File & Printer Sharing / Audio/Video Playback - Buffalo AirStation WZR-RS-G54 User Manual

The Shared Files icon on the Network Service List gives you access to a PC or network
device's shared fi les and printers. For Windows PC's, File and Printer sharing must be
setup properly before this service will work. On Network Storage Centers like Buffalo's
LinkStation, the Shared Files icon should work with little to no confi guration. Please consult
your Windows documentation to learn more about setting up File and Printer Sharing.
After clicking on the Shared Files icon you will see the available
shared fi les and printers.
Printing: To print you can right click on a shared printer and press
the 'Connect' button to install it as a printer on your computer.
You can also drag a document, image, or text fi le directly over the
printer share and it will connect to the printer and print it. Thus, you
can drag a Microsoft Word Document over the shared printer and it
will print out on the printer in the remote location.
Files: To access fi les, double click on the fi le or folder icon just like
you would on your local machine. Files can be moved, copied, and
renamed normally as well.
Audio/Video Playback*: To play audio or video fi les through
shared fi les just double click on the audio or video fi le you would
like to play or select multiple fi les and create a playlist.
* Streaming audio or video over the internet requires an internet connection suffi cient
enough to move the necessary amount of data. For instance, to stream a 128kbps
MP3, a 150k or greater internet connection would need to be present on the remote
and local side. Video often requires a faster internet connection. Most broadband
DSL/Cable connections will have no problem streaming audio and most video fi les.
