6.3 Using the Home Storage Function
Function Overview
The terminal supports the home storage function. Portable storage devices, such as USB
flash drives and portable hard disks, can be connected to the USB port on the terminal. If
your portable storage device is a card reader, insert the storage card (for example CF, SD,
and MMC card) in the card reader, and then connect the card reader to the USB interface
of the terminal. The hard disks of the NTFS format do not support the home storage
function.
Configuration Example
To access a portable storage device, do as follows:
Step 1
Configure parameters for the FTP server.
By default, the FTP server is enabled, the name and password of the FTP is ftp, and the port
number for FTP server is 21. You can just keep all the default settings and skip this step.

1. Log in to the Web-based configuration utility.
2. Choose Advanced > USB port in the navigation tree.
