Chapter 6: LAN Connection Types of the Freecom Network Drive XS

6.1 Direct connection to a PC

Once the PC/Mac is setup as DHCP client as described in the chapter "Check TCP/IP Settings on PC/Mac" the user has to configure SMB Server and/or the FTP Server to work with the device via network connection.

We recommend using the USB connection when connecting the Freecom Network Drive XS to a single PC as the USB connection offers faster data transfer rates and easier access to the Freecom Network Drive XS.
