10 USB Application

This chapter describes how to congure the USB network storage

for sharing your data via FTP service. The iPBX30 supports two

USB2.0 ports on board and provides two major functions for

attached USB storage space - FTP server and Voicemail and CDR

data storage. Before using the FTP server, ensure that your USB

storage meets the following requirements.

• Only HDD and flash drive are supported. CD-ROM and DVD

drives are not supported. For a list of compatible devices,

please refer to www.asus.com.

• Supports read/write functions for FAT/FAT32 and Linux EXT2

le systems. It does not support NTFS le system.

• Devices with multiple partitions can be detected; however, only

the rst ve partitions are accessible.

Note: iPBX30 only supports USB storage recognized

as a “Mass Storage Device” such as HDD and ash

drives. Most compatible USB storage devices are

plug and play; you do not need to power off the router

when connecting these devices.
