Sharing Overview
Your px6-300d Network Storage is set up for storing, retrieving, and accessing files among users, client
computers, and applications.
File sharing is accomplished by:
●
Creating Shares
●
Creating users and groups and setting access permissions
●
Setting up media services
●
Configuring Active Folders
This section on Sharing Files also provides information on advanced file sharing options, including network
protocols and customizing the device home page.
Interfaces for Sharing
Your px6-300d has three separate interfaces for file sharing:
●
px6-300d Device Management Console
You manage the creation of Shares and set user access to Shares through the device
management console (web-based management interface).
●
LenovoEMC Storage Manager
Optionally installed on your local computer, LenovoEMC Storage Manager discovers any
LifeLine-based network storage devices on your subnet, maps device Shares to computers, and
provides local access to your content. It provides access to Shares through your computer's file
management program, such as Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, allowing you to drag and drop
many files between your computer and your px6-300d device. Installing LenovoEMC Storage
Manager is optional.
●
Home Page
The Home page serves as a web-accessible interface to your px6-300d device. The Home page
content is configured using the device management console. The Home page displays any
Shares that have been made accessible to everyone (public Shares). It can also display secured
Shares accessible only to users who log in to the px6-300d device from the Home page. You can
access the Home page of your px6-300d device by entering the device name or IP address
directly in your browser. If you are an administrator user, you can access the device management
console from the Home page by clicking
