Configuration and Management
automatically creates configuration files for Samba containing the new
device. The Ericsson W21 then makes the smb service use the new
configuration, thereby sharing the USB device via the SMB/CIFS
protocol. This process is totally automatic and there are not
configuration parameters that can be set, other than renaming the
shared resources.
The Ericsson W21 uses a relatively low powered processor and is not
designed to be a multi tasking platform. This means that you may
experience problems during high load situations such as simultaneously
downloading a large file through the mobile network and printing a large
document or copying a large file to/from shared storage device mounted on
the Ericsson W21. Don’t expect to have full performance on all
simultaneous tasks.
2.8.2 Host Name and Workgroup
All devices on the LAN/WLAN that want to access a USB shared storage
device or printer must belong to the same workgroup as the Ericsson W21.
The following information can be changed on the Sharing page:
Text Description
The name of the Ericsson W21 on the local network.
Host name
The name of the group of devices sharing the same
resources on the local network.
Workgroup
To change the host name or workgroup, type the new name in the
corresponding field and click Apply to save the settings.
For information about setting up a connection from a PC to a shared
device, follow the instruction in section
3.3.3 – Set Up a Connection to a
Storage Device or section
– Access a Shared Printer. 3.3.4
2.8.3 File Sharing
The Ericsson W21 supports USB connection of up to two shared storage
devices at the same time. The included files are shared with all devices on
the local network (LAN/WLAN) and all local users have full access to the
shared files.
Note: Only the first partition of the storage device will be automatically
mounted and shared through the smb service.
