• To Set up Authentication for Data Security
You can set up authentication for your USB device so that network clients will be
required to enter the username and password when accessing the USB disk.
1. Under Sharing Account, choose Use Default Account or Use New Account. The
username and password are both admin for the default account. If your choose
Use New Account, you have to customize the username and a password.
Note:
For Windows users, do not set the sharing username the same as the Windows username. Otherwise, Windows
credential mechanism may cause the following problems:
• If the sharing password is also the same as the Windows password, authentication will not work since the Windows
system will automatically use its account information for USB access.
• If the sharing password is different from the Windows password, the Windows system will be unable to remember
your credentials and you will always be required to enter the sharing password for USB access.
