I have spend hours moving 450gb from my 323 running 1.06 fw to another drive. Then I reset the 323 to defaults, installed 1.09 fw and two fresh 1tb drives and formatted the drives using raid1.

Trying to duplicate the setup I had on the device with 1.06..

two folders in volume_1. One called public, one called private. Only one user could access the private folder and needed a user name and password. Any computer or user could access the public folder.

I set up the two shares and deleted volume_1 from the access page just as I did under 1.06.

If I set up a password for the private folder, no computers can access the 323 without a user name and password even the public folder.

If I restore default access or remove the user from the private folder and set access to all, then everything works and is accessable but that leaves me with no security on the private folder.

What am I doing wrong.. This is not rocket science and this same setup worked under 1.06 firmware.


I have been at this for hours. I could really use a suggestion here.

This was a decision made by D-Link in v1.08. You aren't doing anything wrong, it was done like that on purpose that you can't mix open and restricted shares any more.

Thank you for the reply.. I held off updating the firmware till I was ready to put in larger drives. I wanted to update the firmware cuz e-mail alerts quit working in 1.06. Actually, they won't work for me in 1.09 either because my isp requires ssl and the firmware does not give an option for that. This is very disappointing.

So 1.08 of the FW will act the same way correct? I'll just put 1.06 back on and restore my config.

I don't remember exactly but I think 1.07 just added support for 2tb drives..

I don't understand the logic behind not allowing a public folder if a private share has been set up.

I need to spend more time on the forum.

Has anybody posted the specs for the drive led's? I have two boxes and one needs both drive leds replaced, the other needs one.

[gunrunnerjohn]

They are almost surely pretty generic LED's, I suspect the fit will be more important than the specifications.

How did you manage to lose two LED's, they're not exactly high failure items?

Well.. no they are not generic.. Hard to find cuz it has a center anode (or cathode) don't remember but the ones used are hard to find. You would also think that the two colors are just sending power to one side or the other but I am pretty sure they are multi color, not just two color. In that case, voltage & polarity change the colors.

In regards to not being a high failure rate component... I my search for the proper led I ran across several other cases of the same thing. Maybe on a percentage bases (failures vs devices sold), it is a low percentage but I have two separate boxes in which they both need the leds replaced.

The 1st box was in service for a little over two years.. One led quit and about 3 weeks later, the other. The second box is now been in service for almost two years and the right drive led need replacing. It still lights but it is very dim and can not be seen with the cover on.

I know it is the led cuz alligator clips to a new led, the led lights up nice & bright.

Odd, I wonder if they were a bad lot?

Maybe.. But the age of the 1st device I speak of it probably 4+ years. The second is maybe a little over two years so unless they bought 2+ years worth of leds to use in production, I don't think it was a bad lot.

I called d-link and asked but no one was able to help.. I realize the devices are built off shore but they are probably repaired in country. Maybe they just change the whole board and don't do pcb level repairs.

Somebody has to know the specs.. I don't need oem leds (would be nice), but just the specs and I could find a replacement. Every time I have guessed, I have lost. The leds don't seem to be common and not available at radio shack. When you order what you think uou need, shipping is more than the leds.

The led's I have used may light up, but they don't work in some way (blue works, amber does not, both colors light up at the same time, etc). I have tried several different types.

[gunrunnerjohn]

If you have a working one in any of the boxes, remove it and determine the characteristics of it on the bench before shopping for the replacements.

OK.. Since my last post.. The 2nd led went dim on my 2nd box.. Let me just say though, that my 323's run 24/7/365. That makes all hard drive led's on my two boxes have failed.

Soooooo.. I did what you said and figured out the led on the bench.

Center pin is a common anode. The pin on each side are the cathodes for each color, one blue, one amber.

That makes the led for the hard drives: 5mm, semi diffused, common anode, blue & amber led.

I have spend hours seraching.. The common anode is the problem. If it were a common cathode, no problem. If you don't mind clear instead of semi-diffused, you can get blue & red but still common cathode.

If anyone can find a led that would fit.. Blue is a must, but the fault color can be red instead of amber, post a link. I can find nothing.

might be an obvious question... but did you tried
www.digikey.com ?

Indeed.. digikey, newark, mouser, and several led speciality shops via google. I can use a "tri-color". Problem is with a common anode, pin 4 is the anode (outer pin).. It will turn into a spaghetti western behind the led holder. I typically don't "hack" my projects.. "Works" is not good enough. When finished.. needs to "Look" oem.
