58 Iomega® Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition How to Manage Your Iomega Personal Cloud As an Iomega Personal Cloud administrator, you can manage various settings on your Iomega Personal Cloud that ensure that it functions as efficiently as possible. Settings include specifying an email address when sending invitations. You also enter a port number for your router to forward a specific port for your Personal Cloud. Most routers refer to this as port forwarding or application access, and it is recommended that you refer to your router's documentation to learn how to set these values. When you set up port forwarding, you are allowing data to travel through your Personal Cloud between your Home Media Network Hard Drive and member computers. When data is traveling through the Personal Cloud, you can control the security of that information by specifying a Secure Communication level. Data within the Personal Cloud is not encrypted and using encryption can slow down the speed of communication over a network. You can also specify a Secure Communication level setting with the Iomega Storage Manager. The Secure Communication setting for the Home Media Network Hard Drive sets the minimum value. You cannot specify a setting lower than this value using the Iomega Storage Manager. For information on using the Iomega Storage Manager, refer to its online help. At some point during the use of your Personal Cloud, you may decide to disable your Personal Cloud if you will be away from your Home Media Network Hard Drive for an extended period of time, such as on a vacation. To completely eliminate your Personal Cloud on your Home Media Network Hard Drive, you can delete it. Your Personal Cloud Configuration Settings In the Configuration section of the Iomega Personal Cloud page, click Settings. In the Personal Cloud Settings dialog box, configure the following: Click My Personal Cloud. Enter the sender email address you want used on the email invitations. Enter a port number for your router to forward a specific port for your Personal Cloud. This value is automatically filled in, and you do not have to change it. Choose a setting for Secure Communication. Click Apply to save your changes. Disabling or Deleting Your Personal Cloud When you disable your Personal Cloud, you are eliminating access to your Personal Cloud without deleting the account information you created when you set up the Personal Cloud. If at another time, you want to reenable your Personal Cloud, you can do so without having to reenter all the account information. To completely stop the Personal Cloud and eliminate any account information with it, you delete it. If you ever wanted to recreate the Personal Cloud, you would have to start the creation process again and re-invite all the members. When you delete a Personal Cloud, you lose your ownership of its name. To disable a Personal Cloud, click Disable. To delete a Personal Cloud, click Settings and then click Delete Cloud in the Personal Cloud Settings dialog box.
