Section 1 - Product Overview
Product Overview
The D-Link ShareCenter DNS-320L is a 2-Bay Cloud Network Storage device. This cloud-centric network storage device
offers all the features a regular NAS offers but brings advanced data backup and storage to the Cloud. This is provided
through the mydlink Account Management console. The mydlink Cloud service offers complete data management of
files, music, photos, and video in the Cloud. So not only can you use the DNS-320L via the Cloud but you can also continue
accessing files through the Internet using the built-in FTP server, web file server and the WebDAV protocol. Whether you are
allowing access locally or over the Internet, you can keep data safe by only giving rights to specific users or groups. Users
can also access their DNS-320L remotely using the mydlink portal, or by using the mydlink Access NAS app on a mobile
phone or tablet. When configuring the DNS-320L, you can create and assign users and groups to folders with either read or
read/write permissions. This is ideal for an office environment with employee-specific sensitive data, or for the home where
you can limit childrens access to certain material. The DNS-320L will be available to any computer (PC, Mac, or Linux) on
your network, without the need to install any software.
You may back up your music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-320L for safekeeping, as well as enjoy the benefits
of the built-in UPnP AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players1 (such as those found in
D-Links MediaLounge product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn off a computer that would
normally be needed for the same function.
The availability of four different hard drive modes (Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1) allows you to choose the configuration
best suited to your needs. Standard mode creates two separately accessible hard drives. JBOD combines both drives in
linear fashion for maximum space efficiency. RAID 0 combines both drives in a striped configuration, which provides the
highest performance when accessing data across disks. RAID 1 causes the drives to mirror each other, providing maximum
protection. If one drive fails while configured as RAID 1, the unaffected drive continues to function as a single drive until the
failed drive is replaced. The new drive will then be re-mirrored, allowing the DNS-320L to return to its full protective state.
The DNS-320L also has several add-on features to enhance your experience, including PhotoCenter, Blogging, Transmission
and Audio Streamer. The DNS-320L Cloud network storage also provides access to Google Drive. This allows you to access,
save, and manage Google apps like Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, and Google Presentations to your NAS.

D-Link cannot guarantee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP AV media player.

Checking the Hardware Requirements

To use your DNS-320L, you will need at least one hard drive installed. If you plan to use RAID 1, which protects your data
against failure of one hard drive, you will need to install two hard drives.
This section will help you:
Select the appropriate hard drives
Determine how much hard disk space you will need
Ensure your data is protected
Understand the basic requirements for a router or switch
Selecting hard drives:
You can use hard drives from any manufacturer and with any capacity with your DNS-320L. The D-Link ShareCenter supports
standard 3.5 internal SATA drives. If you are unsure, check with your administrator or hard drive retailer/manufacturer to
verify that your hard drives meet this standard
*Warning - Any pre-existing data on the drives will be erased during installation.
Determining how much hard drive space you need:

In order to protect your data from hard drive failure, your DNS-320L requires more space than what you will use for your data,
sometimes more than double the amount of space required. You should select hard drives that are larger in capacity than
your maximum storage requirements.
Using a Router or Switch:
If you are connecting your ShareCenter to a router or switch, your router or switch should support Gigabit Ethernet
(1000 Mbit/s) for maximum performance. The ShareCenter will auto-negotiate the highest connection speed available to your
router or switch. If you are using port bonding, use a managed switch.
Using an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS):
We highly recommend that you use your ShareCenter in conjunction with an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), which will
protect against sudden data loss in power outages surges.

Section 2 - Getting Started
Getting Started
Hardware Setup
This user guide will help you get your ShareCenter set up in just a few steps. To install the ShareCenter on your local network, refer to the steps below, or skip to Zero Configuration Setup on page 14 to run the setup wizard which will show you
how to install and configure your DNS-320L.
Release the top panel by firmly pressing the latch at the back.
Once the faceplate is unlatched, remove it to expose the hard drive bays.
11
Attach the hard drive brackets to the sides of your hard drives with the included screws. Ensure the brackets are aligned so that when the hard drive is
inserted, the arrow on the bracket points to the front of the ShareCenter .
Insert up to two 3.5 SATA hard drives into the drive bays.
Note: Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA connector at the
back edge inside the drive bay of the ShareCenter. Gently push the drive in
until it connects. When a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it set into
the connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped may need to
be inserted carefully into position. If a drive is not properly set in place, the
hard drive LED will not illuminate after powering on the device.
12
Re-attach the top panel. Ensure the latch is inserted inside the panel.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. This cable should connect
the ShareCenter to your local network via a router, switch, or directly to a
computer for configuration (cross-over cable required).
Connect the power adapter to the power receptor.
13
Zero Configuration Setup

If you have a mydlink-enabled cloud router (DIR-808L, DIR-810L, DIR-820L
DIR-850L, DIR-860L, DIR-868L, DIR-865L, DIR-855L, DIR-836L), you can take
advantage of Zero Configuration setup. Zero Configuration automatically
configures your NASs settings for you, and adds it to your mydlink account.
This type of setup allows you to set up your DNS-320L by simply plugging it
in and connecting it to your mydlink-enabled router.
Connect your NAS to your mydlink-enabled cloud router and Zero Configuration will automatically configure your DNS-320L and automatically add
it to your mydlink account. After the short time it takes to do this you can
remotely access your NAS from the www.mydlink.com website to manage
and monitor your DNS-320L.
Connect the Ethernet Cable
Use the included Ethernet cable and plug it into the DNS-320L. Plug the
other end into an available port on your router. If you wish to use your NAS
wirelessly, you will be able to remove the cable from the router after Zero
Configuration Setup is complete.
14
Attach the External Power Adapter

Connect the power adapter to the power connector on your NAS, then plug
the power adapter into a wall outlet.
15
Check Your mydlink Account

Open a web browser and login to your mydlink account. The mydlink page
will check for new devices and display a New Device Found! pop-up notification in the bottom-left corner. Click the notification to continue.
Double-click the device to add it to your mydlink devices. If you wish to add it
immediately, click Yes, but if you are unsure of what to do click No. The popup screen displays the Device Name, mydlink number, Network Name, and
Admin Password. If you are unsure of what to do, you can always go back to
Advanced Settings.
16
After your DNS-320L is registered, you will be able to access all information
about the NAS from the cloud service. This information is already available
locally, but the mydlink service provides a way for you to view these details
from any location. From this location, you can view all physical disk information,
and configure RAID. Please be advised that configuring RAID over the mydlink
service will slow your system down and the speed of this service will depend
on your ISP and the speeds you are using to connect to mydlink.
If you have decided to format your NAS using mydlink, select the RAID method
from the drop-down list and then click the Format button. A pop-up message
appears asking you to confirm your choice to format the volume using mydlink.
Click Yes to format, or No to return to the menu.
The format process may take some time to complete. The format process
depends on the speed of your network connection and client CPU.
17
Once the format process is complete, your mydlink cloud service will show
you the RAID status and the Volume Status. It also displays the size of the drive,
and available and used space.
18

Hard Drive Configuration

The next part of the setup wizard helps you to configure your hard drive storage. The DNS-320L offers four options for hard
drive storage configuration. You should choose the option which best suits your storage, redundancy, and backup needs.
The RAID Configuration window provides more detailed Physical Disk
information. Here you can analyze your Disk, Vendor, Model number, Serial
number, and Disk size. Under Select RAID Type, there are four options to
choose from:
yy
Standard (default) - This option creates one or more volumes on each

hard drive which is inserted into the NAS. Each hard drive will have its
own volume. Please skip to Standard RAID on page 30 to continue the
setup process using this option.
yy
JBOD - This option combines the two hard drives into one or more volumes, but does not use a RAID configuration. Please skip to JBOD on
page 33 to continue the setup process using this option.
yy
RAID 0 - This option splits data evenly across the two drives to create
one array. The size of the array will be limited to the twice the size of the
smallest hard drive in use. Please skip to RAID 0 on page 36 to continue the
setup process using this option.
yy
RAID 1 - This option uses one hard drive for storage, and the other hard
drive to create a mirror of the first drive for redundancy. If the first hard
drive fails, the second hard drive will serve as the primary storage drive
until the failed drive is replaced. Please skip to RAID 1 on page 39 to continue the setup process using this option.
Note: You can skip this step if you have set up this system before.
29
Standard RAID

Here you can assign privileges to this share.

Opportunistic locks (oplocks) are a characteristic of the LAN Manager networking
protocol implemented in the 32-bit Windows family.
Oplocks are guarantees made by a server for a shared logical volume to its
clients. These guarantees inform the client that a files content will not be allowed
to be changed by the server, or if some change is imminent, the client will be
notified before the change is allowed to proceed.
Oplocks are designed to increase network performance when it comes to
network file sharing. However it is recommended to set the share oplocks to off
when using file-based database applications. When Map Archive is enabled,
the file attribute will be copied as the file is being stored on the ShareCenter.
Here you can assign more protocol privileges that a user can use to access this
share. Options to choose from are FTP, NFS, and WebDAV. CIFS and AFP are set

system will generate the media library. Users can see thumbnail views from the
My Music and My Photos panel.
The My Music service provides detailed information on the genres, file size and
cover art. My Photos creates automatic albums and collates them according
to your collection.
These categories, My Photos and My Music (including any video data you
might have), offer stable features you can use smoothly on your DNS-320L. One
feature most useful is: Enhanced Content Aggregation.
Enhanced Content Aggregation allows you to pause/resume images, music
and videos more easily without lag. Within multimedia the DNS-320L also
offers the current processing file name and how many files still remain for you
to upload or download.
Note: The system may become slow when generating the media library,
especially when processing with a large number of files. After a media library
is created, whenever you copy new media files into the Media Share folder,
new media files in the folder will be automatically added to the media library.

Section 5 - Knowledge Base
Knowledge Base
What is RAID?
RAID, short for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a combination of two or more disks with the aim of providing fault
tolerance and performance improvement. There are several different levels of RAID, with each one providing a different
method of sharing or distributing data amongst the drives. The DNS-320L supports Standard, JBOD, RAID 0, and RAID 1.
Standard: Standard provides a single volume for each drive.
Although performance is improved, the lack of any RAID or mirroring means that if one drive fails, all data on
the volume will be lost.
JBOD: JBOD allows you to create a large virtual disk drive by concatenating two or more smaller drives together.
It offers no redundancy and limited data protection.
382
RAID 0 provides data striping, which spreads out blocks of data over all the
drives, but does not provide data redundancy.
Although performance is improved, the lack of fault tolerance means that if
one drive fails, all data in the array will be lost.
RAID 1 provides mirroring over multiple disks, with the same read/write
speed of a single disk. A RAID 1 array can only be as large as its smallest
member disk.
Because the data is stored on multiple disks, RAID 1 provides fault tolerance
and protection, in addition to performance advantages.
383
RAID Options
Here is a list of the RAID options available on the ShareCenter DNS-320L.
Standard RAID - creates a single volume for one drive or more drives.
JBOD - allows you to create a large virtual disk drive by concatenating two
or more smaller drives together. The individual hard drives that makes up
a JBOD RAID can be different sizes and manufacturers. The total size of the
JBOD RAID is the combined total of all the individual drives in the set.
RAID 0 - allows you to assign two or more disks as a striped set. Once you
create the striped set, you will see it as a single disk drive. But when you write
data to the RAID 0 striped set, the data will be distributed across all of the
drives that make up the set. Because each disk has less to do, it takes less
time to write the data. The same is true when reading data; instead of a single disk having to seek out and then send a large block of data, multiple disks
each stream their part of the data stream. As a result, RAID 0 striped sets can
provide a dynamic increase in disk performance.
384
RAID 1 - allows you to assign two disks as a mirrored set. Once you create the
mirrored set, you will see it as a single disk drive. But when you write data to
the mirrored set, it will duplicate the data across all members of the set. This
ensures that your data is protected against loss if any hard drive in the RAID
1 set fails. In fact, as long as any single member of the set remains functional,
you will continue to operate normally, with complete access to your data.
385
UPS Connectivity
The DNS-320L supports USB UPS, giving users the ability to share the UPS on their local network and protect from an abnormal
shutdown due to a power failure. Follow these instructions to connect a UPS to the USB port on the back of the ShareCenter.
Standalone and Network Master Mode:
Log into the DNS-320L.
386
Click Management.
Click System Management>>USB Devices.

Click the blue arrow next to UPS Settings. There are two modes - Standalone
and Master.
Select Standalone to use the UPS only on the DNS-320L, or select Master to
share the UPS with the network UPS slaves.
The UPS Status screen shows the mode, manufacturer, product type, battery
charge meter, and status.
387
Under Mode, select Master from the drop-down list and then click Add.
Enter the IP address of the other UPS slave on the network.

Click the + button to add more IP addresses.
Make sure the DNS-320L and the UPS slaves are on the same physical
network.
Click OK to continue.
388
Once you have entered an IP address, the system will check its database for
IP address records.
The UPS Settings table will display the IP address(es) you added.
Your DNS-320L is now setup as the network master to notify the network
slaves about critical power status.
389
Deleting a UPS Slave

Under Management>>System Management>>USB Devices>>UPS
Setting, select the IP address. Your selection will turn red.
Click Delete.
The DNS-320L will process your request.
The IP address will no longer be listed in the table.
390
USB Print Server

The DNS-320L features a built-in USB print server, giving users the ability to share a printer on their local network. Connect a
USB printer to the USB port on the back of the device. It is important to ensure that any of the printer manufacturers drivers
are already installed or available on any computer you want to print from.
Note: Only the print function is supported. The device does not support the copy and scan functions of multi-function printers.
To add a printer, connect your printer via USB cable to the USB port on the back of the Sharecenter:
The printer should appear in the USB Devices menu of the System Management tab.
391
Using Windows Explorer, locate the DNS-320L. The printer should appear as a
network location. Double-click the printer to initiate the installation.
The Windows Add Printer Wizard will launch.
Select the printer driver from the installed Manufacturer list or use the Have
Disk button to browse for the printer driver file if you have them on your
local hard disk or a CD-ROM.
Click OK to continue.
392
If you choose Have Disk, you will need to locate the installation file. Click
Browse to locate the file.
Once you have selected the proper driver as shown in the browse list then
click OK to install the printer.
The printer is now installed and the printer queue will appear.
393
Setting up a Printer Using Mac OS 10.8

Go to Management>>System Management>>USB Devices to view the
printer attached to your NAS.
Check the device settings under System Management>>Device>>Device

Settings.
Download the printer manufacturers drivers, or install them from the CD
that came with your printer. You must ensure that you use the correct Mac
OS 10.8 drivers. Install these drivers on your Mac.
394
Go to System Preferences>>Print & Scan.
Under Print & Scan, click the plus sign.
395
Under Add Printer, click the IP tab to add the shared printer which is
connected to the NAS.
Enter the IP address of the printer and the Queue configuration.

Note: Under the Queue section, enter lp, (where lp stands for Line Printer).
396
Under Location, choose Select Printer Software.
Select your specific printer. (If you cannot find a driver for your printer, please
download the driver from the manufacturers web site and install it.)
397
The IP printer now appears under Print & Scan. The IP address is clearly
visible in the configuration settings.
