section 'Information on the Data Tank Gateway configuration pages'.
Installing USB mass storage devices
To add more disk space to the Data Tank Gateway, plug a USB mass storage device into
one of the USB host ports. Then turn on the external USB device. The disk space on theUSB
device should appear as a shared folder. When using SMB (Windows File Sharing), it may
take a few minutes until the Windows-based computer detects the new folder. If you are
using a browser (HTML) to view your files, you can click Refresh. This shared folder can
be accessed via FTP, HTML and SMB (Window File Sharing). The folder is configured with
read and write privileges for all users located in the master directory (/). Once the device
is attached, you can limit the user privileges. Please read the chapter on adding users and
groups and on setting folder rights.
Attention: Optical drives such as DVD writers can only be used to read
files and data.
Attention: When attaching a card reader, you need to insert the flash disk
before connecting it to the Data Tank Gateway.
