6. Setup & Admin - Other Features

There are a number of other handy administration features that I don't think I touched on:

You can enable emailed alerts. But I couldn't get the NSL to send me anything, even when I tried to exceed a User quota Browser-based firmware upgrade from a downloaded file Set the time zone and date and time for the NSL's clock Enable WINS and specify a server IP Restore the factory configuration and save and load the NSL's configuration Immediately shutdown or restart the NSL, or schedule shutdown and start up. (Unfortunately, the NSL can't power down the attached USB drive) Extensive on-line help is available via a condensed User Guide link and context-sensitive Help button on each screen.

But there are also some notable omissions:

You can't disable HTTP access to the NSL's drives, nor can you set a different port for admin and file access. Note also that HTTP access is read only FTP file access is not supported Although you can view a master (merged) log or just a log of the Backup activity (more below), you can't save the log or send it to a syslog server Permission (Share, User, Group) activities are not logged, nor are logins and failed login attempts. No indication of how much of each User's Quota is used
