Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the USB Media Adapter. This product is specifically designed for
Small Office and Home Office needs, providing a reliable and centralized data storage solution.
With it you will be able to access your shared files from any desktop or laptop within your
network.
The USB Media Adapter is a convenient and economical solution for adding any USB storage
devices onto your LAN (Local Area Network). Once on the network, the USB storage can be
shared by any network user, just like an ordinary NAS device.
Come built-in with a USB 2.0 connection and a fast Ethernet 10/100Mbps connection, the USB
Media Adapter supports both SMB (Server Message Block) and the open source Samba
network protocols, allowing for cross-platform access of all shared data for most versions of
Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista, Mac OS X or above, and various Linux distributions. For remote
users who are not connected over the LAN, the NAS Adapter provides FTP access for up to 8
simultaneous users anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
