ReadyNAS 2100 User Manual
2-24 Setting Up and Managing Your ReadyNAS 2100
v1.0, May 2009
USB Flash Device Option
Toward the lower portion of the USB Storage screen is the USB Flash Device Option section (see
Figure 2-26 on page 2-23). There, you can elect to copy the content of a USB flash device
automatically on connection to a specified share. Files are copied into a unique timestamp folder to
prevent overwriting previous contents. This is useful for uploading pictures from digital cameras
and music from MP3 players without needing to power on a PC.
In User security mode, an additional option to set the ownership of the copied files is available.
USB Volume Name and Access Rights Persistence Across Mount/Dismounts
The ReadyNAS 2100 attempts to remember the name as long as there is a unique ID associated
with the USB device so that the next time the device is connected, the same share name(s) will be
available. Share access restrictions are not saved across disconnects, however.
Setting Up Printers
The ReadyNAS 2100 device supports automatic recognition of USB printers. If you have not
already done so, you can connect a printer now, wait a few seconds, and click Refresh to display
detected printers. The print share name automatically reflects the manufacturer and model of your
printer and is listed in the USB Printers section of the Print Queue service screen.

Note: Even when access authorization is based on user login, files on a USB device, are
saved with UID 0 regardless of the user account. This is to allow easy sharing of
the USB device with other
ReadyNAS and PC systems.
