled to grant a rapid start up.
Windows Setting

storage for Windows clients, also MAC OS and Linux computers are able to use network
storage via this service. It has the most complex structure and provides the most
features. Therefore the basic settings are a little more extensive, than those for the other
services.
Windows offers possibility to structure network participants in so called "Workgroups".
Via this identifier – which is just a name – it gives the opportunity to assort logical units
of network participants to give a better overview. This could be set up in the referring
field on the form. Also you can enter a description term which will be displayed when
