NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo User Guide Setting Accounts Preferences You can set various account defaults by selecting Preferences option from the pull-down menu. Figure 1-14 Selecting Services for Share Access The Services screen allows you to manage various services for share access. This in effect controls the type of clients you wish to allow access to the ReadyNAS Duo. Four types of services are available: Standard File Protocols, Streaming Services, Discovery Services and Installed AddOns. These different services are explained in the following sections. Standard File Protocols The standard file protocols are common file-sharing services that allow your workstation clients to transfer files to and from the ReadyNAS Duo using built-in file manager-over-network file protocols supported by the client operating system. The available services are: • CIFS (Common Internet File Service). Sometimes referred to as SMB. This protocol is used mainly by Microsoft Windows clients, and sometimes by Mac OS X clients. Under Windows, when you click on My Network Places Network Neighborhood, you are going across CIFS. This service is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. • NFS (Network File Service). NFS is used by Linux and Unix clients. Mac OS 9/X users can access NFS shares as well through console shell access. The ReadyNAS Duo supports NFS v3 over UDP and TCP. • AFP (Apple File Protocol). Mac OS 9 and OS X works best using this protocol as it handles an extensive character set. However, in mixed PC and Mac environments, it is advisable to use CIFS/SMB, unless enhanced character set support is necessary on the Mac.The ReadyNAS Duo supports AFP 3.1.
