User Guide

Mode 3

There is no network connection or local drive whatsoever. The data is accessed from a
USB drive via one of the DS5’s USB ports.

Advantage: No network connection or local hard drive is required. Set up is simple and
quick. Data can easily be exchanged by unplugging the USB drive and using a computer
to change the files.

Disadvantage: No remote update possible, and the USB drive has to be physically
removed if content needs to be updated.

USB Drive
To access the USB drive, simply connect it to one of the USB ports on DS5.

1. Turn on the device, then boot up DS5.

2. In the file library, you can now access the drive under USB1 or USB2, depending

on which port is used.

3. File systems supported at this time are FAT16 and FAT32.

Note: Self powered USB drives are recommended. If more than one bus powered USB
drive is connected, there might not be sufficient power to run the second drive.
