-
Yes, the easy to install drivers need to be loaded on each PC that needs access to NetDisk. This is
unless you are using Windows Sharing. Then only one computer will have to have the software
installed. The others will not need it.
Where can I purchase NetDisk™?
-
Currently, NetDisk can be purchased at Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, CompUSA, PCMall, and
TigerDirect. For locations nearest you, contact [email protected]
What type of service and warranty does NetDisk™ come with?
-
NetDisk™ comes with a one year limited warranty. Please note that if the device has been opened or
tampered with in any way, the warranty will is void.
USB
What USB version is NetDisk™ supported on?
-
NetDisk™ is supported on USB 1.1 and 2.0, but 2.0 is recommended.
Is the NetDisk™ application required to use USB?
-
No, just make sure that the dip switches on the back of the NetDisk™ are in the up position. Make sure
that NetDisk is powered off before changing dip switch settings.
Wireless
I would like to use wireless with my NetDisk™; is this possible?
-
Yes it is possible, but XIMETA recommends that you use an 802.11a or 802.11g router. 802.11b will
work, but because it is only 11mbps, transfer can take extremely long because of the low bandwidth, you
may see errors. If using an 802.11b router or card, we recommend that you plug your computer directly
into an unused port on your wireless router or switch with an Ethernet cable when doing large file
transfers.
-
Currently there are compatibility issue when used with various DLINK, SMC and USRobotics 802.11b
products. We are working to find a solution. NetDisk does work fine when used with their 802.11g
wireless products. You may also experience problems when used with Wireless Bridges due to the way
that they operate.
