Connecting to Wi-Drive over Wireless
Wi-Drive is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your iPad or iPhone,
you will see 'Wi-Drive' in the list of available networks to join. By default, there is no password and when you
connect to it from your iOS device, you are establishing a dedicated link to Wi-Drive over that wireless signal.
Once you connect to Wi-Drive, you will substitute your iPad/iPhone's Internet connection with Wi-Drive's wireless
connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, Wi-Drive does provide a
bridging function that allows you to maintain access to Wi-Drive's content while connecting to a Wi-Fi Internet
connection. See Network Connections on page 10.
