Mapping Multiple Shares
When mapping any share, select the Connect using a different
user name option. A login and password prompt will appear. 
Use the username and password required by any secure, 
restricted shares for all shares. All mapped shares on a 
single PC must use the same username and password!
If only unrestricted shares are being mapped, then it’s not necessary to set a username and 
password for shares. Multiple mapped drives to unrestricted shares can exist without a username 
or password as long as no restricted, secure shares are mapped. If an unrestricted share and a 
restricted share are both being mapper or accessed, use the restricted username and password for 
the unrestricted share login by using the Connect using a different user name option. This will allow 
a Windows PC to access both shares without any problems.
