Appendix E Shared Folders and the USB Port

There are several restrictions on using the AirStation's USB port:
• Bus-powered hard drives are not supported. Always use the hard drive's AC adapter.
• When using two-byte characters (such as Japanese), keep folder and file names within 80
characters (160 bytes). You may not be able to copy a folder or a file whose name length is more
than 80 characters.
• The AirStation doesn't support hidden or read-only attributes for files and folders.
• 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 shared folder names, work group names and file names contain any of the following characters,
you may not access data or manipulate files on the AirStation properly. In such a case, use a different
character.
• 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 user name 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 disk may be updated by the OS accessing the
AirStation. File creation or access dates may not be maintained.
