USB Storage

Mobile Voice HSPA+ Broadband 11n Wireless Router MVBR1210C

A few common uses are described in the following sections.

Share Photos with Friends and Family

You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This eliminates

the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.

 To share files with your friends and family:

1. Insert your USB

drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable.

Computers on your local area network (LAN) can access this USB drive using a web

browse

r or Microsoft Networking.

2. If

you want to specify read-only access, or to allow access from the Internet, see Configure

USB Storage Advanced Settings o

n page 46.

Store Files in a Central Location for Printing

This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a

computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print

server:

• Th

e family’s color printer is directly attached to the mother’s computer.

• Th

e daughter has some photos on her Macintosh computer that she wants to print.

• Th

eir computers are not visible to each other on the network.

 To print her photos on the color printer:

1. The da

ughter types \\readyshare in the address field of her web browser.

This gives her access to the USB drive in the router.

2. She copies the photo

s from the Mac to the router USB drive.

3. Th

e mother uses a web browser or Microsoft Networking to transfer the files from the USB

drive to her computer. Then she prints the files.

Share Large Files with Colleagues

Sending files larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The router

allows you to share very large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files with

colleagues at another site. Rather than tying up their mail systems will large files, your

colleagues can use FTP to easily download shared files from the router.

 To share files with a remote colleague:

1. T

o protect your network, set up security. Create a user name and password for the

colleague with appropriate access.

2. If

you want to limit USB drive access to read-only access, from the router USB Storage

(Basic Settings) screen, click Edit a Network folder. In the Write Access field, select admin,

and then click Apply.
