There are links to several different administration sections from this page. Many of these pages are self-explanitory. It is possible to install online help for the NAS server.

System Settings
General system settings (name, time/date, etc) can be controlled from this section. This section also is used to enable and disable the system security. The default Master Security setting is No. Leaving this default will allow all users access to all volumes.

To restrict access to certain volumes, change the Master Security setting to Yes. It is now possible to create up to 1000 individual users and/or up to 125 groups, using the System Administration utility.

Network Configurations

This page is used to setup and maintain RAID groups. There are five links on this page: Storage Wizard, Devices, RAID Groups, Shares and User Quotas.
The Storage Wizard can be used to guide you through the steps of creating a RAID.
The Devices page lists information about each storage device. The device name is a link to more information about the device.
The RAID Groups page allows for the creation and maintenance of a RAID.
The Share Configuration page creates, deletes and maintains network shares.
User Quotas limit the amount of storage space a user has on a RAID.
