Chapter 6: Tips and Tricks

USB Storage Expansion

The N2200 supports external USB hard disks through its four USB ports. Once a USB
hard disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be linked automatically
to the default USB HDD folder. The N2200 supports up to 6 USB external storage
devices. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
Before attaching an USB disk drive to N2200, 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\sdf1 where 192.168.1.100 means the IP address of
N2200 and sdf1 stands for the first partition on disk #6, the USB disk drive. If it is
an NTFS partition, NAS users can open or copy files from
\\192.168.1.100\usbhdd\sdf1 but cannot add new files or modify existing files.
NOTE
