Adding a NAS (Network Attached Storage) to a GIGAMEDIA recorder

This procedure aims to add a NAS to a Gigamedia recorder via a wired network connection.

In our example, the brand of our NAS is Synology, and we know its IP address and the credentials (Login / Password) to access it. We will use the SMB protocol to perform this addition.

First, create the shared folder that will receive the recording history:

Next, enable the SMB service to allow sharing:

You need to increase the SMB range from SMB1 to SMB3:

We will use the web interface of the recorder

Menu Stockage / Disque / Add NetHDD

Specify the information for your NAS: 

• Mounting Type: SMB/CIFS 
• Username & Password: 
• NAS IP Address 
• Directory Name: /Shared folder name 
• Disk Size: Allocated size

Then format the disk, and the NAS is operational:

The disk is now operational. It behaves in the same way as a local storage disk.

You can change the disk type based on your needs: Read/Write disk Redundant Disk Read-Only Disk
