Using the Configuration Menu (continued)
Home > File Sharing
The following window and explanation describes how to set up your DI-624S as a file-sharing server. Using Samba technology, the router will be able to share files between computers with little regard to the operating system in use on a computer that has been given access to this file sharing service. The file sharing service is implemented using either or both of the two USB ports at the back of the router. You may attach any sort of USB file sharing device to these ports, such as a network attached storage device, a portable hard drive or even a USB flash memory stick. The USB ports are hot swappable so you can change storage devices at any time without powering off the router.
To set up the DI-624S as a file server, the user needs to configure four parts associated with this window. Each part has a corresponding radio button and when clicked, will open up to a new window to configure.
1.The Server Setup window is used to configure the settings for the DI-624S as a server.
2.The User Setup window is used to configure users who will want to access the information through the router.
3.The Group Setup window is used to configure sets of users who have similar access rights into groups for better management.
4.Finally, the Share Setup window is used to define users and groups privileges when accessing the file share through the router.
See the following explanation for a better understand of how to configure the file-sharing feature of this device.
