## Storage Access

Category - Select either User or Group.
User or Group - Select a user or group from the pull down list. Select 'All Accounts' if you wish to create a rule that applies to all users.
Folder - Click "Browse" to select a folder. This folder must be located on the internal drives.
Permission - Assign "Read Only" or "Read / Write" permissions to the selected folder for the selected user or group.
Oplocks - Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking protocol implemented in the 32-Bit Windows family of operating system environments. Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a shared logical volume to its clients. These guarantees inform the Client that a file's content will not be allowed to be changed by the server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be notified before the change is allowed to proceed. Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to network file sharing however when using file-based database applications it is recommended to set the share oplocks to No(off).
What operating systems are affected by Oplocks?
By default Vista has Oplocks enabled and can not be disabled. If you are having network performance issues with applications sharing files from the DIR-685 you may try to improve performance by setting Oplocks to No(off).
Map Archive - When enabled, the file attribute--"Archive" will be copied as the file is being stored on the DIR-685. Certain backup softwares attach this attribute to files that are being stored as backups.
Comment - Additional comments about this rule. This is optional and has no functional effect.
Click 'Save Settings' to save the rule. All saved rules will appear in the list near the bottom of this page. Rules can be edited or deleted by clicking on the 'notepad with pencil' or 'trashcan' icon to the right of the rule.

## Ftp Server

Category - Select either user or group.
User - Select a user or group from the pull down list. Select 'All Accounts' if you wish to create a rule that applies to everyone. Anonymous will always be listed as a user.
Folder - Click "Browse" to select a folder and assign this folder to the selected user. This folder must be located on the internal drives. If you wish to assign access to the root of all drives simultaneously, put a check in the 'root' box.
Permission - Assign "Read Only" or "Read / Write" permissions to the selected folder for the selected user or group. Click 'Add' to add the rule to the list. All saved rules will appear in the list near the bottom of this page. Rules can be edited or deleted by clicking on the 'notepad with pencil' or 'trashcan' icons to the right of the rule.
Max User - Enter the maximum number of users that will be allowed to access the FTP server at one time. The default value is 10.
Idle Time - The FTP server will log a user out if he exceeds the specified idle time.
Port - If you wish to change the port that the FTP server uses, enter in the new number here. This is an advanced setting and a change can cause complications when behind a router. It is recommended to leave this at the default of 21 unless you have experience with changing the FTP port.
Flow Control - This function will adjust the data flow through the FTP server. If you set a limit here, users may download from the FTP server at a slower speed, however, you will conserve local bandwidth.
Client Language - Most standard FTP clients like Windows FTP, only support Western European codepage when transferring files. Northern European, Central European, Traditional and Simplified Chinese as well as Cyrillic codepage support has been added for non standard FTP clients that are capable of supporting these character sets.

## BT Download Manager

The BT Download Manager page contains settings to set up your device so that Bit Torrent files can be downloaded from the Internet, without having to turn on your PC.
BT Setting - This allows you to turn on/off the BT Download Manager service. The directory path allows you to indicate which directory/folder you would like to save your downloaded files to. All downloads will be stored in the indicated directory, with all completed items stored in a directory named "completed" and all on-going items stored in a directory named "incomplete". File organization for each download will remain exactly the same as the original downloaded files.
Torrent Downloads - In the BT Download Manager screen you are allowed to choose whether to add new download items through a URL or from an individual BT seed file.
All items that are downloading will be listed at the bottom of the window, showing one download per row, so you can clearly view and control each item that is downloading.
Table of downloading items - For each item that is downloading, click the "more details" link to view further information about the current downloads.
Stop - Users can use this button to stop/halt the download process, allowing other items that are downloading to have more bandwidth.
Remove - Users can use the button on the right-hand side of each item that is downloading to cancel/delete the item being downloaded, if a mistake has been made.
If the deleted item has already completed, only the entry will be deleted, but the files that have already been downloaded will be kept under the "completed" directory.
Remove Completed - This button at the top right corner of the downloading item table allows users to remove all the finished download items from the table, without deleting the downloaded files.
