BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 30
Your Role as a BlackArmor Administrator
BlackArmor administrators have full access to all features and settings on the BlackArmor
NAS 110 server, and to all files stored on it.
Your role as a BlackArmor administrator is to:
• Manage the storage space available on your
BlackArmor NAS 110 server by creating and
modifying volumes and shares
(see page 32).
• Control access to the server by creating and managing
BlackArmor user accounts
(see
page 36).
• Keep your
BlackArmor NAS 110 server running smoothly by monitoring the health of the
server and its disk drive
(see page 39).
• Keep your
BlackArmor NAS 110 server running smoothly by updating its firmware
when
new versions become available (see page 44).
As a
BlackArmor administrator, you can also take advantage of these features to get the most
out of your BlackArmor NAS 110 server:
• Create group accounts to make it faster and easier to manage access to shares. User
groups allow you to modify share access for individuals or entire groups from a single
window (see page 36).
• Protect the files stored on your BlackArmor NAS 110 server by setting up recurring
archive backups of the complete contents of the server (see page 37).
• Set up the
BlackArmor NAS 110
server as a media server, so that BlackArmor users can
stream music directly to a network computer or media player with iTunes installed (see
page 38).
• Conserve energy—and lower your power bill—by setting the disk drive in your
BlackArmor NAS 110 server to spin down (stop spinning) and enter a standby mode when
it’s not in use (see page 41).
• Connect your BlackArmor NAS 110 server to a UPS, which will provide enough power for
you to save whatever files you’re working on and properly power off the server in the
event of a power failure (see page 42).
• (Advanced) Ensure that incoming network traffic reaches its destination by using
BlackArmor Manager to set up Dynamic DNS (see page 41).
The remainder of this chapter describes your BlackArmor NAS 110 server’s default settings,
then describes how to change them and use other server features to build the data storage
solution that fits your needs.
