Chapter 2 - Getting Started
Sharing files on the ASUS Wireless WL-HDDThe ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" is primarily designed to help you share data, music, video, or other files over the wireless LAN. You can set up this device in your house, office, or dormitory, such that anyone can access media files from it using a wireless connection. In order to share data from the ASUS Wireless WL-HDD, you must access the hard disk drive using a valid user name. See “Editing the User List” for more details about creating users. If you want to copy any data to the hard drive, the destination folder or partition must be write-enabled. Make sure that the access rights (see “Editing the Shared Nodes List”) are set to Share – on and Write – on and then copy data to the drive.
Transferring Data from External Flash MemoryThe ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD" supports USB flash disks or external flash memory cards through a USB connection to enable you to transfer data. The device copies data automatically from the flash memory to the hard disk when inserted into the USB slot.
Auto-copy FunctionTo transfer data automatically from the flash memory, connect the USB flash memory disk to the USB port of the ASUS Wireless "WL-HDD". Alternatively, to transfer the contents of other types of flash memory cards such as CF, SD, MMC, and so on, insert the card into an external card reader (not supplied) and connect it to the USB port using a USB cable.
The device copies the contents of the memory disk automatically to the hard disk. The USB light blinks quickly when copying data.
The data from the USB flash memory is copied to a folder named USBpartxxx, where xxx is a number from 001 to 999 indicating the order in which the data was transferred.
Notes: When copying data automatically from a flash disk, the first partition – part1 – is used first. All the data is copied as long as there is free space in the first partition.
