Share Inter Process Communication for the network
The Inter Process Communication (IPC) functions are used to interchange data between
processes on a computer or between multiple computers in a network. To be able to
share data on the USB mass storage device on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, the IPC
must be set to access resources shared in the network (network share).
You can check it as follows:
ì
Open the Windows command prompt. From the start menu of the Windows taskbar,
click
Start
All Programs
Accessories
Command Prompt
.
ì
In the

command and press the
ENTER key.
ì

net share IPC$
command and press the ENTER key.
