Manual IB-NAS4220-B

Introduction

What is NAS?

NAS is short for “Network attached Storage”, which is used to name a specialized device

that offers mass storage towards a data network. SOHO NAS like the ICY BOX IB-

NAS4220-B are small devices that simply share data from HDDs to an Ethernet. There

are many approaches; some are using custom shaped methods in offering the storage

space to the network participants. This approach needs special software to be installed

on the network clients and in most cases is limited to one particular operating system.

The ICY BOX IB-NAS4220-B has chosen to offer the HDD space in the way common

operating systems are expecting it. This means it uses the same principles (protocols) to

offer HDD-Storage as common file servers are doing it but with less noise, lower power

consumption and in a much simpler way. The main advantage is that, that special

software is unnecessary to access the storage provided, whilst maintaining the maximum

security features, as already offered within the operation system, such as user and group

based access control.

Samba (Windows)

Network

The samba server implemented in the ICY BOX IB-NAS4220-B offers storage in a way

regular Windows shares are doing it (commonly known as SMB or CIFS protocol). Even

operating systems like MAC OS and Linux are capable of using this kind of network

storage access. It provides a maximum of security by offering the opportunity to limit the

access on users or groups.
