using Remote Desktop to access the Services for NFS user interface from the NAS Desktop or
from a command prompt.
Remote Desktop is included in the WebUI of the NAS server. To open a Remote Desktop
session, from the WebUI, select Maintenance, Remote Desktop. See the “Remote Access
Methods and Monitoring” chapter for information on setting up and using Remote Desktop.
