Thunderbolt Interface Configuration
The Thunderbolt screen displays port and connection information related to any Thunderbolt interfaces on the NAS.
Thunderbolt to Ethernet (T2E)
Thunderbolt to Ethernet functionality allows the Thunderbolt port to act as an Ethernet interface.
QNAP recommends using Qfinder Pro when configuring Thunderbolt to Ethernet.
Due to Thunderbolt driver issues, T2E connections using Thunderbolt port 2 may have connectivity problems when connecting to Windows. Thunderbolt port 3 connections are unaffected.
Enabling T2E with Qfinder Pro
Qfinder Pro is a utility for Windows, Mac, and Linux that allows you to quickly find and access a QNAP NAS over a LAN.
Qfinder Pro automatically configures the /etc/sysctl.conf settings file on macOS.
