Chapter 7: Tips and Tricks
USB Storage Expansion
The ALL6501 supports external USB hard disks through its USB 2.0 ports. Once a USB hard
disk has successfully mounted, the entire volume will be copied automatically to the default
USB HDD folder. All file names on the USB disk volume are case sensitive.
Before attaching an USB disk drive to ALL6501, you have to partition and format it on a
desktop computer or a notebook first. The attached USB storage device will be located at
\\ALL6501
IP address\usbhdd\USB3
where the IP address of ALL6501 and
sdf1 stands
for the first partition on disk #6,
the USB disk drive. If it is an NTFS partition, NAS users can
only open or copy files from
\\ALL6501
IP address\usbhdd\USB3, but cannot add new files
or modify existing files.
Remote Administration
You can set up your ALL6501 for remote administration. With remote administration, you can
access your ALL6501 over the Internet, even if your ALL6501 is behind a router. This is
especially useful if you are traveling and suddenly need a file from your ALL6501.
Setting up remote administration is a three-part process, and will require the following
equipment:
•
ALLNET ALL6501 NAS device
•
Cable/DSL Router with Dynamic DNS support
•
Home PC
•
Internet Connection
