QNAP

QNE ADRA 1.0.x

Mode Selection

QNE provides two operating modes to address your different business needs. You can choose a mode in myQNAPcloud and switch modes anytime.

Mode

Description

Stand-alone

This mode is useful for managing only the local device. You must log in with local accounts to manage the device. However, you can still remotely access the device using myQNAPcloud service.

Cloud Management

This mode is suitable for organizations with multiple remote devices. Enabling this mode gives administrators access permissions to connected QNAP devices. This allows IT professionals to manage remote devices using AMIZ Cloud, a portal designed for centrally operating, configuring, and monitoring various devices in the cloud.

Organization owners and authorized administrators can either log in with their QNAP IDs or with their local accounts.

Enabling Stand-alone Mode

  1. Log on to QNE.
  2. Open myQNAPcloud.
  3. Under Stand-alone Mode, click Get started using a QNAP ID.

    The Quick Start for Stand-alone Mode wizard opens.

  4. Specify your QNAP ID and password.
  5. Click Sign In.
  6. Specify a device name containing up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

    You may reuse an existing device name. The device currently using this name will be deregistered from myQNAPcloud.

  7. Click Next.
  8. Enable services.

    Service

    Description

    myQNAPcloud Link

    You can configure access controls for myQNAPcloud Link.

    • Private: Only you can find and remotely access your device via myQNAPcloud.

    • Public: Everyone can find your device with your device name and remotely access published services on your device via myQNAPcloud.

    • Custom: Only invited users can find and access your device. If users without permissions try to access your device with a SmartURL, they will not be able to connect to the device.

    Server Mode (DDNS)

    Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) allows you to automatically map a domain name to the dynamic IP address of your device. With this service, users can connect to your device using the following URL without knowing the current IP address: [your_device_name].myqnapcloud.com
  9. Click Apply.

    Stand-alone Mode is enabled.

Enabling Cloud Management Mode with a QNAP ID
