Basic Configuration Mode
To configure WFS Acceleration in Basic configuration mode, use the Signed SMB Setup tab to
join the domain, add file servers on the local and remote locations, and add domain records.
When initially configuring WFS Acceleration, always configure the Central site first (the site
where the file servers are physically located).
Note Basic mode is the preferred way to configure WFS Acceleration, only use Advanced mode
if you need to specifically define server or share names.
