*Caution!

 

The upgrade process takes several minutes. Do not turn off the DiskGO 

while the upgrade is in progress! Doing so could corrupt the DiskGO software, making it 
impossible for the DiskGO to boot or to upgrade the firmware in the future. If you do 
accidentally turn off the DiskGO while the upgrade is in progress, contact EDGE 
technical support for help (www.edgetechcorp.com/support). 

 

 
ALERTS LOGGING 

This section allows the user to receive emails if an error occurs within the DiskGO 3.5” 
Network Hard Drive.  First check the 

E-mail Notification Enabled 

box at the top of the 

page.  Next enter the SMTP server address in the 

Error Handling SMTP Server 

box.  

The SMTP server is a server that accepts incoming e- mail for routing to its intended 
recipient.  This is usually NOT the same as any part of the email address; it is a server 
that is used for all addresses.  Usually, your ISP will provide the server name.  The name 
of the SMTP server is also required by your e- mail client program such as Outlook or 
Eudora..  If you are uncertain what your SMTP server address is, try looking at your 
email client settings and use the same address.  Once the address is set the DiskGO will 
email the listed email addresses if an error should occur within the device .  To test, click 
on the 

Send Test E-Mail 

button. 

 
To set Pop-Up notifications, check the 

Pop-Up Notification Enabled 

box.  Next, enter 

the Windows Network ID names of the computers that you wish to receive the message.  
Please note that pop- up messages must be enabled on each machine in order fo r them to 
receive the message.  Windows messaging is turned off by default on Windows XP. 

 
WINDOWS SETUP 

On the Windows Setup page, you can set up how the DiskGO 3.5” Network Hard Drive 
participates in a Windows environment: 

• 

Workgroup Member mode

 (default)  

• 

Domain Member mode

  

• 

Primary Domain Controller 

(PDC) mode  

Note: 

The available settings on the Windows Setup page depend on the type of mode that 

is selected. 
 

Workgroup Member Mode  

In Workgroup mode there are two options for limiting share access to important data: 

• Password-based share access (PBSA) 
• User-based share access (UBSA).
