Setup Steps for BlackArmor Users

10.If you have access to more than one share, continue to find and map additional shares as needed.

Note: You can map as many public and private shares as you need to. However, to map more than one private share, each private share must have the same log on credentials.

11.Save your files to shares that can be accessed by other people on your local network or over the Web.

12.(Optional) Create a full backup of your important files, or set up recurring backups, using BlackArmor Backup (see page 49).

13.(Optional) If a USB printer has been connected to the BlackArmor server, add it to your list of available printers, following your computer’s operating system instructions.

14.(Optional) If your BlackArmor administrator has enabled the iTunes service on the server and you have access to the share where the music files are stored, install iTunes on your computer and begin streaming music, following the iTunes instructions.

15.(Optional) If your BlackArmor administrator has enabled Global Access on the server, sign up for a free Global Access account so you can access your BlackArmor server files over the Web. See “Creating a Seagate Global Access Account” on page 25.
