Chapter 7: Accessing the FSG-3 from Windows
There are several ways to access the FSG-3 from Windows:
7.1 Freecom Storage Gateway Assistant
It is possible to map network drives using the Freecom Storage Gateway
Assistant. Please see the Freecom Storage Gateway Assistant chapter for more
information.
7.2 Manual mapping
Accessing data is performed using the following steps:
1. Press the ‘Start’ menu, select the ‘Run...’ option. When the ‘Run’ dialog
opens, type \\FSG_Name (where FSG_Name is name of the FSG-3 set in the
LAN section of the Connection menu of the configuration). Press the ‘OK’
button to continue. Login as user or administrator.
2. FSG’s root directory will appear. You will see all of the configured shares. A
user can read and write to his specific folder, the administrator has read/write
access to all folders. To setup security and password protection, please refer
to the "‘Configuration" section of this manual.
To setup a printer see the ‘External USB devices’ section. FSG-3 can be
accessed by multiple PCs simultaneously by following this step. A drive letter
can also be mapped to FSG-3. See point 3.
3. From the previous step’s ‘Root Directory’ screen or the windows explorer, use
the pull down menu and click ‘Tools’ and then select ‘Map Network Drive’.
The ‘Map Network Drive’ program will run. Select the drive letter you would
like FSG-3 to assume from the ‘Drive:’ pull down menu.
Enter the ‘\\FSG_Name\share_name’ in the ‘Folder:’ field (where FSG_Name
is the ‘FSG-3 Name’ set in the configuration section and share_name is the
‘Shared Folder Name’ set). You can also browse for the shared folder by
pressing the ‘Browse’ button and searching through the ‘Entire Network’
and then the ‘Microsoft Windows Network’. Once complete, press the
‘Finish’ button. FSG-3 is now mapped to a drive letter.
