[Bug Fixes]
1) Fixed the bug that Nsync last status always show "in progress", but no files
have been transferred.
[Known Limitations]
1. File names and folder names should not contain more than 250 characters in their entire
directory path to prevent errors occur in the file copy operations.
2. The following characters are not allowed to be included in the name used for files or
folders on the ALL6600.
/ \ : * ? ” < > | [ ] = + ; ,
3. Some attributes may not be included with files and folders when copying to a USB drive
with FAT32 format.
4. If a USB hard drive is connected to ALL6600 formatted as FAT16/32, the following
restrictions apply:
- Copy file with size greater than or equal to 2 GB to the ALL6600 can not be
performed due to FAT file system limitation.
- Files created by Mac OS X like DS_Store can not be copied to the FAT16/32 USB
drive.
5. The file downloaded from ALL6600 via Microsoft IE might include extension index
number in its file name.

6. Writing a file larger than 2 GB is not allowed by MAC OS-9.
7. The following characters are not allowed to be included in the name used for a file or
shared folder when using Mac OS (AppleTalk) devices.
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : ” , | *
8. Mac OS Limitations
a. When using Mac OS X (post 10.2 with AppleTalk) without SMB, do not use
Japanese characters in folder or file names to prevent errors accessing the data
over a network.
b. Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X can not see files on the network with names made up
of over 32 characters.
c. Mac OS 8.x/9.x only support local character encoding on file names (without
Unicode support).
d. Occasionally, when a file is accessed by a Mac OS computer within a shared
folder, an information file will be created in the same folder. If the file is then
deleted by a Windows OS computer, the original file may no longer be accessible
by Mac OS computers.
9. For Mac users, NAS user accounts created in old firmware may fail to log in before admin
re-entering the user's password. SMB/CIFS users don't have this issue.
10. Single file size upper limitation: 2TB
11. NAS needs about 3~5 minutes to broadcast/register itself to other Mac OS through
AppleTalk after booting up and service enabled.
12. Please do not use Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese character sets in share
folder’s name. It might cause share folders permission error, and no body could access
any folders. However, using above two character sets in the sub-folders is okay.
13. File system check page is in English, no multilingual.
14. Disk Power Management : some HDD may not respond to “idle spin down” command,
and they won’t get into stand by mode even if the specified idle time had been reached.
[Attention]
1. During firmware upgrade and installation process, it is imperative that user DO
NOT turn off the power to NAS or closes the browser window. This will lead to
catastrophic result. If your browser is set to cache the screen, after firmware
upgrade has started for 5 minutes, please press CTRL-F5 to reload browser
screen from server instead of from browser cache.
2. When installing the Windows Wizard program on Win XP Professional SP1 or SP2, the
firewall UDP ports 10000 and 10001 need to be opened.
3. Reset to factory default function automatically resets all the system settings including
network settings, administrator password, user groups, language setting, system
notification setting, and time zone setting.
4. Users should obey the international RF regulatory rules as they set up the wireless RF

specified as following. Thecus has no responsibility for users attempting to violate the
international RF regulation.
11 for N. America

Hello,
I'd be brave enough if the changes mattered to me. Firmware is running and doing everything I want it to do.
I can however provide anybody brave enough with an image of the ssd flash card for a non-pro n5200 which should work OK for the pros not tested.
If everything goes wrong just remove the flash card throw the image onto it with dd command from a computer with ide interface (need an adapter to 44 pins 2.5" notebook drive) and the unit should be up and running again.
Cheers
Jeronimo

If been running 2.00.07 for a few weeks now (Thecus 5200 pro), so it's probably on its way

Although I'm not sure that mine is the offical "release" version.

The only small problem I noticed that UPS support for my UPS was broken....but by changing the model to Various and keeping the manufacturer set to Mustek it works again....

Had no issues upgrading at all.

[kfc]

where abouts did you get the firmware? I am keen to see if they have fixed the ps3 divx problems..even if its a beta version i am willing to give it a go.

[drewy]

The beta I'm running was supplied to me by Thecus in an attempt to fix a problem I currently have. As such I aren't able to pass it on to anyone else. Sorry.
