NFS and SMB/CIFS
Use the Services > NFS & SMB/CIFS page if you want to save configuration and logging data onto
a remote NFS server, or export configurations by means of an exported CIFS share.
Mounting an NFS shared directory on a remote network server onto a local EMG directory enables
the EMG to store device port logging data on that network server. This configuration avoids
possible limitations in the amount of disk space on the EMG unit available for the logging file(s).
You may also save EMG configurations on the network server.
Similarly, use SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System), Microsoft's file-
sharing protocol, to export a directory on the EMG as an SMB/CIFS share. The EMG unit exports
a single read-write CIFS share called "public," with a subdirectory called config, which contains
saved configurations and is read-write.
The share allows users to access the contents of the directory or map the directory onto a
Windows computer. Users can also access the device port local buffers from the CIFS share.
To configure NFS and SMB/CIFS:
1. Click the Services tab and select the NFS/CIFS option. The following page displays:
