==Storage Memory Expansion==
 +
 +
The <b>Storage Memory Expansion</b> function provides the possibility to expand the device's flash memory with a USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) and use the extra memory to install additional software packages. This section provides instruction on how to do just that. However, there are a few prerequisites and warnings to take note of before using memory expansion.
 +
 +
To be eligible for memory expansion, the USB MSD must meet the following restrictions.
 +
 +
<ul>
 +
    <li>The MSD must be the last one (chronologically) inserted.</li>
 +
    <li>If you are using a USB hub, the target MSD must be the last one attached to the hub.</li>
 +
    <li><b>No important data on the MSD as it will be wiped during expansion setup!</b></li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
When expansion is enabled, <b>do not detach the USB device as this will delete the data stored on it</b>. Changes made to the device configuration while expansion was enabled will disappear after it is disabled.
 +
 +
===Enabling memory expansion===
 +
----
 +
To successfully expand the flash memory of your device follow the steps described below.
 +
 +
<ol>
 +
    <li>Attach a USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) to the USB connector on the device and go to the Services → Storage Memory Expansion page.</li>
 +
    <li>Set the 'Enable storage expansion' slider to 'on' and click 'Save & Apply'.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
 +
    <li>You will see a pop-up asking for confirmation. Take note that <u>if you continue from this point on:</u>
 +
        <ul>
 +
            <li>your <b>USB device's memory will be wiped</b> and formatted to ext2 format;</li>
 +
            <li>your device's <b>current configuration will be backed up</b> and restored to this point if the USB drive is removed or memory expansion is disabled;</li>
 +
            <li>the entire procedure <b>may take a very long time</b> and includes a reboot at the end; exact time will vary depending on the size of the MSD (larger size will take longer; for example, using a 128 GB drive will take about 2 hours to fully set up, while a 16 GB will only take about 5 minutes).</li>
 +
        </ul>Click 'Continue' to proceed.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
    </li>
 +
    <li>If all is in order you should see a 'Formatting MSD...' message on the screen. This indicates that the MSD is being formatted and integrated with the system. This procedure can take a long time and ends with a reboot of the device.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_3.png]]</li>
 +
    <li>Your device's flash memory will be expanded once the reboot has finished. In order to check, log in to the WebUI and look to the 'System' widget in the 'Overview' page. Hover your mouse cursor over the 'FLASH' memory indicator; you should see an increase to the device's flash memory.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_4.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
 +
===Disabling memory expansion===
 +
----
 +
To successfully disable memory expansion follow the steps described below.
 +
 +
<ol>
 +
    <li>Go to the Services → Storage Memory Expansion page.</li>
 +
    <li>Set the 'Enable storage expansion' slider to 'off' and click 'Save & Apply'.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
 +
    <li>You will see a pop-up asking for confirmation. Take note that <u>if you continue from this point on:</u>
 +
        <ul>
 +
            <li>your <b>USB device's memory will be wiped</b> and formatted to NTFS format;</li>
 +
            <li>your <b>device's configuration will be restored</b> to the point it was before memory expansion;</li>
 +
            <li>the entire procedure <b>will take up to 2 minutes</b> including a reboot.</li>
 +
        </ul>Click 'Continue' to proceed.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
    </li>
 +
    <li>If all is in order you should see a 'Formatting MSD...' message on the screen. This indicates that the MSD is being formatted and detached from the system. This procedure can take up to a couple of minutes and ends with a reboot of the device.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_3.png]]</li>
 +
    <li>Your device's flash memory will be restored to normal once the reboot has finished. In order to check, log in to the WebUI and look to the 'System' widget in the 'Overview' page. Hover your mouse cursor over the 'FLASH' memory indicator; you should see your device's flash memory return to its regular size.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_4.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
 +
==Network Shares==
 +
 +
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:
 +
 +
<ul>
 +
    <li>FAT</li>
 +
    <li>FAT32</li>
 +
    <li>NTFS</li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
===General Settings===
 +
----
 +
The <b>General</b> section is used to set up <b>Samba</b> - 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.
 +

 +
===Edit Template===
 +
----
 +
The <b>Edit Template</b> section is used to make modifications to the template that is used for generating the Samba configuration. This is the content of the <i>/etc/samba/smb.conf.template</i> file from which your Samba configuration will be generated. Values enclosed by pipe symbols ('|') should not be changed. They get their values from the 'General Settings' tab.

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>
 +
 +
===Users===
 +
----
 +
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.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.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
