Direct Copy - Buffalo LinkStation Pro LS-XHL User Manual

Direct Copy

You can copy digital media files directly to the LinkStation from a
USB storage device, such as a digital camera, USB flash drive, or
external hard disk.
1. Connect your USB device to the USB port on the back of the
LinkStation. The function button on the front of the unit
will glow blue for 60 seconds.
2. While the function button is still glowing blue, press it once.
A new folder yyyymmdd is created in the share folder, where yyyy
is the year, mm is the month, and dd is the day. All files from the
source USB device are copied to that folder. The function button
will flash during file transfer and turn off when it's done.
Before disconnecting the USB device from the LinkStation, it should
be dismounted. Hold the function button down until it glows blue,
and then turns off. It's now safe to unplug your USB device.
Note: Unplugging USB devices without dismounting them first may
corrupt your data!
