File Server

OpenRG can operate as a file server for either internal disks, connected via IDE, or external storage devices, connected via USB or FireWire. Your home-network's LAN devices can share this storage device as a mapped network drive, and exchange information without directly accessing each other. The Web-based Management provides disk management utilities such as partitioning and formatting.

An internal disk or a connected storage device will appear on the network map, as depicted in figure 11.69.

You can access the file server settings directly by clicking the disk drive icon on the network map. The 'File Server Disk Information' screen will appear (see figure 11.70).

Alternatively, click the 'File Server' icon from the 'Advanced' screen of the Web-based Management. The file server screen will appear (see figure 11.71). Click the disk drive link under the 'Description' column in the 'File Server Disks' section to view the above settings screen.
