6. Managing GoFlex Home Managing GoFlex Home Settings and Preferences • Notifications: Sets the e-mail address(es) to be used for occasional system messages. The e-mail addresses entered in this field receive a system message only if there is a problem with the drive, if the drive is full, or if your Seagate Share Pro subscription is expiring soon. • Network Services: Controls whether or not your GoFlex Home can be accessed from an FTP site. For improved security, disable FTP access unless or until you specifically require it. Enabling FTP means that members of your household can use it to upload and download files to their GoFlex Home folders with FTP. You can limit FTP access to computers on your home network (LAN) only, or enable FTP access from anywhere on the Internet. • LAN Connection: Controls whether or not GoFlex Home connects to your home network using settings it obtains automatically. (Unless you have networking experience, have business-grade network equipment at home, or are experiencing problems when accessing GoFlex Home while you're travelling, you should set Obtain IP Address Automatically to Yes. No other input is required.) If you need to manually set up a LAN connection for GoFlex Home, set Obtain IP Address Automatically to No, then enter all the required information in the fields that appear: • Server IP Address: Sets the static IP address for GoFlex Home. Obtain the static IP address from your ISP (Internet service provider), and use it to replace the dynamic IP address that appears in the box by default. • Server Netmask: Sets the subnet mask, which determines the address range of the subnet, a separate part of your network. Data sent to addresses within the subnet (for example, between your computer and GoFlex Home) are routed within the network. Data sent to addresses outside the subnet (for example, between a remote user and GoFlex Home) are routed to the Internet. Most home networks with less than 255 nodes use netmask.24. • Gateway: Sets the IP address of the device (most likely your router) that routes data from GoFlex Home to the Internet. • Date and Time: Controls the date and time used by GoFlex Home. You can set GoFlex Home to obtain its settings from the Internet using an Internet time server, or you can set GoFlex Home's date and time yourself. If you set Set date and time from the Internet to Yes, select a default NTP (Network Time Protocol) server for best results. • Remote Access: When enabled, allows GoFlex Home to be accessed from anywhere over the Internet. You can use this setting to disable remote access, which is enabled automatically when you set up GoFlex Home. FreeAgent® GoFlex™ Home User Guide (Version 2) 73
