location and do the following:
● Select Share Type as either CIFS or NFS.
● In the ISO Path box, enter the full ISO path. Use the tool tips to enter the correct syntax.
● Provide details in the Share IP Address, Username, and Password boxes.
● Select the Time to Attach ISO dropdown menu options to set the number of hours the network ISO file will remain
mapped to the target device. By default, this value is set as four hours.
● Click Next.
