Connection
To install a S-ATA external storage device, you must first shutdown the FSG. Go to the
web interface and log in to the administration site. Go to the shutdown item of the
Hardware menu and press shutdown. Wait till the FSG is shutdown and plug in the eS-
ATA connector of the external device into the FSG eS-ATA port. Make sure the eS-ATA
device is powered on and turn the FSG back on. The storage on the eS-ATA device should
show up as a shared folder. This shared folder can be reached via FTP, HTML and SMB
(Windows file sharing). The folder will be mounted with read and write rights for all in the
root folder (/).
