•Access to the files is performed through the web interface. Contents of the root directory are shown on the home page. You can download files as you would any file on the web (right-click and Save target as).
•To upload a file, click Browse, select a file, and then click Upload.
•Files and directories may be deleted using the Delete button situated to their right.
When emulating a floppy disk or RAM Disk, the data is stored in RAM on the SV441DUSBI itself. In order to emulate a CD-ROM disk drive, a web server is required to provide the CD-ROM image data. The Web server must be accessible to the unit, which communicates with it constantly as data is needed.
Floppy mode: Choose the Format as floppy button to switch to floppy mode. Under Windows, the drive will be identified as a “high density floppy” and will typically be assigned a drive letter of B:
The capacity is limited to 1.44 megabytes in this mode. The purpose of supporting floppy mode is to permit the use of floppy-disk images generated by other systems (e.g. the flash BIOS upgrade process is performed with a special floppy and is bootable, emergency repair disks are often floppy-based etc.). You can transfer bits from that floppy to the SV441DUSBI (use the upload disk image form) and boot from the special floppy.
CD-ROM Mode:The SV441DUSBI does not store any data in this mode. Instead, it emulates a USB CD-ROM drive with a disk inserted. The data from that disk must be provided by an external web server. You will need a copy of the CD-ROM contents that you want to emulate as an ISO file. This is a byte-for-byte copy of track one (the data track) of a data CD- ROM. The ISO file must be made available on a web server that can be accessed by SV441DUSBI. To switch to this mode, type in a URL pointing to the ISO image, and click on Commit. The system will connect to the web server and test the file for access. If successful, you will be shown a short report on the file contents, and the disk will be ready to use.
Please note that the only way to preview or browse the contents of the CD-ROM image, is from the host.
