11.1.2 What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
Workgroup name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources
such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a
network.
Shares
When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the GPON Device is given a folder,
called a “share”. If a USB hard drive connected to the GPON Device has more than one partition,
then each partition will be allocated a share. You can also configure a “share” to be a sub-folder or
file on the USB device.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file sharing
feature on your GPON Device supports File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32.
Common Internet File System
The GPON Device uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions.
CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the GPON Device.
CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer
to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility).
