Note: If the BT Downloader is turned on but can not acquire an IP address, it

Ethernet cable is connected properly and the BT Downloader has access to the
local network to acquire the IP address.

sound.

Shut Down Procedure
To turn off the BT Downloader, stopall current downloads, then turn off the power using
the ON/OFF switch. Once the system has shut down,remember also turning off the power
to your USB drives.
USB File System
To use the file and user management as well as the BitTorrent™ function, we strongly
recommend formatting one drive using the XFS file system. Other drives connected to the
BT Download can either use FAT 32, allowing both read and write access, or
NTFS which only allows read access. For optimum performance and functionality, we
recommend using XFS.

of your device once it is connected to the network,there are several different ways as
described on the following pages.

you to access the web configuration interface with a simple click of your mouse. You may
also use the same utility at a later point to map the network drive after you setup your
shares.

your computer.
