from two different subnets. This is known as multi-IP settings*. When using Qfinder Pro
to detect the NAS IP, the IP of Ethernet 1 will be shown in LAN 1 only and the IP of
Ethernet 2 will be shown in LAN 2 only. To use port trunking for a dual LAN connection,
see section (iii).
* TS-110, TS-119, TS-210, TS-219, TS-219P, TS-119P+, TS-219P+, TS-112, and TS-
212 only have one LAN port and do not support dual LAN configuration or port trunking.

Under "Network Parameters" on the TCP/IP Property page, configure the following
settings:
Ne twork Spe e d:
Select the network transfer rate according to the network
environment of the NAS. Select auto negotiation and the NAS will automatically
adjust the transfer rate.
O bta in the IP a ddre s s s e ttings a utom a tic a lly v ia DH C P:
If the network supports
DHCP, select this option and the NAS will automatically obtain the IP address and
network settings.
Us e s ta tic IP a ddre s s :
To use a static IP address for network connections, enter
the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

"Jumbo Frames" refers to Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500
bytes. It is designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput and reduce the
CPU utilization of large file transfers by enabling more efficient larger payloads per
packet. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) refers to the size (in bytes) of the
largest packet that a given layer of a communications protocol can transmit. The
NAS uses standard Ethernet frames (1500 bytes) by default. If network appliances
support Jumbo Frames, select the appropriate MTU value for the network
environment. The NAS supports 4074, 7418, and 9000 bytes for MTU.
Note :
Jumbo Frames is only valid in Gigabit networks. All of the connected network
appliances must enable Jumbo Frames and use the same MTU value.
Jumbo Frames are only supported by certain NAS models. Refer to the software
specification page on the QNAP website for further details.

A Virtual LAN (VLAN) is a group of hosts which communicate as if they were attached to
the same broadcast domain even if they are located in different physical locations. The
