File sharing Configuration

To activate this feature, please make sure:

The Product is connected to the network;

The network is properly set up. For more information on this part,

please refer to “Step 2” in “Setting up The Product” section, and
“Network” under “Setup Menu”.


To allow the Product to access folders on your computer, you need:
1) The Product already connected to the network
2) to designate the folders/files on your PC as shared resources.

Please refer to Microsoft’s official website:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/home
net.mspx to see the initial and detailed process of Home Network Setup
in Windows XP. Please refer to the following instructions to allow the
Product to access the shared folders on the remote PC.

Step 1: Right click on the folder to be shared and select Sharing and

Security.


Step 2: If this is the first time you intend to share a folder, Windows XP

will prompt a warning message, urging you to use the Network
Setup Wizard for safety purpose. Choose to either run the
Wizard or do it yourself. XP will display another warning. If you
want the firewall enabled, select Use the wizard to enable
file sharing
. Otherwise, select enable file sharing.












Caution: File sharing may lead to security problems since, by definition, it gives other

users access to the content of a part of the hard drive. As a result, it is essential that you

share only folders for which it would not be extremely important if their contents are

revealed.
