SSH Access
Administrators with advanced networking skills can log in to NAS OS using secure shell (SSH), an encrypted
protocol used for communication between devices. Using a command-line interface, the administrator can
automate data management and backups as well as review the NAS's settings. The administrator also has the
right to access data stored on the NAS via SSH.
Printer server
Printer server is enabled by default. An orange light means that NAS OS does not detect a printer connected
to one of the NAS's USB ports. The light will turn green once a compatible printer is found. Follow the
directions below to share a printer on the network via the NAS OS device:
1. Connect your printer to a USB port on your NAS.
2. Pass the cursor to the far right of the printer row to make the Edit pull-down menu visible and choose
Start.
3. Check the status of the Printer server.
Computers on your network may require specific drivers to use the printer. See your printer's user manual
for details.
Important info: For multi-function printers, only the print feature is supported. If your printer has
a scan feature, it will not work when connected to the NAS. In addition, only PostScript printers
are supported. If your printer does not appear in the printer service, it is likely that it does not
support PostScript printing. This is frequently the case with multi-function and photo printers.
Seagate cannot guarantee that your printer supports the proper protocols to make it a networked
printer.
