your network.

The Zyxel Device will not be able to join a workgroup if your local area network has restrictions set up
that do not allow devices to join a workgroup. In this case, contact your network administrator.

The following terms and concepts may help as you read this chapter.
15.1.1.1 About File Sharing
Workgroup Name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such
as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network.
Shares
When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the Zyxel Device is given a folder,
called a “share”. If a USB hard drive connected to the Zyxel Device has more than one partition, then
each partition will be allocated a share. You can also configure a “share” to be a sub-folder or file on
the USB device.
