Connecting MobileLite Wireless as a Local Reader
To add content to MobileLite Wireless, you can connect it to a computer using the USB cable that came with the
device (with one of the supported expansion media slots occupied) or you can copy content directly to a USB, SD,
or MicroSD (using the accompanied adapter) drive and inserting the media into the appropriate slot on the
MobileLite Wireless.
When connected to a computer, MobileLite Wireless behaves
like any standard media reader device, creating a data volume
on your PC or Mac for each media type 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 MobileLite Wireless application.
When copying content to the media, it is highly recommended
that you create folders on the each volume to help you organize
and quickly locate files each time you update and/or change the
content of MobileLite Wireless (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 disconnect
MobileLite Wireless 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 over Wi-Fi
MobileLite Wireless is its own independent wireless network. When browsing for Wi-Fi networks from your Kindle
device, you will see ‘MobileLite Wireless’ in the list of available networks to join.
Settings --> Wi-Fi option --> Choose a Network (MobileLite Wireless by default)
By default, there is no password and when you connect to MobileLite from your Kindle device, you are
establishing a dedicated link to MobileLite Wireless over that wireless signal. Once you connect to MobileLite
Wireless, you will substitute your tablet/phone’s Internet connection with MobileLite Wireless’s wireless
connection. This means you will no longer have access to the Internet. However, MobileLite Wireless does
provide a bridging function that allows you to maintain access to MobileLite Wireless’s content while connecting to
a Wi-Fi Internet connection. Please see page 11 for bridging configuration.
