service for the ND33000 in external network. Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP address of secondary DNS server that provides DNS service for the ND33000 in external network. Note: 1. Please contact your ISP or network administrator for the IP address of primary and secondary DNS servers. When the ND33000 plays the role as a terminal and needs to perform independent connection, e.g. BT download, you must enter at least one DNS server IP for proper URL connection. Otherwise, the function may not work properly. 2. If you select to obtain IP address via DHCP, there is no need to configure the primary and secondary DNS servers. You can enter "0.0.0.0" in the settings. Enable DHCP Server If no DHCP is available in the LAN where the ND33000 locates, you can enable this function to enable the ND33000 as a DHCP server and allocate dynamic IP address to DHCP clients in LAN. You can set the range of IP addresses allocated by DHCP server and the lease time. Lease time refers to time that IP address is leased to the clients by DHCP server. When the time expires, the client has to acquire an IP address again. For example, to establish a DLNA network, and share the multimedia files on the ND33000 to DLNA DMP via UPnP while there is no NAT gateway that supports DHCP server, you can enable DHCP server of the ND33000. The ND33000 will allocate dynamic IP address to DMP or other clients automatically and set up a local network. Note: If there is an existing DHCP server in your LAN, do not enable this function. Otherwise, there will be IP address allocation and network access errors. - 47 -

"Jumbo Frames" refer to Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. It is designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput and reduce the CPU utilization of large file transfers by enabling more efficient larger payloads per packet. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can transmit. The ND33000 uses standard Ethernet frames: 1500 bytes by default. If your network appliances support Jumbo Frame setting, select the appropriate MTU value for your network environment. The ND33000 supports 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes for MTU. Note: Jumbo Frame setting is valid in Gigabit network environment only. Besides, all network appliances connected must enable Jumbo Frame and use the same MTU value. - 48 -

To set up a server on the Internet and enable users to access it easily, a fixed and easy- to-remember host name is often required. However, if ISP provides only dynamic IP address, the IP address of the server will change from time to time and is difficult to recall. You can enable DDNS service to solve the problem. After enabling DDNS service of the ND33000, whenever the ND33000 restarts or the IP address is changed, the ND33000 will notify DDNS provider immediately to record the new IP address. When the user tries to connect the ND33000 via the host name, DDNS will transfer the recorded IP address to the user. Enable and configure DDNS of the ND33000: Before using DDNS service, please register a host name from the DDNS provider*. The ND33000 supports the 5 DDNS providers: members.dyndns.org, update.ods.org, members.dhs.org, www.dyns.cx, www.3322.org. Enable Dynamic DNS Service, and select DDNS server.

• Single Disk Volume Each disk is used as a standalone disk. If a disk is damaged, all data will be lost. • RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume RAID 1 (mirroring disk) protects your data by automatically backing up the contents of one drive onto the second drive of a mirrored pair. This protects your data if one of the drives fails. Yet the storing capacity is equal to a single drive, as the second drive is used to automatically back up the first one. RAID 1 is suitable for personal or corporate use to store important data. • RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume RAID 0 (striping disk) combines 2 or more drives into one larger disk. It offers the fastest disk access but does not have any protection of your data if the striped array fails. The disk capacity equals the number of drives in the array times the size of the smallest drive. Striping disk is usually used to maximize your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not for storing important data. • Linear Disk Volume You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. Files are saved on the physical disks sequentially. The overall capacity of linear disk is the sum of all disks. Linear disk is generally used for storing large size of data and is not appropriate for protection of sensitive data. • RAID 5 Disk Volume RAID 5 disk volume is ideal for organizations running databases and other transaction-based applications that require storage efficiency and data protection. To create a RAID 5 disk volume, a minimum of 3 hard disks are required. The total capacity of RAID 5 disk volume = the size of the smallest capacity disk in the array x (no. of hard disk - 1). It's recommended that you use the same brand and same capacity hard drive to establish the most efficient hard drive capacity. Additionally, if your system contains four disk drives, three of them can be used to implement RAID 5 data disks and the fourth drive can be used as a spare disk. When a physical disk failure occurs, the system will automatically rebuild the data with the spare disk. RAID 5 can survive 1 disk failure and system can still operate properly. When a disk - 66 -

protection at this stage. If one more disk fails, all the data will be crashed. Therefore, you must replace a new disk immediately. You can install a new disk after turning off the server or hot swap the new disk when the server is on. The status of the disk volume will become "rebuilding" after installing a new disk. When rebuilding completes, your disk volume resumes to normal status. Note: To install a disk when the server is on, make sure the disk volume is in "degraded" mode. Or wait for two long beeps after the disk crash, then insert the new disk. • RAID 6 Disk Volume RAID 6 disk volume is ideal for important data protection. To create a RAID 6 disk volume, a minimum of 4 hard disks are required. The total capacity of RAID 6 disk volume = the size of the smallest capacity disk in the array x (no. of hard disk-2). It's recommended that you use same brand and same capacity hard drive to establish the most efficient hard drive capacity. RAID 6 can survive 2 drives failure and system can still operate properly. Note: To install a disk when the server is on, make sure the disk volume is in "degraded" mode. Or wait for two long beeps after the disk crash, and then insert the new disk. • RAID 5, RAID 6 Read-only Mode The drive configuration enters read-only mode in the following occasions: - - 2 drives are damaged in RAID 5 3 drives are damaged in RAID 6 The drives in the above configurations are read-only. It is recommended to re-create new drive configuration in such case. - 67 -

You can back up the local drive data to an external storage device. In this page, you can select to execute instant, automatic, or schedule backup methods, and configure the relevant settings. • Backup Now: To back up data to the external storage device immediately. • Schedule Backup: To back up data by schedule. You can select the week day and time to execute the backup. • Auto-backup: To execute the backup automatically once the storage device is connected to the ND33000. Copy Options: Select "Copy" or "Synchronize" for the copy options. When you select "Copy", files are copied from the ND33000 to the external device. By selecting "Synchronize", the data on the internal drives of the ND33000 and the external storage device are synchronized. Any different files on the external device are deleted. Note: In the copying and synchronizing process, if the identical files exist on both sides, the files are not copied. If there are files in the same name but different in size or modified dates on ND33000 and the external device, the files on the external device are overwritten. - 102 -
