110 Using Your Appliance
External Storage
Use the External Storage task to configure your appliance to store data on the optional Extended Storage
System (sold separately, for use only with NetBotz 500 appliances) or a network attached storage device
(a Windows share or an NFS mount). A maximum of 5000 objects (such as alerts and picture clips) can
be stored using External Storage. Sensor readings do not count against the maximum number of sobject
stored.
You can use this task to:
Use an Extended Storage System (a USB drive that is connected directly to your NetBotz 500 USB
port) for extended storage
Use network attached storage (NAS) for extended storage. The following NAS implementations are
supported:
MS Windows 2000 / XP / 2003
MS Windows Storage Server
Samba V2.2.6 or later (on Linux)
NFS V3.x or later
Remove previously configured extended storage
When this task is started, if an Extended Storage System or NAS is configured for use by your appliance
its status and size are displayed in the External Storage window.

Note
Before you can use this task to configure an Extended Storage System, you
must use the License Keys task to activate the External Storage task, using the
license key you received when you purchased the Extended Storage System.
The Extended Storage System is available for use only on NetBotz 500
appliances. For more information about License Keys, see “License Keys” on
page 114.
The use of network attached storage, such as a Windows share or an NFS
mount, for extended storage purposes is available for use only on NetBotz 500
appliances for which the BotzWare Premium Software Module 2.4 has been
purchased.
Note
Not all NAS devices that work with Windows systems necessarily use one of the
supported implementations. Also, some devices may use proprietary protocols
and standards that require additional drivers in order to communicate with the
share. Therefore, some NAS devices may not be mountable or useable.
