TeraStation User Manual 52

Notes:

• If you change the TeraStation’s name, you will no longer be able to use domain users and groups or access restrictions. Rejoin the domain.

• If a domain user name contains more than 20 bytes, the TeraStation truncates it to 20 bytes.

• The TeraStation only downloads the first 1000 users or the first 1000 groups from a domain controller.

• If you operate TeraStation as a member server of NT Domain or Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.

• When you change the user or group settings on the domain controller, these changes may not take effects immediately on TeraStation. If you need to reflect changes on the domain controller immediately, reboot TeraStation.

• If your TeraStation is a member server in NT Domain or Active Directory domain and you change the [Authentication

Method] to [Workgroup] in [Network] - [Workgroup/Domain] - [Modify Settings] on the Web Admin interface, the computer account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.

• If it has joined a domain network, you cannot connect to the TeraStation via FTP.
