sds2104X PLUS

[Vulcan]

This is my first post and getting back into the technical arena after a long career in telecommunication and IT  management.

 I was wondering if anyone might have the Taligent SDS2104x Plus and tried to set up the network storage option. I have been unsuccessful in mounting a shared file on both Windows and on my Synology NAS. The scope indicates wrong arguments. The scope is being served by the DHCP server and I had already loaded the NI driver for my B&K signal generator.  I have seen a bit of discussion around NFS and UNIX (that it works) yet nothing on any other operating systems. Does anyone have any possible solutions or ideas you are willing to share with a newcomer?

As a backdrop, I am starting to focus on IOT and home automation so getting into the ESP32/ESP8266 MP's and a variety of devices to monitor and control a water storage and irrigation system, closed loop. I am a retired electronic engineer and trying to recapture my love of "hands-on" electronics.

By default this scope use SMB1. You can force it to SMB3: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds2000x-plus-bugs-missing-features-feature-requests/msg3776087/#msg3776087

I assuming you mean the Siglent SDS2104X Plus.  First, you have to use the IP address of the server with he share.  The scope will not resolve the server by name.

Next, as mentioned, you might have to enable SMB3 on the scope or enable SMB1 on the server you are attaching to (Windows or the NAS)

Try the IP address of the NAS first, it may already respond to SMB1.

Yeah, Taligent was a joint venture of Apple and IBM in the 1990ies. Funny to read a historic name here.

... or enable SMB1 on the server you are attaching to (Windows or the NAS)

Do NOT do that. SMB1 is a gaping security hole, that is fairly easy to exploit. It is so bad that even Microsoft, known for being obsessed with compatibility, removed support for SMB1 entirely from all versions of Windows several years ago. You may want to dismiss that on the grounds that the NAS is not accessible from the Internet, but if any other local PC catches a ransomware trojan, then you will find find everything on the NAS encrypted (and probably gone) as well as the stuff on the PC. Or some neighbour might hack your WLAN, with SMB1 he has easy and comprehensive access to the NAS.

Use the trick described in https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/siglent-sds2000x-plus-bugs-missing-features-feature-requests/msg3776087/#msg3776087 for access using SMB3. It works well.
