PrecautionPrecaution

What is DDNS?

Dynamic IP changes frequently, so it is impossible to

deliver it externally or connect to the domain such as

www.lgNAS.com. In such an environment it is very

inconvenient to access from outside, so DDNS

enables you to access via the same domain whenever

the IP changes by reflecting this to DNS.

What is UPnP?

This is the function which helps to control Port easily.

By just activation the UPnP function, it makes access

to LG NAS inside router possible from outside router.

NoteNote

DMZ A function which sets a router and one of the PCs

connected similar to connecting directly to internet.

A concept similar to IP forwarding.

Virtual FTP (irregular FTP)This is a setting

connected to Virtual server (private server) router to manage all sorts of internal servers.

Port Forwarding From external internet it functions

to map it to the PC communication port connected to router

Router (NAT Router/IP sharer)Basically, it is a network device which routes among one public IP and several private IPs.

If you have ipTIME router, upgrade Firmware and set UPnP.

15. [Using] External NAS access failure

Fix LG NAS IP to manual IP setting.


Due to the change of NAS device IP in router, external access may be impossible. This is because DMZ or Port forwarding setting is forwarding to the previous NAS IP that the changed IP’s device is inaccessible.

CAUSECAUSE

Go to router setting and LAN setting and DHCP setting. You can connect virtual IP created from router to a

certain device.


If you use this, even if the router is

turned off and on the IP allocated to

NAS device by router is fixed and

connected.

1. What is Jumbo Frame?


Jumbo Frame is something bigger than the standard Ethernet frame size which ic 1500byte.

Jumbo Frame

NoteNote

Maximum 1500byte is transferrable when the data is sent via internet (up to 1492 bytes for some devices) this is referred to as MTU is 1500 byte. If you want to download 1GB size file, in fact, it is divided to 1500 bytes and transferred.

In 1990, when the standardization of Ethernet happened, the quality of the line was poor due to the lack of high technology. In other words, error occurred frequently. So 1500byte was transferred at one time and if there was an error, it was sent again. However, the quality improved nowadays. So errors rarely occur. And it’s better to divide 1GB into bigger chunks rather than 1500s. (Think what’s easier when cutting the radish; into bigger chunks or small bites) This is how Jumbo Frame was invented.

2. How to use Jumbo Frame?


If you want to use Jumbo Frame, not only NAS but all the hardware the data needs to go through such as Lan care

or the router should support the Jumbo Frame. Also, the Lan line and the connector should be standardized to

have more than cat.5e.

each Hard Disk. (Similar to the way Hard Disk is used in general PC)Feature

Advantage

Disadvantage

When consists of two volumes, if one is damages still the other’s data will be saved.

If the Hard disk is damaged, its data will be lost.

RAID 0 Striping VolumeRAID 0 Striping Volume A technique which configures several hard disks into parallels and uses it

like one hard disk. The volume saving capacity is the sum of all capacities of hard disks. It is used for the quick access to the data and to secure the volume capacity but is not fit to save important data.

Since it saves data to each hard disk in parallel, it shows excellent performance in reading several low capacity files.

To secure the saving capacity, how to cope with the loss of hard disk is not written on the volume. So when the hard disk is damages, the data stored in the volume will be lost.

RAID 1 Mirroring VolumeRAID 1 Mirroring Volume A technique which copies the same data to hard disk. It will be used to restore the data and is suitable for saving important data.

Feature

Advantage

Disadvantage

If one hard disk is damaged still the other one consist of volume has the same content, so even the storage capacity efficiency is low, data restoration rate is

excellent.

Low storage capacity. The storage capacity of the volume replicates all the data to hard disks that it is configured by the minimum capacity among the RAID configured hard disks.

JBOD Linear volume

(linear)

JBOD Linear volume

(linear)A technique which configures several hard disks into serials and uses it like one hard disk. The volume saving capacity is the sum of all capacities of hard disks. It is used to maximize the ensured capacity but is not fit to save important data.

Since it saves data to each hard disk in serial, It could secure the storage capacity to the maximum.

To secure the saving capacity, how to cope with the loss of hard disk is not written on the volume. So when the hard disk is damages, the data stored in the volume will be lost.

RAID 5(Parity volume)RAID 5(Parity volume) The most common method used among RAID types. It uses parity to save the data. The storage capacity for RAID level 5 is the same as total disk capacity minus one disk capacity.

Feature

Advantage

Disadvantage

RAID level 5 could store parity to each array disk that it could avoid the bottleneck happening.

Writing performance cannot be as fast as mirroring because you need to operate parity beforehand.

RAID 10 RAID 10 Enhanced the stability and the speed by tying RAID 1 configured drive with the stripe array. It is the combination of restore rate of RAID 1 and the excellent performance of RAID 0.

If one hard disk is damaged still the other one consist of volume has the same content, so even the storage capacity efficiency is low, data restoration rate is

excellent.

Low storage capacity. The storage capacity of the volume replicates all the data to hard disks. It creates a backup hard to each hard.

RAID FAQRAID FAQ

Why is the volume capacity smaller than anticipated?Why is the volume capacity smaller than anticipated?

→→→→ There are several parts used in NAS volume.

1. 1GB is equal to 1000MB for the disk manufacturers while rest of the other operating systems including raider

uses 1GB=1024MB. This is why 500GB disk is seen as 465GB in front view.

2. RAID is used for the recovery management of one disk. This means that when you use 4*500GB, the actual

volume size is 3*500GB.

3. NAS OS uses 2.25GB per disk. 4. RAID’s overhead and file system consist 2% of the total capacity.

Check the group authority and folder authority.

Once the user is created, like the picture below, it will be automatically included in default user group. Group authority

comes in before the user authority, so if the user authority is removed from the specific folder, if the group authority

still applies, then the user has authority to the folder.

Removing a file or folder when the network drive is still connected creates a trashbox and all deleted files are temporarily moved here. If user were to recover the deleted data, user may find the file or folder from the trashbox and move them to the intendedlocation. However, trashbox is created for each highest level folder and there will be as many trashboxes as the number of user’s folders. In the case that user runs out of hard disk capacity and must empty all trashboxes, user may click on the “recycle bin” icon on the volume web screen and empty all contents of the trashbox. .

3. After setting DLNA, when playing TV into Dvix in PS3, DLNA protocol error occurred.


NAS simply functions as the digital media server that provides materials for the video. When the error occurs, it is the

problem either of the TV or PS3 codec.

DLNA is divided into DMS(Digital Media Server) which provides photos, music, video materials and DMP(Digital Media

Player). To use DLNA features you must use the device with DLNA authentication. LG NAS complies with Digital Media Server(DMS) feature which is one of the DLNA standard features.

AnswerAnswer

Now(firmware version 2450), There is the capacity limitation of Time Machine.

Before Apple opens the time machine operation method, when our lab codes the time machine program in NAS, the firmware version 2450 includes the capacity limitation.No limitation might have a problem or not. It’s a reason why we considers stability.That’s why we decide the capacity limitation. We are checking to change the limitation.Users can’t change the configuration, we will upgrade the coding and release the new firmware.
