Edit the following fields:

Option	Description
Directory	Any name for the directory
Server	Name of the server including the path
Share	Windows share name
Username and password	Windows username and password to access the directory
Domain	Can alternatively be specified in the User field: `<DomainUser>` or `<User@Domain>`
AD authentication (only Scout)	The Active Directory logon data are used to access the directory. The fields Username and Password are disabled.
Test (only eLux)	Checks if the network share can be accessed with the specified data

Note:

To access network drives with AD authentication, the software package Network drive share and the included feature package Linux Key Management Utilities must be installed on the devices.This may require modifications of the image definition file on the web server via ELIAS.

Click OK and Apply.

The directory path /smb/ is automatically inserted before the directory name.The data are provided on the local flash drive under /smb/<Directory name>.

Example: /smb/share
