Introduction
What is NAS?
NAS is short for “Network attached Storage”, which is used to name a specialized device
that offers mass storage towards a data network. SOHO NAS like the ICY BOX IB-
NAS2001 are small devices that simply share data from HDDs to an Ethernet. There are
many approaches; some are using custom shaped methods in offering the storage space
to the network participants. This approach needs special software to be installed on the
network clients and in most cases is limited to one particular operating system.
The ICY BOX IB-NAS2001 has chosen to offer the HDD space in the way common
operating systems are expecting it. This means it uses the same principles (protocols) to
offer HDD-Storage as common file servers are doing it but with less noise, lower power
consumption and in a much simpler way. The main advantage is that, that special
software is unnecessary to access the storage provided, whilst maintaining the maximum
security features, as already offered within the operation system, such as user and group
based access control.
Samba (Windows)
Netzwerk
The samba server implemented in the ICY BOX IB-NAS2001 offers storage in a way
regular Windows shares are doing it (commonly known as SMB or CIFS protocol). Even
Operating systems like MAC OS and Linux are capable of using this kind of network
storage access. It provides a maximum of security by offering the opportunity to limit the
access on users or groups.
4
FTP
Netzwerk
Router
The FTP protocol is one of the oldest ways for file transfer in the internet. It is fast and
could easily be used to access the HDD even via the internet. A huge set of different
software clients exists even for exotic operating systems using this simple but fast
protocol. Most internet access routers used in small offices and at home offer a
mechanism called port forwarding (virtual server, etc.) which could be easily used to
expose the ICY BOX IB-NAS2001’s storage to the internet. The FTP protocol offers access
control based on user and groups.
NFS
In the Unix world the NFS protocol is common to share disk space via network. This
protocol could be used to mount natively network storage to all kinds of Unix operating
systems like Linux, Solaris, etc. The NFS protocol is fast but does not provide a User or
Group based access control server sided. Access control is limited to the definition of
singular or a set of IP-Addresses (host addresses).
More than a NAS
The ICY BOX IB-NAS2001 is not only an easy to use network storage device. It is a truly
double functional HDD box. It offers a complete USB 2.0 HDD access chipset, offering
greater flexibility. Users have the option of using it as a NAS where a network connection
is available or connect it via the much faster USB 2.0 Interface in the same way they do
it with a conventional external hard drive. This dual-functional design provides a
maximum of flexibility to access the data on the ICY BOX anytime anywhere.
USB
5
But the IB-NAS2001 is even more. You can print via Network or, if you like to distribute
Musik or Videos via your network at home, the UPnP-AV protocol can do this directly to
your network media player.
And if that still is not enough: The IB-NAS2001 can be additionally extended by other
Applications.
USB
Printserver
Netzwerk
Attach your printer to the IB-NAS2001 and use it via network from different computer
simultaneously.

UPnP-AV
Netzwerk
The included Twonky Media Server (30 days trial version) adapts this standard to as
many players as possible. The Twonky Media Server has been updated several times a
year so far to ensure compatibility to all new players. Therefore we have chosen to not
implement this software fix in the firmware of the IB-NAS2001 but to give the user to
easily upgrade it when a new version is released. A permanent license can be purchased
from the Website of Twonky Media by following a link from the user interface of Twonky
Media.
7
Bonjour and iTunes Support
Netzwerk
The IB-NAS2001 is able to assign its services via Bonjour, so that MAC computer can
easily be connected to the server functions of the IB-NAS2001. Due to the iTunes
support, multimedia files can be accessed via iTunes from anywhere in the network.
Extensibility
The IB-NAS2001 can arbitrarily extended on applications by installing additional software
packages. In contrast to the closed systems of other manufacturer, the IB-NAS2001 is
future-proof and open to new developments.
