Wi-Drive Installation Manual

3. Install and start Wi-Drive Utility (WDU) software on your PC. Microsoft Windows XP or

Vista OS and 6 MB free disk space is required. (We recommend Windows XP if you

have the choice).

Download the latest version WDU install package from: www.dension.com/widrive

Run the downloaded install package and follow the Setup Wizard instructions, answer

Yes where needed, and enable network access for WDU, if you have a firewall.

For automatic synchronization the install package also includes the Rsync utility for

Windows, please allow its installation also!

Launch Wi-Drive Utility. At first time running and if no devices are configured the

Installation Wizard will start. If one (or more) devices are configured it starts in tray

mode, look for the Wi-Drive logo , and double-click to open it.

4. Insert the pen-drive to your PC containing Wi-Drive configuration file (from Step 2),

and select the drive when the Install Wizard asks for it.

5. Follow all installation pages, and change settings, as necessary.

6. On the last page the Install Wizard will write a new configuration file to the pen-drive.

Disconnect safely the pen-drive from the PC, and insert it again to Wi-Drive’s “USB

Storage” port and turn-on Wi-Drive.

Wi-Drive learns the new configuration data, reboot itself, and will work accordingly.

Now your Wi-Drive system is set up and ready to work. You can re-configure your Wi-

Drive anytime with this method.

Notes:

Each time Wi-Drive wakes up, it writes its configuration out to the USB storage found.

5.1 Test your system setup

Test Access Point (AP) mode if configured:

1. Start WDU on your computer, and mark the “Keep device connected” option.

2. Switch-on Wi-Drive.

3. Look for the preset AP name on your notebook and make connection.

• Perform the network search manually, automated Windows recognition can be

extremely slow!

• Connect manually to the Wi-Drive AP.

4. Check connectivity with Wi-Drive Utility.

• Open WDU by double clicking the Wi-Drive logo in the tray.

• Check if connection status is indicated (Status: IP Address provided).

• The “Status LED” on Wi-Drive should light on Green continuously.
