Advanced Settings

Network (Workgroup/Domain)

If you are unfamiliar with Domain/Active Directory

networking, then please leave the Network Type selected as

Workgroup and Workgroup Name set to Workgroup.
To make your LinkStation a member of a workgroup or

an NT domain, enter the appropriate information into the

fields on this page and click Apply.
If using NT Domain or Active Directory, LinkStation must be

added as a member computer in the Domain Server.
Setting NT Domain or Active Directory for network type

integrates the LinkStation with a server. The LinkStation

Pro participates as a member device in the Domain and

Active Directory networks, allowing the LinkStation to use

Users and Groups that reside on the Domain or Active

Directory System. If Active Directory is used, then the

LinkStation will automatically receive update information

from the domain controller(s). To configure the LinkStation Pro on an Active Directory network, you must

have the Domain Administrator login credentials. Enter the Domain Name and Domain Controller into the

appropriate fields. In an Active Directory environment, check the Active Directory Domain checkbox and fill

in the remaining fields. The Authentication Setup fields will be automatically filled out, so no input is needed

there. Once you have finished, press Apply.
