iSCSI C onfiguration
The NAS supports built-in iSCSI service. To use this function, follow the steps below:
1. Install an iSCSI initiator on your computer (Windows PC, Mac, or Linux).
2. Enable iSCSI Target Service on the NAS and create a new iSCSI target.
3. Run the iSCSI initiator and connect to the iSCSI target (NAS).
4. After successful logon, format the iSCSI target (disk volume). You can start to use the disk
volume on the NAS as a virtual drive on your computer.
In between the relationship of your computer and the storage device, your computer is called an
initiator because it initiates the connection to the device, which is called a target.
No te : It is suggested NOT to connect to the same iSCSI target with two different clients (iSCSI
initiators) at the same time, because this may lead to data damage or disk damage.
