5.5.1.1 Sharing Specific Partitions with Microsoft File Sharing
By default, all partitions are automatically displayed shared among all users. Figure 5.135 depicts
such a scenario, where share entries appear in the ‘File Server Shares’ section as soon as a
partitioned and formatted storage device is connected to the gateway. However, if you only wish to
share specific partitions, you can disable automatic file sharing and manually define file shares
using the ‘Microsoft File Sharing Protocol’. Note that this protocol requires associating specific
users with the shares.
To share a specific partition only, perform the following sequence. First, enable Microsoft File
Sharing for users you would like to have access to the share:
1. Click the ‘Users’ menu item under the ‘System’ tab. The ‘Users’ screen appears.

3. In the ‘User Settings’ screen that appears, check the “Microsoft File and Printer Sharing
Access” check box in the ‘Permissions’ section.
