Showing Content Files That Are Stored on a USB Flash Drive

You can save supported media files to a USB flash drive, attach that drive to your DMP, then show the files on the attached DMP display.

Note Cisco has completed tests with 2 GB USB flash drives for this purpose and they work as described. However, we have not tested any flash drives that have a storage capacity any greater than 2 GB. In addition, we have not tested any other USB storage medium. We recommend that you do not use any USB flash drive that has a storage capacity any greater than 2 GB and we recommend that you do not use any other USB storage medium.
