BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 42
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Settings
Note: Only people familiar with SSL should try adding SSL support to the BlackArmor NAS 110
server.
SSL (also known as Transport Layer Security) is a type of encryption used to protect data
being sent over a network or the Internet. SSL uses a system of keys, like secret passwords,
to send and receive files securely. See “Web Access Protocol Settings” on page 42 for more
information.
You add SSL support to your BlackArmor NAS 110 server by entering an SSL certificate and
key pair.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Settings
An uninterruptible power supply is a power supply that has a battery in it that maintains power
to a computer or server in the event of a power failure.
A UPS is intended to provide enough power for you to save whatever files you’re working on
and properly power off the computer or server; it’s not meant to keep any system running for
the duration of a power failure.
You can connect your BlackArmor NAS 110 server to a UPS and customize the UPS settings
in BlackArmor Manager. You can specify when you want the UPS to power off the
BlackArmor NAS 110 server if you are not present at the time. You can choose to have the
server shut down when:
• The battery life of the UPS reaches 15% of full power or the battery has five minutes of
life left, or less.
Or,
• A specified amount of time has passed since the power failure began. (You can specify
the amount of time.)
Web Access Protocol Settings
By default, your BlackArmor NAS 110 server is set to the HTTP Web access protocol. HTTP
stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is the most common way that data and files are
stored on the Internet.
You can set your BlackArmor NAS 110 server to use HTTPS (HTTP over Secure Socket
Layer) if you have set SSL on the server. (See “Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Settings” on
page 42.)
Workgroup and Domain Settings
By default, your BlackArmor NAS 110 server is set as a workgroup. A workgroup is a number
of computers on a network that share resources. You can add any computer to the server’s
workgroup, or you can add the server to an existing workgroup.
