Network Access Page

The Network Access settings allow you to assign permissions for users and groups to specific folders

or volumes. By default, all volumes are open to anyone on the local network with read/write access.

Before specific user or group rules can be created, the default rules must be deleted.

Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN

Manager networking protocol implemented in the 32-Bit Windows

family. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a shared

logical volume to its clients. These guarantees inform the Client

that a file’s content will not be allowed to be changed by the

server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be notified

Map Archive:

Recycle Bin:

before the change is allowed to proceed.

Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network file sharing, however when using file-based database

applications it is recommended to set the Oplocks option to No.

By default Vista has Oplocks enabled and cannot be disabled. If you are having network performance issues with applications sharing files

from the DNS-346 you may try to improve performance by setting the Oplocks option to No.

The archive bit (on Windows file systems) is used to keep track of the latest status of a file since the last backup (archived). Enable Map

Archive by selecting Yes from the drop-down menu. This will map the (Windows) archive bit to the Linux (UNIX) owner execute bit, so as to

preserve this part of the file’s attribute under a Linux file system. The Linux (UNIX) file system lacks the concept of an archive bit. It is

recommended to enable this option if you are performing backups on a Windows system or if you are using applications that require the

archive bit. Some backup software will attach this attribute to files that are being stored as backups, and as such, archive bits are used in

incremental backups.

Enable this option to use the Recycle Bin feature.
