Samba

The Weline Pro edge device supports the Samba protocol, allowing you to connect from computers, smart TVs, and other devices to access files stored on the device.

① Enable/Disable Samba: Turn Samba service on or off.

② Network Discovery: Allow your Weline Pro edge device’s Samba service to be discovered via LAN scanning.

③ Account: Your Samba login account.

④ Alias: Set an alias for Samba, which can later be used as the login username.

⑤ Set Password: Define the login password for Samba access.

⑥ Samba Access Path: Specify which directories on the Weline Pro device can be accessed via Samba.

⑦ About Samba: Provides a tutorial on how to connect to the Weline Pro device’s Samba service from Windows or macOS.

Note: If your Weline Pro device does not frequently change networks, it is recommended to configure a static IP address. This ensures that the Samba service is always accessible at the same IP within the LAN.
