HP Media Vault - Manual (Page 10)

Note: In Windows Vista, you can use this method from any window containing an Address bar.
Network addressing uses the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) format. This format looks like the following:
\\device name\share name. In this example, HPMediaVault is the device name, and FileShare is
the Shared Folder or “share name.” (For those more familiar with networking terms, the word “Share” is often
used instead of “Shared Folder.”)
Note: The media vault comes pre-configured with the name: HPMediaVault. To change the name of your
media vault, see Change the name of your HP Media Vault .
Use Windows Explorer to browse:
When you installed the media vault, you had the choice of mapping drive letters to FileShare, MediaShare and
Backup. If you mapped drive letters to those Shared Folders, you can browse to those folders using Windows
Explorer. (See Map drive letters to your Shared Folders . )
1. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer, My Computer.
2. Double-click the name of the Shared Folder you want to open. The drive letter will be located at the end of
the name. (If you haven’t saved any files to your Shared Folders, the next screen that appears will be
empty.)
In this example, MediaShare is mapped to drive letter “M.” FileShare is mapped to drive letter “Q."
