Summary:When the external storage device is connected to the USB connector of the router, through the process of the OS which has detected this event, it will be determined whether the device is a USB mass storage device; and if it is found to be a USB mass storage device, internal software is started up by using Hotplug function, and it is further determined whether the file system is recognizable; and if the file system is recognizable, CIFS is configured to allow sharing and enable GUEST access. As a result, no laborious operation is needed to share a memory device such as a hard disk among users on a network.
