Accessing Your My Book Live Remotely The possible connectivity states include: Disabled-User has not selected the Enable Remote Access check box. Ready-User has not added a mobile device or has not registered for a web access account yet. Retrieving Information-Retrieving remote access connectivity status. Failed-My Book Live could not establish a remote access connection with the mobile device or web access account. Connecting-My Book Live is trying to connect to a mobile device or a registered web access account. Please wait. Connected-This is a direct, peer-to-peer connection, the desired state for better performance. Connected (Relay connection established)-The My Book Live drive attempts to configure the network to allow direct connections whenever possible. Some networks do not support the UPnP protocol, which My Book Live uses for those configurations. If you desire a direct connection instead of a relay, consult your router operating guide to determine UPnP compatibility. Additionally, some ISPs implement "double-NATing," which renders your router's IP address unreachable for direct connection (port forwarding). In this situation, consult your ISP for alternatives to enable port-forwarded connections. Setting Up Mobile Access Set up and manage mobile access to your photos, music, and documents, and videos on the My Book Live through an Apple or Android device. In the Mobile Access section of the Remote Access page, generate activation codes for the WD Photos or WD 2go apps installed on your mobile device from the Apple App Store or Android Market. Adding a Mobile Device Connection To add a mobile device connection to the My Book Live: 1. In the Configure section of the page, make sure that the Enable Remote Access check box remains selected and Connectivity Status is Ready or Connected. MY BOOK LIVE 101 USER MANUAL
