About Windows Active Directory
After successfully adding your NAS to your AD domain, you can then configure access rights using
the Domain Users, Domain Groups and Shared Folders settings found in the Access Control system
app (see section 3.4 Access Control). AD users can then use their own AD accounts to log in and
access the NAS.

Mac OS X
After enabling Mac OS X file service, you can access your NAS via any Mac OS X operating system
(i.e., Mac OS X v10.7). This file transfer protocol is called AFP (Apple Filing Protocol). You can also
use Time Machine to back up data to your NAS.
Apple Filing Protocol (AFP): This is the protocol used when transferring files between Mac OS X
and local area networks. Go to the Finder and click “Go” in the Finder menu, then select “Connect
to Server.” This will bring up the Connect to Server dialog box. Here you can enter the IP address
that you want to connect to.
For example: afp://192.168.1.168
Bonjour Service Name: Your NAS will be identified by this name in the Finder.
