Linkstation Expansion - Buffalo LinkStation HD-HG160LAN User Manual

LinkStation Expansion

LinkStation has two USB 2.0 ports on it, one on the front and one on the rear. These ports
can be used for adding an external USB Hard Drive or a USB Printer, allowing everyone on the
network to share the USB device. One printer or one external USB Hard Drive can be added
to either of the ports. If you install both a printer and a USB hard drive, the printer must be
plugged into the front USB port and the hard drive into the rear USB port. You may not install
two USB Printers or two USB Hard Drives on a single Linkstation, only one of each device. To
connect a USB device to LinkStation, plug it into one of the USB Ports and then enable it in the
LinkStation configuration tool.
