Connecting Wi-Drive to a Computer
To add content to Wi-Drive, connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with the device. See Figure
7.1 below.
Figure 7.1 – Connecting
Wi-Drive to a computer
Loading Content onto Wi-Drive
When connected to a computer, Wi-Drive behaves like any
standard USB Flash drive, creating a data volume on your PC or
Mac (see Figure 7.2.). This volume allows you to populate Wi-Drive
with digital content that you can later share or access wirelessly via
the Wi-Drive application.
When copying content to Wi-drive, it is highly recommended that
you create folders on the data volume to help you organize and
quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content
of Wi-drive (as opposed to dumping all of your files onto the root
volume or into a single folder). For example, you may want to store
all of your music files in a folder called “My Music”, or keep all of
your photos in a separate folder called “My Pictures”, and so on.
When you are finished loading content, please safely3disconnect
Wi-Drive from your computer. This will automatically power the
device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the power button until
it turns green.
Figure 7.2 –Wi-Drive Volume on PC
(Note: While connected to your computer, Wi-Drive does not broadcast a wireless signal. Therefore you cannot
access it from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device in this state.)
3For Windows users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by right-clicking the USB icon in the right-hand corner of the taskbar and selecting
‘Safely Remove Hardware’. For Mac users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by dragging the volume icon to the trash can.

Connecting Wi-Drive over Wireless
Wi-Drive is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad or iPhone,
you will see ‘Wi-Drive’ in the list of available networks to join. By default, there is no password and when you
connect to it from your iOS device, you are establishing a dedicated link to Wi-Drive over that wireless signal.
Once you connect to Wi-Drive, you will substitute your iPad/iPhone’s Internet connection with Wi-Drive’s wireless
connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, Wi-Drive does provide a
bridging function that allows you to maintain access to Wi-Drive’s content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet
connection. See Accessing the Internet (Bridge Mode) on page 14.
Usage
Once you’re connected to the Wi-Drive’s network, you can begin accessing its content from your iPad, iPhone, or
iPod touch device by following these steps:
1. Open the Wi-Drive App on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device.
2. Tap the Wi-Drive icon (upper left corner of Wi-Drive App.)
3. Tap the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254). This will list the contents of your Wi-Drive.
4. Browse and select the media you wish to access. Only supported file types can be opened. See below.
A. The Files button displays all stored content on
the Wi-Drive regardless of type or extension. If
you created folders during the content upload
process on page 7, you will see them listed
first. Individual files are listed after the folders.
B. Buttons B, C, & D are all filter buttons and
display only the content associated with each
represented type. The photos button
represents photo/image file types. Wi-Drive
will search through all files and folders on the
device and display the supported image file
types.
C. The filmstrip button represents video file types.
will search through all files and folders on the
device and display the supported video file
types.
D. The musical note button represents music or
audio files. Wi-Drive will use this filter to
search through all files and folders for
supported music file types and display them.
E. The 'Gears' button allows you to access the Wi-
Drive’s configuration menu and network
settings.

Settings and Configurations
Using the Wi-Drive App, you can customize the wireless network settings for Wi-Drive. The default settings are:
Device Name: Wi-Drive, Visibility Status: ON,Wireless Channel: 11,and Security: None.
To access Wi-Drive’s Network Settings, please follow these steps:
1. Select the Wi-Drive icon on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device.
2. Select the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254).
3. Select the Wi-Drive settings icon (gears symbol.)
A. Device Name – commonly referred to as an SSID, or
Service Set IDentifier, this field allows you to specify a
device name (between 1 and 32 characters) that will
broadcast in the list of available wireless networks on your
iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device. The default name is
Wi-Drive as seen in Figure 13.1.
B. Visibility Status – this gives you the option to hide or
unhide the SSID specified in the ‘Device Name’ field. By
default, the visibility status is turned ‘ON’. If you wish to
turn this feature ‘OFF’, the device name will NOT be
broadcasted1in the list of available wireless networks on
your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device; however, you can
still join the Wi-Fi network by entering the device name
manually using the menu option, ‘Other…’.
C. Wi-Fi Channel – this setting allows you to select a specific
frequency channel used to communicate with other devices
on your wireless network. The default setting is Channel 11
(2.462 GHz.)
Figure 13.1 –Wi-Drive Network Settings
D. Security – this option helps prevent unauthorized access to your Wi-Drive by prompting users for a
password. Simply enter a password in the 'Password'field and confirm it by re-typing it in the 'Confirm
Password'field and tap the 'Done'button to save the Wi-Drive settings.
•WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) – User-defined password, must be exactly 13 characters in length
•WPA or WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – User-defined password, must be 8 to 13 characters in length
•Mixed – Combination of the other security protocols
1If the visibility status has been turned off, you can still join the Wi-Drive Wireless network by entering the SSID manually on your iPad,
iPhone, or iPod touch, as long as you know the ‘Device Name’ (Step A). Please note that a password will be required if the security option is
enabled.

Accessing the Internet (Bridge Mode)
Traditionally, the Wi-Fi antenna on your iPad or iPod touch device is used to access the Internet. The Wi-Drive,
however, uses the Wi-Fi antenna on your Apple device to stream content, which effectively disconnects your iOS
device from the Internet. Fortunately, Wi-Drive’s Wi-Fi antenna supports bi-directional traffic and can be used for
implementing a feature called Bridge Mode. This mode allows you to be connected to Wi-Drive while it is
connected to a Wi-Fi network (as a host client) that has access to the Internet.
To set up this feature and see a list of available wireless networks in your range, open the Wi-Drive App and
select settings. Under the ‘Network Connection’ section (Figure 12.1), tap on the Wi-Fi network you want to
connect to. After making your selection, Wi-Drive will prompt you for the Wi-Fi password (if security is enabled)
and reboot. If there is no password, the device will automatically reboot.
Once Wi-Drive has rebooted, you will be prompted to select a wireless network. You MUST select your Wi-Drive
network in order to maintain access to its contents. Since you’ve already connected to the network via Wi-Drive’s
App, there is no need to select it from the list again. If you do select it, you will be disconnected from Wi-Drive.
To verify that you have successfully enabled Bridge Mode:
1. Select the Wi-Drive App icon on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch
device.
2. Select the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254).
3. Select the settings icon (gear symbol, lower
right.)
4. Select the Network Connections
button.
When the list of wireless networks appear, you will notice a Wi-Fi
signal and ‘greater than’ symbol located to the right of the network you
selected in the Wi-Drive App. See Figure 14.1. This indicates that
the bridge function is working properly and you are connected to Wi-
Drive and the Internet at the same time.
So if you're streaming content from the Wi-Drive to your Apple device
and need to quickly look something up on-line, just open your Safari
browser and away you go.
