Connecting Wi-Drive to a Computer
To add content to Wi-Drive, connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with the device. See Figure 3.1 below.
Figure 3.1 – Connecting Wi-Drive to a computer
Loading Content Onto Wi-Drive
When connected to a computer, Wi-Drive behaves like any standard USB Flash drive, creating a data volume on your PC or Mac (see Figure 3.2.). This volume allows you to populate Wi-Drive with digital content that you can later share or access wirelessly via the Wi-Drive application. When copying content to Wi-Drive, it is highly recommended that you create folders on the data volume to help you organize and quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content of Wi-Drive (as opposed to dumping all of your files onto the root volume or into a single folder). For example, you may want to store all of your music files in a folder called “My Music”, or keep all of your photos in a separate folder called “My Pictures”, and so on. When you are finished loading content, please safely3 disconnect Wi-Drive from your computer. This will automatically power the device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the power button until it turns green.
Figure 3.2 – Wi-Drive Volume on PC
(Note: While connected to your computer, Wi-Drive does not broadcast a wireless signal. Therefore you cannot access it from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device in this state.)
For Windows users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by right-clicking the USB icon in the right-hand corner of the taskbar and selecting
‘Safely Remove Hardware’. For Mac users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by dragging the volume icon to the trash can.

Connecting to Wi-Drive over Wireless
Wi-Drive is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad or iPhone, you will see ‘Wi-Drive’ in the list of available networks to join. By default, there is no password and when you connect to it from your iOS device, you are establishing a dedicated link to Wi-Drive over that wireless signal. Once you connect to Wi-Drive, you will substitute your iPad/iPhone’s Internet connection with Wi-Drive’s wireless connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, Wi-Drive does provide a bridging function that allows you to maintain access to Wi-Drive’s content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet connection. See Network Connections on page 10.
Once you’re connected to the Wi-Drive network, you can begin accessing its content from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device by following these steps: 1. Open the Wi-Drive App on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device. 2. Tap the Home icon (upper left corner of Wi-Drive App.) 3. Tap the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254). This will list the contents of your Wi-Drive. 4. Browse and select the media you wish to access. Only supported file types can be opened. See below.
A. The home button displays all stored content on the WiDrive regardless of type or extension. If you created folders during the content upload process on page 7, you will see them listed first. Individual files are listed after the folders.
B. Buttons B, C, & D are all filter buttons and display only the content associated with each represented type. The camera button represents photo/image file types. WiDrive will search through all files and folders on the device and display the supported image file types. C. The filmstrip button represents video file types. Wi-Drive will search through all files and folders on the device and display the supported video file types. D. The musical note button represents music or audio files. Wi-Drive will use this filter to search through all files and folders for supported music file types and display them.
Once you’ve located the file you want to stream, simply tap the file name in the list and you’re ready to go. For a list of all file types currently supported by Wi-Drive, see page 3.

If you want to delete, email, or copy a file from the Wi-Drive, you can do so via the Action menu. Simply navigate to the file you wish to copy (or delete) and swipe it in either direction, left or right, as seen in Figure 4.2. This will reveal the red ‘Action’ button shown in Figure 4.3.
Figure 4.2 – Swipe Menu Item
Figure 4.3 – Action Button
Tap the ‘Action’ button to open the menu shown in Figure 4.4.
This menu allows you to delete, email, or copy content from the Wi-Drive over the Wi-Fi connection you established earlier on Page 8. •
The ‘Delete’ option allows you to delete files and/or folders individually from the Wi-Drive.
The ‘Mail’ option allows you to email a file (up to
10MB) using the default mail client set up on your iOS device.
The ‘Copy To’ option allows you to:
1. Copy a file or folder from its existing location on the Wi-Drive to a new location on the Wi-Drive, with the ability to create a new folder. 2. Copy a file or folder from the Wi-Drive to its app storage location (Local.) This space is limited to the capacity of your iOS device. 3. Copy a file or folder from the Wi-Drive app storage location (Local) of your iOS device to a physical folder on the Wi-Drive.

If you attempt to swipe a document file type unsupported by the Wi-Drive app, you will have the option to open the document file using an alternative app associated with that document file type. The associated app must be installed on the iOS device.
Simply swipe the document you wish to open, tap the action menu button, and select the ‘Open In…’ option shown in Figure 4.5. This will bring up a second menu that lists the apps associated with the document file type you are attempting to open. The ‘Open In’ function only appears with document file types and will not show on the action menu when swiping a picture, audio, or video file.

Configuring Wi-Drive
Using the Wi-Drive App, you can customize the wireless network settings for Wi-Drive. The default settings are: Device Name: Wi-Drive, Visibility Status: ON, Wireless Channel: 11, and Security: None. To access Wi-Drive’s Network Settings, please follow these steps: 1. Select the Wi-Drive App icon on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device. 2. Select the Home icon (upper left.) 3. Select the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254). 4. Select the settings icon (gear symbol, lower left.) 5. Select the Wi-Drive Settings button. A. Device Name – commonly referred to as an SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, this field allows you to specify a device name (between 1 and 32 characters) that will broadcast in the list of available wireless networks on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device. The default name is Wi-Drive as seen in Figure 5.1. B. Visibility Status – this gives you the option to hide or unhide the SSID specified in the ‘Device Name’ field. By default, the visibility status is turned ‘ON’. If you wish to turn this feature ‘OFF’, the device name will NOT be 1 broadcasted in the list of available wireless networks on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device; however, you can still join the Wi-Fi network by entering the device name manually using the menu option, ‘Other…’. C. Wi-Fi Channel – this setting allows you to select a specific frequency channel used to communicate with other devices on your wireless network. The default setting is Channel 11 (2.462 GHz.)
D. Security – this option helps prevent unauthorized access to your Wi-Drive wireless network by prompting users for a password. The security protocols supported by Wi-Drive are WEP, WPA, WPA2, and WPA2
Mixed. The default setting is ‘None.’
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) – User-defined password, must be exactly 13 characters in length
WPA or WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) – User-defined password, must be 8 to 13 characters in length
Mixed – Combination of the other security protocols
If the visibility status has been turned off, you can still join the Wi-Drive network by entering the SSID manually on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod
touch, as long as you know the ‘Device Name’ (Step A). Please note that a password will be required if the security option is enabled.

Network Connections (Bridge Mode)
Traditionally, the Wi-Fi antenna on your iPad or iPod touch device is used to access the Internet. The Wi-Drive, however, uses the Wi-Fi antenna on your Apple device to stream content, which effectively disconnects your iOS device from the Internet. Fortunately, Wi-Drive’s Wi-Fi antenna supports bi-directional traffic and can be used for implementing a feature called Bridge Mode. This mode allows you to be connected to Wi-Drive while it is connected to a Wi-Fi network (as a host client) that has access to the Internet. To set up this feature and see a list of available wireless networks in your range, open the Wi-Drive App and select the settings icon (lower left) in the application. From the ‘Network Settings’ menu (Figure 6.1), tap ‘Network Connections’ and select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. After making your selection, WiDrive will prompt you for the Wi-Fi password (if security is enabled) and reboot. If there is no password, the device will automatically reboot.
Once Wi-Drive has rebooted, you will be prompted to select a wireless network. You MUST select your Wi-Drive network in order to maintain access to its contents. Since you’ve already connected to the network via Wi-Drive’s
App, there is no need to select it from the list again. If you do select it, you will be disconnected from Wi-Drive.
To verify that you have successfully enabled Bridge Mode:
1. Select the Wi-Drive App icon on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device. 2. Select the Home icon (upper left.) 3. Select the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254). 4. Select the settings icon (gear symbol, lower left.) 5. Select the Network Connections button.
When the list of wireless networks appear, you will notice a Wi-Fi signal and ‘greater than’ symbol located to the right of the network you selected in the Wi-Drive App. See Figure 6.1. This indicates that the bridge function is working properly and you are connected to Wi-Drive and the Internet at the same time.
So if you're streaming content from the Wi-Drive to your Apple device and need to quickly look something up on-line, just open your Safari browser and away you go.
