The USB port supports three types of devices:
1) USB storage devices - a USB storage device can be added to store data backups of the NAS or to be used as an additional data share.
2) USB Printers - a USB printer can be added and shared through the NAS, providing entire home or office access to a printer over the network. Buffalo NAS devices only support one-way communication and provide printing but not advanced scanning and faxing functionality.
3) UPS Devices - A support UPS or battery backup device can be added and connected via the USB port. When using the USB port, the UPS device can signal when it is running low on battery and perform a safe shutdown, and it will also turn the NAS back on when power has been restored. For more information regarding connecting a UPS to a Buffalo NAS please consult the following:
