CHAPTER 14 USB Service 14.1 Overview The Device has a USB port used to share files via a USB memory stick or a USB hard drive. In the USB Service screens, you can enable file-sharing server, media server, and printer server. 14.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter • Use the File Sharing screen to enable file-sharing server (Section 14.2 on page 206). • Use the Media Server screen to enable or disable the sharing of media files (Section 14.3 on page 208). • Use the Printer Server screen to enable the print server (Section 14.4 on page 209). 14.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter. 14.1.2.1 About File Sharing Workgroup name This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network. Shares When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the Device is given a folder, called a "share". If a USB hard drive connected to the Device has more than one partition, then each partition will be allocated a share. You can also configure a "share" to be a sub-folder or file on the USB device. File Systems A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file sharing feature on your Device supports File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32. Common Internet File System The Device uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the Device. CIFS VMG4380-B10A / VMG4325-B10A User's Guide 205
