==General==
 
The <b>General</b> section is used to manage global USB settings. It consists of two subsections:
 
===USB Mount Settings===
----
The <b>USB Mount Settings</b> section is used to set the transfer type (synchronous or asynchronous) for the USB device.
 
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_usb_tools_general_usb_mount_settings.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 
Synchronous ensures that all changes to the according filesystem are immediately flushed to disk. <b><u>Enabling this will drastically lower the life expectancy of your USB device.</u></b>
 
===Mounted File Systems===
----
The <b>Mounted File Systems</b> list displays USB mass storage devices (MSD) currently attached to this device.

</table>
 
The <b>Format</b> button can be used to format the attached device, and the <b>Unmount</b> button next to each entry in the list is used to unmount an attached USB device. Please make sure to unmount a USB device before physically detaching it from the {{{name}}}.
 
The <b>Refresh</b> is used to refresh the information in the Mounted File Systems list. If you attach a new USB device and cannot see it in the list, try clicking the 'Refresh' button.
 
'''Note:''' Usb with NTFS partition is supported in read-only mode.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use a printer with {{{name}}}, <b>[[How to set up a USB printer (Windows, {{{name}}})|click here]]</b>


==USB to Serial==
The <b>Network Shares</b> section is used to manage Network-attached storage (NAS) such as USB drives and hard drives. The {{{name}}} device supports the following file system architectures:


The device's USB connector can also be used as a <b>serial port</b>.  
<ul>
    <li>FAT</li>
    <li>FAT32</li>
    <li>exFAT</li>

The Xon and Xoff characters are sent by the receiver to the sender to control when the sender will send data, i.e., these characters go in the opposite direction to the data being sent. The circuit starts in the "sending allowed" state. When the receiver's buffers approach capacity, the receiver sends the Xoff character to tell the sender to stop sending data. Later, after the receiver has emptied its buffers, it sends an Xon character to tell the sender to resume transmission.

To connect to the router's SAMBA server from Windows, specify the address in this format:
\\smb_server_address\share_name
Replace <i>smb_server_address</i> with the IP address of this device or SAMBA share hostname; replace <i>share_name</i> with the name of the "share" (as specified in the 'Name' field). For example:
<i>
\\192.168.1.1\my_share
\\Router_share\johns_files
</i>


===Modbus gateway===
===Users===
----
----
The <b>Modbus gateway</b> serial type allows redirecting TCP data coming to a specified port to an RTU specified by the Slave ID. The Slave ID can be specified by the user or be obtained directly from the Modbus header.
The <b>Users</b> section is used to create Samba users that can be granted access to Shared Directories. To add a new user, enter a custom username, password and click the 'Add' button.
 
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_usb_tools_network_shares_users_add_button_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 
The newly added User should appear in the Users list. To change the password of a Samba User, click the 'Edit' button located next to it:
 
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_usb_tools_network_shares_users_edit_button_v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 
This will redirect you to the Settings page for that User which should look similar to this:

==DLNA==
 
The <b>Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)</b> standard provides the possibility to stream media files from local storage to DLNA-capable devices such as computers, Smart TVs, tablets, etc.
 
This page is used to configure the DLNA service on the device. When the DLNA service is enabled, the device listens for incoming connections on the specified network interface and port number. Clients connecting to that port number on that interface will be granted access to the media files residing in the specified directories.
 
DLNA devices use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to discover and communicate with each other on a network. To access the DLNA server hosted on this device you will need a DLNA-capable application. If you're using your phone or other mobile device, simply search for DLNA in the device's application store. On Linux and Windows computers you can use applications capable of playing network media streams (such as VLC). Smart TVs and similar devices may have DLNA support built-in by default.
 
File format types supported by the DLNA service on this device:
 
<ul>
    <li>Audio - WMA, WAV, MP3, FLAC</li>
    <li>Image - JPEG</li>
    <li>Video - WMV, MTS, MP4, MKV, MOV</li>
</ul>
<u><b>Note:</b> DLNA is additional software that can be installed from the <b>System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]]</b> page.</u>

The information in this page is updated in accordance with firmware version .

Summary

The USB Tools page is used to manage services related to the device's USB connector.

This chapter of the user manual provides an overview of the USB Tools page in {{{name}}} devices.

If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.

General

The General section is used to manage global USB settings. It consists of two subsections:

USB Mount Settings

The USB Mount Settings section is used to set the transfer type (synchronous or asynchronous) for the USB device.

Synchronous ensures that all changes to the according filesystem are immediately flushed to disk. Enabling this will drastically lower the life expectancy of your USB device.

Mounted File Systems

The Mounted File Systems list displays USB mass storage devices (MSD) currently attached to this device.

Field Value Description
Device filepath; default: /dev/sd* The filesystem of the attached USB MSD.
Mount Point filepath; default: /mnt/sd* The root directory of the mounted filesystem.
Available string; default: none Displays available storage information for a mounted USB MSD.
Used string; default: none Displays used storage information for a mounted USB MSD.
In Use string; default: none Indicates whether a USB MSD is currently in use by some device service or not.

The Format button can be used to format the attached device, and the Unmount button next to each entry in the list is used to unmount an attached USB device. Please make sure to unmount a USB device before physically detaching it from the {{{name}}}.

The Refresh is used to refresh the information in the Mounted File Systems list. If you attach a new USB device and cannot see it in the list, try clicking the 'Refresh' button.

Note: Usb with NTFS partition is supported in read-only mode.

Printer Server

The Printer Server feature provides the possibility to configure access to a printer that is connected to the USB port of the device. After the printer is connected to the device's USB port and configured, it can be utilized by users in the local network (LAN, WiFi) or remotely.

The 'Add' button lets you add and manage additional printers. To configure a printer instance, click the Edit button located next to it:

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Turns USB printer support on or off.
Device filepath; default: /dev/usb/lp0 Printer's device file.
Port integer [9100..9109]; default: 9100 Printer's TCP port.
Bidirectional mode off | on; default: on Turns bidirectional mode on or off.

For step-by-step instructions on how to use a printer with {{{name}}}, [[How to set up a USB printer (Windows, {{{name}}})|click here]].

Network Shares

The Network Shares section is used to manage Network-attached storage (NAS) such as USB drives and hard drives. The {{{name}}} device supports the following file system architectures:

  • FAT
  • FAT32
  • exFAT
  • NTFS
  • ext2
  • ext3
  • ext4

General Settings

The General section is used to set up Samba - a software solution for using the Server Message Block (SMB) networking protocol, which provides shared file access between nodes on a computer network. Refer to the figures and table below for more information about Samba configuration.

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Turns Samba on or off.
Hostname string; default: Router_share Name of the Samba server.
Description string; default: Router share Short description about the Same server.
Workgroup string; default: WORKGROUP Name of the server's workgroup.
Share home-directories off | on; default: on Allows system users to reach their home directories via network shares.
Interfaces lan; default: none Bind samba server to specified interfaces
Insert custom configuration to config string; default: none Insert custom line to configuration file.

Shared Directories

The Shared Directories section is used to configure access to the device's files and directories, including USB storage drives. The list of Shared Directories is empty by default; click the 'Add' button in order to create a new configuration:

The newly added Shared Directory configuration should look similar to this:

Field Value Description
Name string; default: none Name of a shared directory.
Path filepath; default: No mount point Path to a shared directory. To share an entire drive, choose an automatically generated path from this drop-down box (for example, /mnt/sda1). To share a specific directory on the drive, specify the full path to that directory (for example, /mnt/sda1/shared/video).
Allowed users samba user(s); default: none Samba user(s) that are permitted to access a Shared Directory. Users can be created from the Users menu tab.
Read-only off | on; default: off Makes a Shared Directory read-only, which means the directory can only be accessed to view and read files (not write).
Browseable off | on; default: on Makes a Shared Directory browsable; i.e., visible in shared directory network discovery.
Allow guests off | on; default: off Turns guest access on or off. Guest access allows anonymous connections to a Shared Directory.
Actions Delete; default: Delete Deletes a Shared Directory configuration.

To connect to the router's SAMBA server from Windows, specify the address in this format: 

\\smb_server_address\share_name

Replace smb_server_address with the IP address of this device or SAMBA share hostname; replace share_name with the name of the "share" (as specified in the 'Name' field). For example: 

\\192.168.1.1\my_share
\\Router_share\johns_files

Users

The Users section is used to create Samba users that can be granted access to Shared Directories. To add a new user, enter a custom username, password and click the 'Add' button.

The newly added User should appear in the Users list. To change the password of a Samba User, click the 'Edit' button located next to it:

This will redirect you to the Settings page for that User which should look similar to this:

DLNA

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard provides the possibility to stream media files from local storage to DLNA-capable devices such as computers, Smart TVs, tablets, etc.

This page is used to configure the DLNA service on the device. When the DLNA service is enabled, the device listens for incoming connections on the specified network interface and port number. Clients connecting to that port number on that interface will be granted access to the media files residing in the specified directories.

DLNA devices use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to discover and communicate with each other on a network. To access the DLNA server hosted on this device you will need a DLNA-capable application. If you're using your phone or other mobile device, simply search for DLNA in the device's application store. On Linux and Windows computers you can use applications capable of playing network media streams (such as VLC). Smart TVs and similar devices may have DLNA support built-in by default.

File format types supported by the DLNA service on this device:

  • Audio - WMA, WAV, MP3, FLAC
  • Image - JPEG
  • Video - WMV, MTS, MP4, MKV, MOV

Note: DLNA is additional software that can be installed from the System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]] page.

General Settings

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Turns the DLNA service on or off.
Port integer [0..65535]; default: 8200 DLNA service listening port.
Friendly name string; default: Teltonika DLNA Server The name of this server as it will be displayed to clients.
Root container Standard container | Browse directory | Music | Video | Pictures; default: Standard container Specifies which type of files will be made available in DLNA file sharing.
  • Standard container - allows browsing the shared media directory but also organizes files by type (music, video, pictures).
  • Browse directory - allows browsing the shared media directory .
  • Music, Video, Pictures - only shares the files of the specified type.
Media directories filepath(s); default: /mnt A list of directories that will be scanned by the DLNA service and made available to clients. You can also specify what types of files should be displayed from the directy. Use 'A' for audio, 'V' for video, 'P' for images followed by a comma and the path to the directory. For example:
  • A,/mnt - share only audio files from the /mnt/sda1 directory.
  • V,/mnt - share only video files from the /mnt/sda1 directory.
  • P,/mnt - share only image files from the /mnt/sda1 directory.
Click the plus symbol to add more directories.
Album art names filename(s); default: Album.jpg Name of the file(s) to check when searching for album art images. Click the plus symbol to specify more file names.

Advanced Settings

Field Value Description
Interfaces network interface; default: br-lan Network interface(s) on which this DLNA server will be hosted.
Enable notify off | on; default: on Turns inotify on or off. Inotify is a Linux kernel subsystem that notices changes to the filesystem and reports on these changes to applications, in this case, the DLNA service.
Enable TIVO off | on; default: off Turn support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO on or off.
Strict to DLNA standard off | on; default: off Set this to strictly adhere to DLNA standards. Turning this on will allow server-side downscaling of very large JPEG images, which may hurt JPEG serving performance on (at least) Sony DLNA products.
