Specifying the file sharing settings on the external information terminal side
To save images from the DS-L4 to an external information terminal, the file sharing settings must be specified on that
terminal. The DS-L4 treats a shared folder as a network drive.
This document describes only basic settings. For details on how to specify the settings, refer to the Help or other
documentation for the OS.
Connect a network drive using wired LAN
To save images to a network drive, be sure to connect the network drive and the DS-L4 via wired LAN.
Note on using SoftAP mode
In SoftAP mode, you cannot save images from the DS-L4 to network drives.
