Access stored les over the Internet

BUILT-IN FTP SERVER 2

SAFELY SHARE DIGITAL FILES LOCALLY AND OVER THE INTERNET

The D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure, when used with internal SATA drives, enables you to share documents, les, and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or ofce network. Remotely accessing les through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server 2. Whether you are allowing access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specic users or groups. When conguring the DNS-323, you can create users and groups and assign them to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an ofce environment with employee-specic sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children will only have access to age appropriate material.

STREAM DIGITAL MEDIA CONTENT TO UPNP AV COMPATIBLE MEDIA PLAYERS

Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-323 for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benets of the built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players (such as those found in D-Links MediaLounge product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn off a computer that would normally be needed for the same function.

PROTECTION, PERFORMANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY

The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID1) allows you to choose the conguration best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in linear fashion for maximum space efciency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a striped conguration, which provides the highest performance, enabling speeds up to 23MBps-Read and 15MBps-Write (184Mbps-Read and 120Mbps-Write) when using a Gigabit Ethernet connection3. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum protection. If one drive fails while congured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be remirrored, allowing the DNS-323 to return to its full protection.

WHAT THIS PRODUCT DOES

The D-Link DNS-323 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure, when used with internal SATA drives1, enables you to share your documents, music, photos, and videos across the network and on the Internet so family members, friends, or employees can access them. This enclosure also allows you to create a central network point for backing up valuable les and the built-in RAID 1 mirroring technology protects these les from drive failure. You can also use this device to stream music, photos, and videos to UPnP AV compatible network media players4.

DNS-323
MIRRORING HARD DRIVES WITH RAID 1 TECHNOLOGY
Backing up to a regular hard drive offers a basic level of protection. But what if that hard drive fails? Using the DNS-323 with two internal SATA drives and RAID 1 technology, you can mirror between the two drives (i.e. duplicate data on both drives), ensuring maximum protection of valuable data. If one drive fails, the other continues to function as a single drive until the failed drive is replaced.

ROBUST SOFTWARE INCLUDED

The included CD contains D-Links Easy Search Utility. This utility allows you to easily locate the DNS-323 anywhere on the network. Once located, use the utility to map the hard drive(s) so they will appear in My Computer on your PC. Backup software is also included on the CD. This will allow the back up of valuable les from a computer to the DNS-323 manually, by a schedule, or in real-time. Real-time backups are a great way to safeguard against unfortunate accidents that may result in the loss of precious les.

YOUR NETWORK SETUP

+ LAN + HDD 2

Hard Drive(s) not included. An internal SATA drive is required to store or share les. RAID 1 mirroring requires the use of two (2) internal SATA drives. To avoid data incompatibility in RAID 1 operation, use SATA drives from the same manufacturer. Formatted drive capacity for RAID 1 operation is dependant on the drive capacity of the lowest-sized drive. May not work with older generation SATA drives. For a list of SATA drives that have been tested to work with the DNS-323, visit www.support.dlink.com. 2 Note that use of an FTP Server to access les over the Internet does not provide for secure or encrypted transmissions. It is recommended that the enduser utilize a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to establish a secure FTP session. 3 Speed results will vary depending on the benchmark utility, hard drive conguration, and the network environment used for testing. 4 D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP AV media player. 5 1-Year Limited Warranty available only in the USA and Canada. 6 Latest software and documentation available at http://support.dlink.com.
