Connecting Peripherals

USB Mass Storage

This function is only available for firmware version V1.5 (and later versions).

The UC-7420/7410 supports PNP (plug-n-play), and hot pluggability for connecting USB mass
storage devices. UC-7420/7410 has a built-in auto mount utility that eases the mount procedure.
The first connected USB mass storage device will be mounted automatically by mount to
/mnt/sda, and the second device will be mounted automatically to /mnt/sdb. UC-7420/7410
will be un-mounted automatically with umount when the device is disconnected.

ATTENTION

Remember to type the #sync command before you disconnect the USB mass storage device. If
you don’t issue the command, you may lose some data.
Remember to exit the /mnt/sda or /mnt/sdb directory when you disconnect the USB mass
storage device. If you stay in /mnt/sda or /mnt/sda, the auto un-mount process will fail. If
that happens, type #umount /mnt/sda to un-mount the USB device manually.
UC-7420/7410 only supports certain types of flash disk USB Mass Storage device. Some the
USB flash disks and hard disks may not be compatible with UC-7420/7410. Check compatibility
issues before you purchase a USB device to connect to UC-7420/7410.

CF Mass Storage

The UC-7420/7410 supports PNP and hot pluggability for connecting a CF mass storage device.

storage device will be mounted automatically by the mount command to /mnt/hda.
