USB Device Setup

Setup > USB Settings > USB Status
The D-Link Services Router has a USB interface for printer access, file sharing and
on the DSR-1000 / DSR-1000N models, 3G modem support. There is no configuration
on the GUI to enable USB device support. Upon inserting your USB storage device,
printer cable or 3G modem the DSR router will automatically detect the type of
connected peripheral.

USB Mass Storage: also referred to as a "share port", files on a USB disk
connected to the DSR can be accessed by LAN users as a network drive.

USB Printer: The DSR can provide the LAN with access to printers connected
through the USB. The printer driver will have to be installed on the LAN host
and traffic will be routed through the DSR between the LAN and printer.

USB 3G modem: A 3G modem dongle can be plugged in and used as a secondary
WAN. Load balancing, auto-failover, or primary WAN access can be configured
through the 3G interface.
