Changing the BlackArmor Server’s Advanced Settings

BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 User Guide (Version 3) 43

You add SSL support to your BlackArmor server by entering an SSL certificate and key pair.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Settings

An uninterruptible power supply is a power supply that has a battery in it that maintains power

to a computer or server in the event of a power failure.

A UPS is intended to provide enough power for you to save whatever files you’re working on

and properly power off the computer or server; it’s not meant to keep any system running for

the duration of a power failure.

You can connect your BlackArmor server to a UPS and customize the UPS settings in

BlackArmor Manager. You can specify when you want the UPS to power off the BlackArmor

server if you are not present at the time. You can choose to have the server shut down when:

• The battery life of the UPS reaches 15% of full power or the battery has five minutes of

life left, or less.

Or,

• A specified amount of time has passed since the power failure began. (You can specify

the amount of time.)

Web Access Protocol Settings

By default, your BlackArmor server is set to the HTTP Web access protocol. HTTP stands for

Hypertext Transfer Protocol and is the most common way that data and files are stored on

the Internet.

You can set your BlackArmor server to use HTTPS (HTTP over Secure Socket Layer) if you

have set SSL on the server. (See “Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Settings” on page 42.)

Workgroup and Domain Settings

By default, your BlackArmor server is set as a workgroup. A workgroup is a number of

computers on a network that share resources. You can add any computer to the server’s

workgroup, or you can add the server to an existing workgroup.

Alternatively, you can set your BlackArmor server as a domain member. A domain is a group

of computers administered as a single unit from a central location.

When you add the BlackArmor server as a domain member, it is centrally managed by a

Windows domain controller, which provides another level of security when users attempt to

access the server. Users within the domain receive their own unique accounts and must be

authenticated to receive access.

The domain’s administrator must authorize the BlackArmor server as a domain member. You

must know the domain administrator’s user name and password to add your server to a

domain. See the BlackArmor Manager online help for instructions on adding the server as a

domain member.
