This is the workgroup on your local area network that your NAS belongs to.
WINS Server:
Microsoft Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) is a NetBIOS name-to-IP-address mapping
service. Window users will locate the system more easily on TCP/IP networks if the system has
been configured to register with a WINS server.
Max/Min SMB protocol:
Sets highest and lowest SMB levels.
SMB 3: SMB 3 has been supported since Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. It is the
enhanced version of SMB 2.
SMB 2: SMB (Server Message Block) 2 has been supported since Windows Vista and is the
enhanced version of SMB. SMB 2 adds the ability to compound multiple SMB actions into a
single request to reduce the number of network packets and enhance performance.

After enabling this option, your NAS will, from your local area network, collect the names of all
other computers in its workgroup.
Reminder: Enabling this feature may prevent your hard disk(s) from going into hibernation.
Allow only NTLMv2 authentication:
NTLMv2 stands for NT LAN Manager version 2. When this option is enabled, login to the shared
folders by Microsoft Networking will only be allowed using NTLMv2 authentication. If the option
is disabled, NTLM (NT LAN Manager) will be used by default and NTLMv2 can be negotiated by
the client. The default setting is disabled.
Enable Samba VFS modules to enhance macOS compatibility:
This option enables the catia, fruit and streams_xattr modules on Samba. These modules
increase compatibility for macOS Finder on Samba for features that include but are not limited
to special characters and metadata. If you are experiencing difficulty accessing SMB volumes
with macOS with certain apps, enabling this option may resolve these issues.
Disable Opportunistic Locking:
For networks that require multiple users concurrently accessing the same file such as database, it

simultaneously, such mechanism should be implemented in the document processing software
(for example, Microsoft Office programs).
