Connecting MobileLite Wireless as a Local Reader
To add content to MobileLite Wireless, you can connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with the
device (with one of the supported expansion media slots occupied) or you can copy content directly to a USB, SD,
or MicroSD (using the accompanied adapter) drive and inserting the media into the appropriate slot on the
MobileLite Wireless.
When connected to a computer, MobileLite Wireless behaves like
any standard media reader device, creating a data volume on your
PC or Mac for each media type you have inserted on the MLW (i.e.
USB, SD, MicroSD.) You can populate each volume with digital
content that you can later share or access wirelessly via the
MobileLite Wireless application.
When copying content to the media, it is highly recommended that
you create folders on the each volume to help you organize and
quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content
of MobileLite Wireless (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 safely disconnect
MobileLite Wireless from your computer.
This will automatically
power the device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the power
button for 3 seconds.
Connecting to MobileLite Wireless over Wireless
MobileLite Wireless is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad
or iPhone, you will see 'MobileLite Wireless' in the list of available networks to join.
Settings App --> Wi-Fi option --> Choose a Network (MobileLite Wireless by default)
By default, there is no password and when you connect to MobileLite from your iOS device, you are establishing a
dedicated link to MobileLite Wireless over that wireless signal. Once you connect to MobileLite Wireless, you will
substitute your iPad/iPhone's Internet connection with MobileLite Wireless's wireless connection. This means you
will no longer have access to the Internet. However, MobileLite Wireless does provide a bridging function that
allows you to maintain access to MobileLite Wireless's content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet connection.
