Chapter 12 - Shared Folders and the USB Port

There are several restrictions on using the AirStation's USB port:
• When using two-byte characters (such as Japanese), keep folder and file names within 80
characters. You may not be able to copy a folder or a file whose name length is more than 80
characters.
• You cannot set attributes (hidden or read-only) for folders or files on the AirStation.
• When using access restrictions, you can register up to 16 users for the AirStation.
• Please note that you are not allowed to use any of the following words as a user or group name:
adm, administrator, all, bin, daemon, disk, ftp, guest, halt, hdusers, kmen, lp, mail, man, news,
nobody, nogroup, none, operator, root, shadow, shutdown, sshd, sync, sys, ttyusers, utmp, uucp,
www.
• Please note that you are not allowed to use any of the following words as a shared folder name:
global, homes, printers, bittorrent, disk1_pt1, disk1_pt2, disk1_pt3, disk1_pt4, disk2_pt1, disk2_
pt2, disk2_pt3, disk2_pt4, disk3_pt1, disk3_pt2, disk3_pt3, disk3_pt4, disk4_pt1, disk4_pt2, disk4_
pt3, disk4_pt4.
• If a file created on a Macintosh contains any of the following characters, it will not be displayed
correctly under Windows OS. Also, you cannot copy or properly display a file when connecting via
SMB from Mac OS X if it contains any of these characters:
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : " , | *
• Cancelling or aborting a file copy may leave the file incomplete, and you may no longer be able
to delete the incomplete file. This can also happen during a power outage or if the LAN cable is
suddenly disconnected. If it happens, restart the AirStation, delete the file, and try copying the file
again.
• Use the same username and password for the AirStation as the user's Windows login. If they
are different, the user may not be able to access shared folders with access restrictions on the
AirStation.
• Date and time stamps stored on the USB hard drive may be updated by the OS accessing the
AirStation. File creation or access dates may not be maintained.
• If you view the size of a hard drives on the browser, it shows a bigger value than when you see it in
Windows' drive properties. This is because the browser shows the size of the drive in gigabytes but
Windows shows it in gibibytes.
