CHAPTER 4 System Setting 4.1 Overview This chapter gives an overview of the various features included in the system setting screens. 4.1.1 What You Can Do in the System Setting Screens • Use the Server Name screen (Section 4.2 on page 106) to specify the NSA's server and workgroup names. • Use the Date/Time screen (Section 4.3 on page 107) to set up date/time and choose a time zone for the NSA. 4.1.2 What You Need to Know About System Settings Windows/CIFS Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems in order to share files across the network. • CIFS is included by default in Windows and Mac OSX operating systems. • You can use Samba with Linux to use CIFS. • CIFS transfers use security. Time Lag Time lag occurs when the time on the NSA falls behind the time on the time server. This may happen if: • the time server is no longer reachable • if the NSA is shut down often (the NSA internal battery keeps time when the NSA is shut down and this may cause possible variance) • power surges occur. The NSA gives no warning if time lag occurs. You should resynchronize the time after a power surge or after you have shut down the NSA several times. NSA-220 Plus User's Guide 105
