Access a Storage Device That Is Connected
to the Extender From a Mac
From a computer or device on the network, you can access a storage device that is
connected to the extender.
To access the device from a Mac:
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).
3. On a Mac that is connected to the network, select Go > Connect to Server.
4. In the Server Address field, enter smb://readyshare.
5. When prompted, select the Guest radio button.
If you set up access control on the extender and you allowed your Mac to access the
network, select the Registered User radio button and enter admin for the name
and password for the password. For more information about access control, see
View connected devices on page 24.
6. Click the Connect button.
