Accessing Share Folder from Mac Clients

NOTE: By default, new Mac OS versions such as 10.4.x or later versions, support SMB protocol.

If Mac OS is older version, such as Mac OS 9, and will use AFP protocol to connect, the AFP protocol must be

enabled in System  Service. Enable alsoMac(AFP) in Storage/Share  Share/Security  Share  Protocol

Setting.

Make sure the account that will be used to login the share folder has permission (already added in Storage/Share

 Share/Security  Share  Privilege).

1. To connect to share folder via SMB protocol, in the Finder, select Connect to Server from the Go

menu. The Connect to Server dialog box will be displayed.

2. In Server Address box, enter the path to the NAS share. Use the format: smb://x.x.x.x/share-

name or smb://NAS-host-name/share-name.

For example: smb://192.168.99.127/share1

NOTE: You can also use the NAS host name instead of IP address, if DNS setting is configured in NAS 

Network  Device Configuration, in Mac OS, and in DNS server.

If you enabled AFPservice and Mac(AFP) Protocol Setting, and wanted to connect to NAS share folder via AFP,

use the format: afp://x.x.x.x/share-name.

For example: afp://192.168.99.127/share1
