CHAPTER 9
Control Panel: System
9.1 Overview
This chapter gives an overview of the various features included in the system screens.
9.2 What You Can Do
• Use the Server Name screen (Section 9.4 on page 148) to specify the NAS’s server and workgroup
names.
• Use the Date/Time screen (Section 9.5 on page 149) to set up date/time and choose a time zone for
the NAS.
• Use the FW Upgrade screen (Section 9.6 on page 151) to upgrade the NAS firmware.
• Use the SSL screen (Section 9.7 on page 153) to configure the NAS’s SSL certificate.
9.3 What You Need to Know
Windows/CIFS
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems in order
to share files across the network.
• CIFS is included by default in Windows operating systems.
• You can use Samba with Linux to use CIFS.
• CIFS transfers use security.
Time Lag
Time lag occurs when the time on the NAS falls behind the time on the time server. This may happen if:
• the time server is no longer reachable
• the NAS is shut down often (the NAS internal battery keeps time when the NAS is shut down and this
may cause possible variance)
• power surges occur.
The NAS gives no warning if time lag occurs. You should resynchronize the time after a power surge or
after you have shut down the NAS several times.
