Chapter 9: Attaching external USB devices

9.1 USB external device information

Information on attached external USB mass storage devices can be found in the information section of the FSG-3 configuration pages. The USB information is located under the Devices heading:

9.2 USB Mass storage installation

To add additional storage to the FSG-3, please plug a USB mass storage device (either flash disk (by using a card reader), hard disk or optical drive) to one of the USB host ports. Then switch on the external USB device. The storage on the USB device should show up as a shared folder. If you are using SMB (windows file sharing) this can take up to several minutes before your windows computer is aware there is a new folder. If you are using a browser (HTML) to see your files, you can press refresh.

This shared folder can be reached via FTP, HTML and SMB (Windows file sharing). The folder will be mounted with read and write rights for all in the root directory

(/). You can set more restrictive rights after the device is connected. Please read the chapter on user and group creation and setting folder rights.

Attention: Optical drives (e.g. DVD writers) can only be used as read-only devices!

Attention: when connecting a card reader, the flash disk has to be inserted in the card reader before connecting the card reader to the FSG-3!
