NTP Time Server IP Address

The IP address of the NTP (Network Time Protocol)
server, which is used to synchronize system time
automatically over the net. The system time will be
synchronized with the NTP server every 24 hours.

SMTP Server Address

Transfer Protocol) server used in sending and receiving
e-mail.

4.2 TCP/IP Settings

Network Teaming Mode

TCP/IP handles network communications between network nodes that are connected to the

network. It is important to setting up correct TCP/IP setting that for NAS-3410 to function properly.

The NAS-3410 provides two on-board Gigabit Ethernet ports (LAN1 & LAN2). You can configure

the Ethernet ports using the following operating modes:

Stand Alone: Each LAN1 & LAN2 are configured with a unique IP address, which are

independent to each other.

Fault Tolerance: Uses LAN2 to take over for the LAN1 if LAN1 is fail to connect to the network

which designed to ensure server availability to the network.

Load Balancing: Offers increased network bandwidth by allowing transmission to multiple

destination addresses using both LAN1 and LAN2. If the traffic of one of the LAN port starts to get

congested, requests are then forwarded to the other LAN port with more capacity until the traffic of

both LAN ports start to get balance. Note that only the LAN1 Ethernet port receives incoming

traffic. Load Balancing also incorporates Fault Tolerance protection.

Link Aggregation: combines both LAN1 & LAN2 into a single channel, appearing to use a single

MAC address to provide greater bandwidth. It must be used with a network switch having the Link

Aggregation or Trunking function.

Wake-On-LAN

NAS-3410 also supports Wake-On-LAN (available for LAN1 only). Wake-On-LAN allows
administrators to remotely power on your NAS-3410 to perform maintenance task on the server
with no need to go to the server physically.
