Configuration and Management
Note: Only the first partition of the storage device will be automatically
mounted and shared through the smb service.
The file system on a shared partition needs to be of a supported type;
otherwise the automatic mounting of the device will not work. Currently the
supported types are:
• FAT; Microsoft legacy file system from MS-DOS with 8.3 character
filename
• FAT32; Microsoft Windows 95 file system based on FAT but with long
file name
• ext2; Second extended file system, the standard Linux file system.
• ext3; Like ext2, but with journaling support.
When a storage device is connected to the USB port on the Ericsson W3x,
information about the device is displayed in the “SHARED STORAGE
DEVICES” section on the Sharing page. If this page is open when you
connect the device, a refresh of the page may be required for the new
information to be displayed.
