USB Drive Requirements
The gateway works with most USB-compliant external flash and hard drives. For the most
up-to-date list of USB drives that the gateway supports, visit

computer before the computer can access the USB device. Such USB devices do not work
with the gateway.

Access a USB Drive on the Network
ReadySHARE lets you access and share a USB drive connected to the gateway USB port. (If
your USB drive uses special drivers, it is not compatible.)
To connect a USB drive:
Insert your USB storage drive into the USB port on the rear panel of the gateway.
If your USB drive uses a power supply, you must use it when you connect the USB drive
to the gateway.
