USB Device Requirements
The extender works with most USB-compliant external flash and hard drives. For the
most up-to-date list of USB devices that the extender supports, visit

devices do not work with the extender.

Connect a USB Storage Device to the
Extender
ReadySHARE lets you access and share USB storage devices that are connected to the
appropriate extender port. (If your USB storage device uses special drivers, it is not
compatible.)
To connect a USB device:
1. Insert your USB storage device into a USB port on your extender.
2. If your USB storage device uses a power supply, connect it.
You must use the power supply when you connect the USB storage device to the
extender.
When you connect the USB storage device to the extender USB port, it might take
up to two minutes before it is ready for sharing. By default, the USB storage device
is available to all computers on your local area network (LAN).
