Adding a new Shared Folder
To add a new shared folder, enter a name for it 
in the Shared Folder Name box and choose which 
Disk Space it will reside in.  You may also choose 
which operating systems and features the share 
will support by putting the appropriate checks 
next to Shared Folder Support, and whether 
the share supports the Recycle Bin by putting 
a selecting Enable or Disable.  Enter a Shared 
Folder Description and a Remote Backup Password 
if desired.  Click Apply to build the new shared 
folder.
AppleTalk support is available for use with 
legacy Macs.  Checking “Apple” by Shared Folder 
Support turns on AppleTalk, letting you use your 
LinkStation with older Macs.  Note that AppleTalk 
fi les are limited to 2GB maximum fi lesize and 32 
characters for fi lenames.  If a folder with AppleTalk 
on is accessed from a modern OS through SMB, these limitations will not apply.
Remote Backup Password will set a password on this share for other LinkStations who want to 
use it as a remote backup target.  This password will not affect users attempting to access the 
share; it only pertains to remote LinkStations trying to access this share for backup tasks.
