To configure Wi-Drive, you must first install the Wi-Drive App (to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device) from the

on-line App Store (Internet access required). The Wi-Drive App is free and allows you to customize the wireless

network settings and wirelessly access the content you’ve uploaded to Wi-Drive. To install the App,please follow

these steps:

1. Open the App Store from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device and search for “Wi-Drive.” See Figure

1.1 below. The App Store may return multiple results for your search.

Figure 1.1 – Wi-Drive Search

2. Locate and select the Wi-Drive App that corresponds to your device, i.e. Wi-Drive for iPad, for iPhone,

iPod touch, etc. by Kingston Digital, Inc.and tap the ‘FREE’ button link. See Figure 1.2.

E. Wi-Fi LED – Flashes when broadcasting

SSID or wireless network activity.

1The default configuration for Wi-Drive is: 1) Device Name: Wi-Drive 2) Visibility Status: ON 3) Wireless Channel: 11 and 4) Security:

None. (Note: Resetting the device will not affect the user content on Wi-Drive.)

2The power button is also an indicator of how much battery time is left while the Wi-Drive is powered on. Green indicates 75% -100% battery

charge remaining; amber indicates 25% -74% battery charge remaining; and red indicates 24% or less battery charge remaining.

is left before Wi-Drive must be charged again. Green indicates 51%-100% battery charge remaining; amber

indicates 25%-50% battery charge remaining; and red indicates less than 25% battery charge remaining. A

Connecting Wi-Drive to a Computer

To add content to Wi-Drive, connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with the device. See Figure

3.1 below.

Figure 3.1 – Connecting Wi-Drive

to a computer

Loading Content Onto Wi-Drive

When connected to a computer, Wi-Drive behaves like any

standard USB Flash drive, creating a data volume on your PC or

Mac (see Figure 3.2.). This volume allowsyou to populate Wi-Drive

with digital content that you can later share or access wirelessly via

the Wi-Drive application.

When copying content to Wi-Drive, it is highly recommended that

you create folders on the data volume to help you organize and

quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the content

of Wi-Drive (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

3disconnect

Wi-Drive from your computer. This will automatically power the

device off. To turn it back on, press and hold the power button until

it turns green.

Figure 3.2 – Wi-Drive Volumeon PC

(Note: While connected to your computer, Wi-Drive does not broadcast a wireless signal. Therefore you cannot

access it from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device in this state.)

3For Windows users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by right-clicking the USB icon in the right-hand corner of the taskbar and selecting

‘Safely Remove Hardware’.For Mac users, please disconnect Wi-Drive safely by dragging the volume icon to the trash can.

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.

Usage

Once you’re connected to the Wi-Drive network, you can begin accessing its content from your iPad,iPhone, or

iPod touch device by following these steps:

1. Open the Wi-Drive App on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch device.

2. Tap the Home icon (upper left corner of Wi-Drive App.)

3. Tap the Device Name link, i.e. Wi-Drive (192.168.200.254).This will list the contents of your Wi-Drive.

4. Browse and select the media you wish to access. Only supported file types can be opened. See below.

A. The home button displays all stored content on the Wi-

Drive regardless of type or extension. If you created

folders during the content upload process on page 7, you

will see them listed first. Individual files are listed after

the folders.

B. Buttons B, C, & D are all filter buttons and display only

the content associated with each represented type. The

camera button represents photo/image file types. Wi-

Drive will search through all files and folders on the

device and display the supported image file types.

C. The filmstrip button represents video file types. Wi-Drive

will search through all files and folders on the device and

display the supported video file types.

D. The musical note button represents music or audio files.

Wi-Drive will use this filter to search through all files and

folders for supported music file types and display them.

Once you’ve located the file you want to stream, simply tap the

file name in the list and you’re ready to go. For a list of all file

types currently supported by Wi-Drive, see page 3.

If you want to delete, email, or copy a file from the Wi-Drive, you can do so via the Action menu. Simply navigate

to the file you wish to copy (or delete) and swipe it in either direction, left or right, as seen in Figure 4.2. This will

reveal the red ‘Action’ button shown in Figure 4.3.

Figure 4.2 –Swipe Menu Item

Figure 4.3 –Action Button

Tap the ‘Action’ button to open the menu shown in Figure 4.4.

This menu allows you to delete, email, or copy content from

the Wi-Drive over the Wi-Fi connection you established earlier

on Page 8.

•The ‘Delete’ option allows you to delete files and/or

folders individually from the Wi-Drive.

•The ‘Mail’ option allows you to email a file (up to

10MB) using the default mail client set up on your iOS

device.

•The ‘Copy To’ option allows you to:

1. Copy a file or folder from its existing location on

the Wi-Drive to a new location on the Wi-Drive,

with the ability to create a new folder.

2. Copy a file or folder from the Wi-Drive to its app

storage location (Local.) This space is limited

to the capacity of your iOS device.

3. Copy a file or folder from the Wi-Drive app

storage location (Local) of your iOS device to a

physical folder on the Wi-Drive.
