LinkStation Expansion
LinkStation Expansion Information
LinkStation has two USB 2.0 ports on it. These ports can be used for adding an external USB Hard
Drive or a USB Printer. LinkStation will then share the USB device to everyone on the network. There
is one port on the front of LinkStation and one port on the back of LinkStation. One printer and one
external USB Hard Drive can be added to either of the ports. However, two USB Printers or two USB
Hard Drives cannot be added, only one of each device. To connect a USB device to LinkStation,
simply plug it into one of the USB Ports and set it up in the LinkStation confi guration.
NOTE:
A USB printer can be added to either of the two USB Ports, but a USB Hard Drive
MUST
be
added to the rear USB Port. Thus, if you have a USB printer and a USB Hard Drive, the printer must
be plugged into the front USB Port.
