Share Photos
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This method
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
To share files with your friends and family:
1.
Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the modem router either directly or with a
USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive
using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.
2.
If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see
Storage Device Network and Access Settings
Store Files in a Central Location for Printing
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print
server.
•
One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
•
The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a computer, but not shared on the
network.
•
The Mac and computer are not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a computer:
1.
On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2.
On the computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB
drive to the computer. Then print the files.
Share Large Files over the Internet
Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The
modem router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files
over the Internet. FTP can be used to download shared files from the modem router.
Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:
•
There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one
that you use to access the modem router. By default, it is password. The guest user
account has no password.
•
On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the
password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.)
•
Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced
Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files.
