Your device supports USB disks and printers. If you want to use a USB device
then you should plug the USB cable into your AirTies device.
The USB DEVICES menu will show the status of USB devices attached.
If a USB disk is attached then you should see the disk appear under USB Storage
Media. The partition, file system, size and free space is shown.
If you want to remove the disk then you should click the green icon on the
left hand side.. This will safely disconnect your USB drive and allow you to
disconnect. Warning: Never physically disconnect storage media without
safely removing it first.
A shortcut for the disk will be displayed. Clicking this shortcut from Windows
PCs will open up the USB disk in an explorer folder. The USB disk is also
accessible from AirTies Network Assistant (see above).
If a USB printer is attached to your USB port then you should see the printer
model name displayed under USB printers.
Printers can be configured using AirTies Network Assistant.
The network and access settings can be configured in the Network and Access
Settings menu.
The Windows workgroup name, hostname and description of the USB shared

gave changed the default workgroup name on your Windows PC. The host
name is the name used on the network to access the storage.
The access rights for the disk can be configured for all users. Read only access
means users will not be able to write to the disk. Full access means that all
users will be able to read and write to the disk. Not Shared means that the disk

Media Server

Air 4420-TV products contain a Media Server. The Media Server will share
videos, music and photos from a USB disk attached to the Air 4420's USB port.
Media can be viewed on a DLNA / UPnP AV compatible Media Player by locating
the media server named Air4420 and browsing and playing the contents.
Media Server can be configured from the Web interface of your device:
1. Go to the "MEDIA SERVER" menu of your device. From here you can enable
or disable the Media Server. By default the Media Server is enabled.
2. Click "Save" to complete the Media Server settings for your device.
Note that the Media Server requires a USB disk to be inserted into the USB
port of your device otherwise the service will not be enabled.
The contents of the drive can be managed using AirTies Network Assistant or
via a network path (see USB Devices instructions). Any new media placed on
the drive will be shared by the Media Server.
The files that can be played on your Media Player depends upon the codec and
file container support offered by your Media Player. Please consult your Media
Player's documentation for a list of codecs and file containers that it supports.
