Network (Workgroup/Domain)
If you are unfamiliar with Domain/Active Directory networking,
then leave the Network Type and Workgroup Name set to
Workgroup.
To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or domain,
enter the appropriate information into the elds on this page
and click Apply. Only select NT Domain if you have a Windows
NT Server Domain Controller on your network. Only select
Active Directory if you have an Active Directory server on your
network.
NOTE: If using NT Domain, the LinkStation must be added as
a member computer in the Domain Server.
NT Domain & Active Directory Authentication integrate the
LinkStation Pro with Windows NT Domain and Active Directory Servers. The LinkStation Pro participates as
a member device in the NT Domain and Active Directory networks, allowing the LinkStation to use Users and
Groups that reside on the Domain or Active Directory System. If Active Directory is used, then the LinkStation
will automatically receive update information from the domain controller(s). To congure the LinkStation Pro
on an Active Directory network, you must have the Domain Administrator login credentials. To congure
LinkStation Pro in a Windows NT Domain or Active Directory environment, select the appropriate Network
Type and enter the Domain Name and Domain Controller into the appropriate elds. In an Active Directory
environment, ll out the remaining elds. The Authentication Setup elds will be automatically lled out, so
no input is needed there. Once you have nished, press Apply.
