Connecting MobileLite Wireless G2 as a Local Reader
To add content to MobileLite Wireless G2, you can connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with
the device (with a card or USB memory connected to the MLWG2) or you can copy content directly to a USB, SD
or MicroSD drive (using the accompanied adapter) and insert the media into the appropriate slot on the MobileLite
Wireless G2.
When connected to a computer, MobileLite Wireless G2 behaves like
any standard media reader device, creating a data volume on your PC
or Mac for each media type that 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 Kingston
MobileLite Application.
When copying content to the media, it is highly recommended that you
create folders on each volume to help you organise and quickly locate
files each time that you update and/or change the content of MobileLite
Wireless G2 (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".
When you are finished loading content, please safely disconnect
MobileLite Wireless G2 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 G2 Over Wireless
MobileLite Wireless is its own wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad or iPhone, you
will see „MLWG2-XXXX‟ in the list of available networks to join.
Settings App --> Wi-Fi option --> Choose a Network-> MLWG2-XXXX by default (XXXX indicates the last four
characters of the device‟s unique MAC address. The MAC address of your device could be found on the bottom
of the MobileLite Wireless G2.)
By default, there is no password and when you connect to MobileLite Wireless G2 from your iOS device, you are
establishing a dedicated link to MobileLite Wireless G2 over that wireless signal. Once you connect to MobileLite
Wireless G2, 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 G2 does
provide a bridging function that allows you to maintain access to MobileLite Wireless‟s content while connecting to
a Wi-Fi Internet connection. See Page 20.
