DISK MANAGEMENT
DISCUS™ Multiplay Wireless VoIP AG can operate as a disk manager for exter-
nal storage devices connected via USB or FireWire. Your home-network's LAN
devices can share this storage device as a mapped network drive, and
exchange information without directly accessing each other. The Web based
management provides disk management utilities such as partitioning and for-
matting.
An internal disk or a connected storage device will appear on the network map.
You can view information about the disk by clicking its icon. The 'Disk Informa-
tion' screen will appear. For a broader view, click the 'Shared Storage' link from
