Xircom 925-609-7550 manual External Hard Disk Drive

The multi-function printer was also tested with wireless scanning and reading data from the built-in card reader.

EXTERNAL HARD DISK DRIVE

A Maxtor OneTouch™ Mini III hard drive was connected to the Wireless USB device adapter and the following scenarios were tested:

Wired vs. Wireless throughput comparison. Moving 1GB of data (a folder containing video files) from the PC to the hard drive took 180 seconds with the adapter set over the Wireless USB link, vs. 48 seconds with wired USB.

Link disconnect/connect. Exiting the room with the laptop forced the wireless link to disconnect. Then, after

entering the room, the link was automatically re-established and the disk was again available—without any user involvement.

Automatic backup. The EasyManage™ software provided with the Maxtor disk, together with the OneTouch backup, enabled entering the room with the laptop, automatically being connected to the hard disk drive, and receiving a popup message on the need to backup a new file that was added to the PC but was not moved yet to the hard disk.

In this usage scenario, the wireless connectivity enables a more user friendly backup process, which is initiated automatically. In addition, backup is performed in small increments, each time new data is added to the PC, without the need to physically connect to the hard disk each time.
