Keys task to activate the External Storage task, using the license key you received when you 
purchased the Extended Storage System and the USB drive has been connected to the device.

– Windows Share: Configures the device to use a Windows file system share on a NAS as extended 

storage. 

– NFS Mount: Configures the device to use an NFS Mount on a NAS as extended storage.

5. Select the desired storage type and then refer to the appropriate section that follows for additional 

instructions.

To configure your device to use an Extended Storage System for extended storage:

1. Select USB Drive from the Select Storage Type pane and then click Next.

2. The Select Operation pane appears. Two selections are available:

– Use Extended Storage: Configure the device to use the Extended Storage System without 

formatting the file system first. Can be used if the Extended Storage System you have connected 
to your device has previously been formatted and contains camera and sensor data already.

– Format and Use Extended Storage: Formats the Extended Storage System’s file system and then 

configures the device to use the Extended Storage System.

3. Select the operation you wish to perform and then click OK. 

– If you selected Use Extended Storage, a confirmation message appears advising you that the 

device will need to restart to complete the task. Click Finish to restart the device. When the 
restart is complete all Extended Storage System functionality will be available for use.

– If you selected Format and Use Extended Storage, a confirmation message appears, advising you 

that formatting the extended storage device will destroy any data stored on the device and that 
formatting can take 10 or more minutes to complete, after which the device must restart to begin 
using extended storage. Click Finish to complete this task. Once the Extended Storage System is 
formatted, your device will restart automatically. When the restart is complete all External 
Storage functionality will be available for use.

Because problems can occur with your NAS devices that would adversely affect device behavior, be sure 
to use the Backup task to back up the device configuration before using External Storage to configure the 
device to use a Windows share. This will help ensure that, should you encounter problems with the 
Windows share, you can easily restore your device to an operational state.
