File Server - Siemens gigaset SE551 Owner's Manual

Configuring the Advanced Settings

File server

Your device's integrated file server allows you to make folders and files on a connected
USB bulk memory (e.g. USB stick or USB hard disk) available to all users in your local net-
work.
ì
Connect a USB data carrier to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable via the USB port.
Note:
The USB interface of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable supplies 500 –1000 mA
of power. This depends on which other lines are connected. Some hard disks need
more power. In this case the device must have its own mains adapter.
ì
In the Advanced Settings menu, select File Server.
ì
Select the On option for the File Server.
Enter a name for the file server in the Host name field. This is shown in the network
environment of each computer in your local network and allows users to find your
file server.
If you assign a name other than Server (e.g. the IP address of the Gigaset SE551
WLAN dsl/cable), then the file server will appear in the Windows directory Network
environment both under the name Server and under the name you have assigned.
ì
You can enter a Description of the file server in the next field.
