6. 1. 2. Access the USB Device Remotely
You can access your USB disk outside the local area network. For example, you can:
• Share photos and other large files with your friends without logging in to (and paying
for) a photo-sharing site or email system.
• Get a safe backup for the materials for a presentation.
• Remove the files on your camera’s memory card from time to time during your journey.
Note:
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), you cannot use this feature because
private addresses are not routed on the internet.
Follow the steps below to configure remote access settings.
