System Administration

 

•Basic Settings: Enter the name of the NAS. The NAS name supports maximum 14 characters and can be a combination of letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and dash (-), Space ( ), period (.), or pure numbers are not allowed. Enter a port number for system management. The default port is 8080. The services which use this port include: System Management, Photo Station, Music Station, File Station and Download Station. If you are not sure about this setting, use the default port number.
•Enable Secure Connection (HTTPS): Allows users to connect to the NAS by HTTPS. Enable secure connection (HTTPS) and enter the port number. If the option "Force secure connection (HTTPS) only" is enabled, users can only connect to the web administration page by HTTPS.
•Force Secure Connection (HTTPS): After enabling this option, you can only connect and log into the NAS using HTTPS.
•Disable and hide the home/multimedia features such as Photo Station, Music Station, Surveillance Station, Download Station, iTunes server, and DLNA media server: Multimedia features, including Photo Station, Music Station, Video Station (both 2.0 and 1.0.5), Surveillance Station, Download Station, DJ Station, iTunes server, Media Library and DLNA media server, may be hidden or disabled by default on the following NAS models: x70U, x79 Pro, x79U, TS-x51,TS-x31+, TS-x31,TS-269H and HS-210. To enable the multimedia features for those models, uncheck this option.

 

Time

 

•Basic time settings: Adjust the date and time format and time zone according to the location of the NAS. If the settings are incorrect, the following problems may occur:
oWhen using a web browser to connect to the NAS or save a file, the displayed time of the action will be incorrect.
oThe time of event logs will be inconsistent with the actual time when an action occurs.
oAll scheduled jobs will be run at an incorrect time.
•Manual Setting: Select this option to manually set the time of the NAS.
•Synchronize with an Internet time server automatically: Enable this option to automatically synchronize the date and time of the NAS with an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server. Enter the IP address/domain name of the NTP server (for example: time.nist.gov, time.windows.com) then enter the time interval for synchronization. This option can only be used when the NAS is connected to the Internet.
•Set the server time the same as your computer time: To synchronize the time of the NAS with your computer's time, click "Update" next to this option.

 

Note: First time synchronization may take several minutes to complete.

 

Daylight Saving Time

 

If your region uses daylight saving time (DST), enable "Adjust system clock automatically for daylight saving time" and click "Apply". The latest DST schedule of the time zone specified in the "Time" section will be shown. The system time will be adjusted automatically according to the DST. Note that if your region does not adopt DST, the options on this page will not be available. To manually enter the DST table, select the option "Enable customized daylight saving time table". Click "Add Daylight Saving Time Data", enter the daylight saving time schedule, and click "Apply" to save the settings.

 

Codepage

 

Select the language the NAS uses to display files and directories.

 

Note: All of the files and directories on the NAS use Unicode encoding. If your FTP clients or PC OS does not support Unicode, select the language which is the same as the OS language in order to properly view files and directories on the NAS.
