The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.

12.1.2.1 About File Sharing

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.

When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the VDSL Router is given a folder,

called a “share”. If a USB hard drive connected to the VDSL Router has more than one partition,

then each partition will be allocated a share. You can also configure a “share” to be a sub-folder or

file on the USB device.

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 VDSL Router supports File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32.

Common Internet File System

The VDSL Router 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 VDSL Router.
