WINS
The WINS option allows you to specify the IP address of the WINS (Windows Internet Naming
Service) server. A WINS server is typically a Windows server on the network that will allow the
ioSafe R4 or other devices on the network to be (Windows) browsed from other subnets.
If you do not have an existing WINS server, you can designate the ioSafe R4 to be one. Simply
select the
Become a WINS server
checkbox and configure your Windows PC to specify the ioSafe
R4 IP address as the WINS server. This can be useful if you wish to browse by hostname across
multiple subnets, i.e. over VPN.
