Buffalo LinkStation 210D - NT Domain

Chapter 3 File Sharing
• When the LinkStation joins an Active Directory domain, FTP is disabled. Before using FTP, move the FTP switch
back to the on position.
• Don’t disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to
enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.
NT Domain
If there is an NT domain environment, the LinkStation will use account information from the NT domain server to set
access restrictions for LinkStation’s shared folders. There is no need to perform individual account management for
the LinkStation. If multiple LinkStations are installed on the network, the account information is centrally managed
in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and management.
Note: The LinkStation supports an NT domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and groups.
