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.
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 EMG6765-Q10A supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT) and
FAT32 file systems.
Windows/CIFS
Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems in order
to share files across the network.
CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft Windows for
file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web browsers, to open and
share files across the Internet.
The EMG6765-Q10A 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 EMG6765-Q10A. CIFS
protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your
systems specifications for CIFS compatibility).
Samba
SMB is a client-server protocol used by Microsoft Windows systems for sharing files, printers, and so on.
Samba is a free SMB server that runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems. It provides an implementation of
an SMB client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems.
File Transfer Protocol
This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the Internet.
23.4 Before You Begin
Make sure the EMG6765-Q10A is connected to your network and turned on.
1
Connect the USB device to one of the EMG6765-Q10A’s USB ports.
2
The EMG6765-Q10A detects the USB device and makes its contents available for browsing. If you are
connecting a USB hard drive that comes with an external power supply, make sure it is connected to an
appropriate power source that is on.
Note: If your USB device cannot be detected by the EMG6765-Q10A, see the troubleshooting
for suggestions.
