Auto Share
This option is used to configure the Auto Sharing feature
of USB File Sharing. Auto Sharing enables ‘plug and play’
of USB drives into the Bright Box.
Select ‘Enable’ to enable auto sharing of USB drives. When
a compatible (NTFS, FAT16 or FAT32) drive is connected
to the router, the drive will automatically appear in the
Network section of Windows or the Finder for Mac OS X.
Select ‘Disable’ to switch off the automatic sharing of USB
drives. When a compatible drive is connected to the
router, the drive will not be added to the Network section
of Windows or the Finder for Mac OS X. You can still share
a drive with Auto Share disabled, but you must manually
configure the individual sharing settings for the drive in
the Advanced Set-Up > USB File Sharing page.
Workgroup Name
This field is used to configure the Windows Workgroup
that the shared USB drive belongs to. By default the
workgroup associated with the USB drive is called
‘Workgroup’. This is the standard workgroup name for
Windows XP (Professional), Windows Vista and Windows 7.
If you’ve changed your workgroup name in Windows, you
may need to change the Workgroup Name field to match
your Windows workgroup in order to access the USB drive
over the network.
Note that for Windows XP Home Edition the workgroup
name is often ‘Mshome’, so it may be necessary to change
the Workgroup Name field to ‘Mshome’ to share the USB
drive.
