Mounting A Flash Device On The Wireless Controller - Siemens SCALANCE WLC711 Maintenance Manual

Flash Device File System Format
All flash devices used with the controller must be formatted in FAT32. Only the first partition of the
flash device is used by the controller.
Controller software can operate (backup, restore, delete, etc.) only with files located in the root
directory on the flash drives. In other words, it cannot operate with files located under directories.
Wireles controllers equipped with multiple USB connectors support only one USB device at a time,
regardless of what USB connector the device is connected to. If you connect a second USB device
while the first is already connected, the system will return an error.
Notice
Ensure all flash devices used with the controller are formatted to be non-bootable. Otherwise, the
controller may experience difficulties when rebooting if connected to a bootable formatted flash
device.
