Dynamic Domain Name System (DNS) Settings
Note: Only people familiar with Dynamic DNS should try changing these settings.
Dynamic DNS is a way of maintaining the link between an unchanging domain name (like
www.seagate.com) and the constantly changing IP address of a computer that uses DHCP
instead of a static IP address. A DDNS service keeps track of changing IP addresses and
forwards all network traffic for your domain name to whatever the current IP address is.
You can set up Dynamic DNS for your BlackArmor NAS 110 server using BlackArmor
Manager. You must select one of the DNS service providers, then set a domain name for the
server in BlackArmor Manager. See the Web site of the DNS service provider you choose for
more information.
To set up DDNS, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). Dynamic DNS is in the Network
menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help.
File Protocol Settings
Files are shared between computers on a network using standard file service rules. See
“Special Features of Shares” on page 34 for information about the supported protocols.
Network Time Protocol (NTP) Settings
An NTP time server synchronizes the date and time on your BlackArmor NAS 110 server.
NTP runs continually and adjusts the time on your BlackArmor server based on the NTP time
server clock.
You can enable NTP service on your BlackArmor NAS 110 server by entering the Fully
Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or IP address of your NTP time server. To set up the NTP
service, open BlackArmor Manager and then select General Setup from the System menu.
See the online Help for more information.
Power Saving Settings
By default, the disk drive in your BlackArmor NAS 110 server spins constantly whenever the
server is powered on; however, there are times, like evenings, weekends, and holidays, when
your server may not be in use.
You can use the BlackArmor Manager Power Save feature to conserve energy—and lower
your power bill—by setting the disk drive to spin down (stop spinning) and enter a standby
mode when it’s not in use. Enable power save from the System menu’s Advanced page.
