3 Network Storage & Extra Features
3.1 File Access on a PC
3.1.1 Windows Explorer
Use Windows Explorer and type two backslashes \\ followed by the IP address or the device name
NT2-LAN into the address field and press Enter. It will then list all available folders on your LAN
disk. To create a permanent link to your network drive, see Mapping a Network Drive .
You can copy files to the network drive as if it were a folder on your local drive. Depending on the
bandwidth, you can also open and directly play the files, although for video playback of high
definition content, we recommend transferring the data to your local drive first.
Note
When you have to access multiple folders with different passwords or have modified the settings
without a computer restart, go to Tools and disconnect the temporary network drive first, before
accessing the new folder.
3.1.2 Mapping a Network Drive
Mapping the network drive will allow you to create a permanent link that will be present even after
restarting the computer. This permanent link provides convenient access to your network drive and
can be used to store files within other applications.
Note
If you experience problems when trying to access the shared folders, disconnect all network drives,
reboot your computer, restart your network drive and then try again.
1. Double-click on My Computer, go to the Tools menu and select “Map Network Drive…”.
