AFP File Sharing for Macs
The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) enables Apple file sharing, which is the preferred method for Mac users to
access Shares on the px6-300d. When AFP is enabled, you can use Time Machine to back up a Mac client
computer to your px6-300d Network Storage. See

destination Share on the px6-300d.
Configuring Bluetooth settings

attempting to upload data using Bluetooth.
