4 Managing Your Storage System
The Web-based storage system Manager enables you to perform the following tasks:
• Managing Users – Add, modify, or remove users, or put users into groups.
• Managing Shared Folders – Create shared folders, rename existing shared folders, change
which users can access existing shared folders or their access rights, and delete shared folders
that you no longer want to keep.
• Managing Backups – View which computer disks are backed up, change the password for
recovering a backup, or delete a backup.
• Setting Up e-mail Alerts – Specify whether or not e-mail notifications should be sent when a
problem occurs, and who should receive the notifications.
• Upgrading the Firmware – Upgrade your storage system firmware to the latest version.
• Disconnecting USB Devices – If you’re using optional USB devices, you must disconnect them
using the Manager before you physically unplug them.
• Changing the System Settings – Change the storage system name or time and date settings,
as well as the user name or password for logging in to the Manager.
• Changing the Network Settings – Change the workgroup name, the storage system’s IP
address(es), the gateway or DNS server settings, or the settings that allow the storage system
to act as an FTP server.
• Reconfiguring Your Storage System Disks – Change the proportions of your storage system
that are allocated to shared folders and backups, or change your disk configuration.
• Logging Out of the Manager – Log out of the Manager so that no one else can use your
computer to make changes to the storage system.
• Shutting Down the Storage System – Shut down the storage system using the Manager rather
than pushing the power button on the storage system manually.
