How to initial N2310 N4310 THECUSID DDNS T-OnTheGo

How to initiate N2310 N4310 THECUS ID with DDNS T-OnTheGo:

1. Equipment required:

Thecus OS6 with DHCP. In order to ensure successful initiation, we strongly recommend working

with a ROUTE and support UPnP forward ( UPnP port management )(UPnP IGD) function.

*1 ASUS RT-N16, ASUS RT-N66, ASUS RT-AC66U or NETGEAR WNDR3700. (ASUS RT-N12 D1 UPnP

port forward supported, but the Ethernet supports up to 100Mbps only) (N2310, N4310 and all

Thecus NAS support up to 1000Mbps).

*2 Thecus OS5 & OS6 base on internet security issue, thus unsupported PPPoE to publish whole NAS

on the internet.。

*3 If you do not know your current network, please consult with your Internet Service Provider (ISP),

Thecus reseller, or with Thecus directly.

2. Initiation

2.1. Link your NAS to ROUTE’LAN port, and ensure that your PC or NB are able access the internet via

The network driver is a very useful function with NAS. It is called the NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD for

Windows, SAMBA (SMB) for NAS & Lunix. For Apple OSX users, it may be called FTP, Thecus

T-OnTheGO or APF.

Click the top left icon: CONTROL PANEL->NETWORK SERVICE

Thecus OS6’s default FTP port is at 2100, most FTPs are at port 23. If necessary users can change to

port 21. Set ALLOW ANONYMOUS FTP ACCESS to NO ACCESS to pervent unknown users from

logging in.

V1.1 11/26 22 Dec 2014

V1.1 12/26 22 Dec 2014


4. You need to create a user account (LOCAL USER CONFIGURATION) than assign folder permisson

(SHARE FOLDER ACL) (ACL=Access Control List), and enable access to the nonpublic folder. They

assigned user account & folder permssion will apply to WINDOWS NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD

(SAMBA), FTP, Thecus T-OnTheGo & AFP for APPLE OSX.

At least 4 characters needed for user account & password.

V1.1 13/26 22 Dec 2014


4.2. Assign folder permisson (SHARE FOLDER ACL)

Only nonpublic folder (PUBLIC = NO) has an ACL icon to configure, thus here we create an

nonpublic folder “afolder”.

4.3. Drag the USERA to the WRITABLE blue area, and click APPLY.

The unassigned user account set to DENY permission.

5. Map network driver

If the NAS IP is at 172.16.67.1, we access NAS ADMIN WBE interface via http://172.16.67.1. To

access the NAS share folder, modify to: \\172.16.67.1

If it is an open permission share folder (PUBLIC =YES), just click the right mouse key to map network

driver.

If it is nonpublic ACL share folder (PUBLIC =NO), you will need to key-in the user account & password.

Warning: Windows will auto save the connection account & password automatically. If you want to

test mutiple accounts & ACL, do not do so from FTP.

http://172.16.67.1/

6. FTP connection

Microsoft IE supports FTP client connection, but does not support UTF-8 encode. For ASIA users, it is

strongly recommended to choose the FTP client program which support UTF-8, such as FILEZAILLA

https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1

If you need to access via FTP (FILEZILLA) to ensure multiple user ACL/permission, you can do so via

QUICKCONNECT to verify difference user accounts. FTP will show which folders the users have

access to, but Windows NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD (SAMBA) (SMB) will list all NAS folders and

users will need to click each folder to see the status.

7. Thecus T-OnTheGo function base set to WEBDAV service, With the WEBDAV function enabled you

can access with a browser at http://172.16.67.1:9800/ (if NAS IP at 172.16.67.1) This will enable you

https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?show_all=1
