Maximum Performance Wireless-N Router

Linksys E4200 Chapter 2: Advanced Configuration

Storage > Disk

The router’s USB port lets you connect USB storage that

can be accessed over your network.

When you connect a USB storage device to the router’s

USB port, you can access its content without a password

via Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. For more

information, go to Appendix B: How to Install and Access

USB Storage, “Overview” on page 49.

The options on the various Storage screens are available

when a USB storage device is connected to the USB port

of the router. The Disk screen describes the USB disk

currently attached to the router. Use this screen to create

shared folders, safely remove a disk, or format a disk (any

data on the disk will be deleted during formatting).

You can use shared folders to manage network access

to the contents on the disk. You can specify individual

folders that you want to share, or you can share the

entire partition. Each shared folder created on the Disk

screen has a unique name (Display Name), is mapped to

a physical folder on the disk, and specifies access rights to

that folder.

Access rights are managed by group and user accounts

that you can create on the Storage > Administration screen

(go to “Storage > Administration” on page 29). Each user

has his or her own login and belongs to a group. Each

group has either read-and-write or read-only access rights.

NOTE: By default, all content on the disk

can be accessed without a password. If you

want to specify which groups can access

the shared folders, select Disabled for the

Anonymous Disk Access option. Go to “Storage

> Administration” on page 29.

Storage > Disk

Disk Management

If a formatted disk is connected to the router, then its name

is displayed. For each partition of the disk, the Partition,

File System, Capacity, and Free Space information are

displayed.

Safely Remove Disk Before you physically disconnect a

USB disk from the router, click Safely Remove Disk first.

NOTE: Use the Safely Remove Disk option to

prevent the possible loss or corruption of data,

which may occur if you remove the disk while it

is transferring data.

Create Share To create a shared folder, click this option

for the appropriate partition. Go to “Create a Shared

Folder” on page 24.

USB Port Speed

USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 The USB type of the connected disk

is displayed. The USB 1.1 standard supports speeds up

to 12 Mbps. The USB 2.0 standard supports speeds up to

480Mbps.

Shared Folder

Device Name (Disk) The Device Name (or NetBIOS

name) of the router is displayed. The default is Cisco

followed by the last 5 digits of the router’s serial number,

which is found on the bottom of the router. If you used

the setup software for installation, then the Device Name

is the name of your wireless network (up to 15 characters).

Shared Disk IP Address The IP address of the disk is

displayed.

Summary To view a list of shared folders, click this option.

Go to “Shared Folders Summary” on page 24.

The Shared Folder table lists the shared folders with

the following information: Display Name, Partition, and

Shared Folder location.
