3. When MAC OS X is trying to connect N299, it will ask for a User Name and
Password which has access to the folder.

access the folder by double clicking on the icon.

USB Storage Expansion

The N299 supports external USB hard disks through its two USB ports. Once a
USB hard disk has been successfully mounted, users can access the files on the
USB hard disk under the USBHDD folder. The N299 supports up to 6 USB
external storage devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
Before attaching a USB disk drive to N299, you have to partition and format it on
a desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached device will be located at
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\usb1\1\ where 192.168.1.100 means the IP address
of N299, usb1 stands for the first USB device, and 1 stands for the first partition
on disk #1, the USB disk drive. If it is an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or
copy files from \\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\usb1\1 but cannot add new files or
modify existing files.
