Chapter 4: Manage External Disks
Before sharing USB Station 2 with your users, you need to set up storage spaces first.
This chapter explains how to access external disks connected to USB Station 2, and check their status.
Manage External Disks
You can attach external USB disks to the USB port of your USB Station 2 for backup or file sharing purposes.
Go to Main Menu > Control Panel > External Devices to manage the attached external disks.
To attach an external disk:
1 Connect an external USB disk to the USB port of your USB Station 2.
2 A new shared folder named "usbshare [number]" will be created automatically and ready for access.
Note:
When more than 1 external USB disk is connected, usbshare2, usbshare3 … will be created.
USB Station 2 recognizes the following format: EXT4, EXT3, FAT, FAT32, and NTFS. Any unrecognized USB disk
will have to be formatted first before being used on the system.
To get the information of the disk:
You can access disk information by clicking Get Info.
To eject or format an external disk:
Click Eject or Format.
Note:
For more information about external disks, see its help by clicking the Help button (with a question mark) at the
top-right corner.
You can also manage USB printer here. See "Set USB Station 2 as Print Server" on Page 63 for more information.
