Q: Can a password be set for a file?

a: Passwords cannot be set. If security is necessary, use

file-compression software to create a password-protected archive.

Q: Can files be encrypted when used with the Home Base

NAS feature?

a: No, files are all saved as they are. This applies to disks formatted

as NTFS, too.

Q: Can compressed disk drives be used?

a: No, compressed drives cannot be shared via Home Base’s

NAS feature.

Q: What protocol is used for sharing?

a: The Windows file-sharing protocol is used. It is commonly referred

to as SMB or CIFS.

Q: What is the password to log in to the FTP server?

a: The user ID is root, and the password is the password you

configured on the web page, if any. By default, there is no

password. In this case, log in by pressing the “Enter” key without

entering a password.

Q: Is it safe to unplug a connected USB device at any time?

a: The device you are unplugging may be in use by another PC

or accessed by picture sharing, etc. Data may be destroyed if

unplugged suddenly. Always follow the “Safe Removal” procedure

to remove devices.

Q: Can I log in to a network domain environment using the

NAS mode?

a: A domain environment cannot be logged in to.

Q: When multiple USB disk drives are connected, can they be set

up to use RAID?

a: A RAID cannot be established using multiple disks attached to

Home Base, but Home Base can access a USB RAID device as a

single disk.
