Configuring the Advanced Settings

Web Server

Your device's integrated Web server allows you to publish data on a connected USB bulk

memory (e.g. USB stick or USB hard disk) on the Internet.

Internet users can access your Web server by entering the public IP address in their Inter-

net browser. As Internet providers often change this each time someone dials in, it is

worth using dynamic DNS (see page 66) in addition.
