2. In the Folder (or Path) box enter the
IP address of your Network Storage
Link, followed by Disk 1 using this
format:

\\IP address\Disk 1

.

For example:

\\192.168.1.77\Disk 1

between “Disk” and “1” in the IP address.

Note: Reconnect at logon is automatically selected. This means that every time you logon in the
future, you will automatically be connected to your OneTouch drive. You will find it alongside your
computer’s main disks (C and D, for example) in the My Computer window.

3. Click Finish.

Windows will search the available networks for your Network Storage Link and a window will
open displaying the contents of the Disk 1 directory on your OneTouch drive.

Note: Two directories are automatically created for you on your OneTouch Drive. The Admin 1
directory is set up for only the administrator to use and will require a User ID and Password to be
entered by any user accessing it from a computer other than the administrator’s. The Disk 1
directory, however, does not require a User ID or Password. You may create password-protected
directories for additional users. See Chapter 6: “Configuring the Storage Link” in the Linksys
User Guide for more information.

Your OneTouch drive is now ready for use as a networked drive. You may drag and drop files to
it, just like a normal hard drive.
