The “Connection” tab of the “Device Properties” screen enables you  
to specify if the device should connect automatically to this computer  
when the computer is started, and if any software should start  
automatically when the device connects. The information in this topic  
applies to all devices except printers and disks that are shared via NAS  
mode. To learn about connection properties for printers, see the “Printer  
Connection Properties” section.  
Device Connection Properties  
Check the “Automatically connect this device when the Home Base  
Control Center starts” check box if you want to this computer to  
automatically connect to this device each time Control Center starts. If  
you mark this check box along with the box that specifies if the Control  
Center should start, the device will automatically connect each time you  
start the computer.  
Connections to devices may occasionally be lost due to network  
failures or other factors. If you want the Control Center to automatically  
reconnect with the device should this occur, check “Attempt to  
reconnect the device if the connection is lost”. The Control Center will  
try to reconnect with the device until the connection is reestablished or  
the computer is shut down.  
Use the “Launch Program” field to specify settings for any software  
associated with this device. For example, a webcam probably has  
software that captures video. By checking “Launch a program when this  
device connects”, you can specify that the software starts automatically  
when the webcam is available. You can also check “Disconnect device  
when the program is closed” if you want to free up the device for use by  
other computers when you close the software.  
In the “Program” field, browse to find the software you want to associate  
with the device. You can also enter the path to the program directly into  
the field. Once your settings are saved, only the name of the program  
appears in the “Program” field.

If the printer is being shared among multiple computers, we recommend  
selecting “This is a shared printer, automatically connect and disconnect  
only when printing”. With this option, the printer is automatically  
Printer Connection Properties  
connected when a print job is sent to it, then is disconnected as soon as  
the job completes so the printer is then available for other computers.  
Check “Automatically connect this device when the Home Base Control  
Center starts” if you want this computer to automatically connect to  
this printer each time the computer starts, preventing other users from  
connecting to the printer automatically.  
You can force users to manually connect to the printer with the “Never  
automatically connect, I will always connect manually” option.  
The “Printer” field is enabled if you select one of the automatic  
connection options. From the drop-down list, select the printer driver  
associated with this printer.  
Connections to devices may occasionally be lost due to network  
failures or other factors. If you want the Control Center to automatically  
reconnect with the device should this occur, check “Attempt to  
reconnect the device if a connection is lost”. The Control Center will try  
to reconnect with the device until the connection is reestablished or the  
computer is shut down.  
Use the “Program” field to specify settings for any software associated  
with this printer. You can also check “Disconnect this device when the  
program is closed” if you want to free up the device for use by other  
computers when you close the software.  
In the “Program” field, browse to find the software you want to associate  
with the printer. You can also enter the path to the software directly into  
the field. Once your settings are saved, only the name of the program  
appears in the “Program” field.  
When a printer is selected, the “Connection” tab of the “Device  
Properties” screen offers additional functionality specific to printers.  
In particular, you can select one of three options for automatically  
connecting the device.

for use when you start your computer. For more information, see the  
“Device Properties” section.  
The “Show the Home Base Control Center” check box makes Control  
Center appear each time you start the computer.  
Under “Notification” you can specify which notifications you want to  
see. Mark check boxes to:  
1.  
notify me when the device connection is lost – to inform you when  
the connection to a USB device is lost. This is enabled by default.  
2.  
remind me that devices should not be in use whenever I  
disconnect a device – to remind you that you should ensure  
a device is not in use before disconnecting. For example,  
disconnecting a storage device while files are open could result in  
data loss. This is disabled by default.  
You may also specify how often you want the device list to be refreshed.  
This rate determines how often Control Center updates the status of  
attached devices.

Is the network cable connected properly? The network (LAN)  
cable may be unplugged or have bad contacts. Verify the cable  
connections.  
General Troubleshooting  
If you are having issues, be sure to try these general tips first:  
Is your computer on the network? If your computer is networked,  
try to see if you can connect to other network computers or if  
you can browse the Internet. Verify that the network is working  
properly.  
Make sure the Home Base Control Center Software is the latest  
version, and the Home Base Firmware is the latest version.  
Software and Firmware updates are available on Belkin’s website at  
Control Center can’t find a Home Base  
Disks not appearing in Windows Explorer or Mac OS X Finder,  
other devices not appearing in Control Center  
1.  
Is the product turned on? The AC adapter may be unplugged.  
Check that the Power LED is lit.  
1.  
Is the USB cable connected properly? The USB cable may be  
unplugged or have bad contacts. Verify the cable connections.  
2.  
Is the Link LED lit? If the Link LED is not turned on, it may not be  
connected properly. Try rerunning the Home Base Setup Wizard  
and configuring the wireless settings again (or try another network  
cable if you are using a wired connection).  
2.  
Is the USB disk-drive format supported? Home Base supports  
FAT16-, FAT32-, and NTFS-formatted disk drives only. If you have  
a disk you want to connect that has a different file format, you can  
still connect to it in Network USB Mode, or you can reformat the  
disk to FAT32 or NTFS and use it in Network Storage Mode.  
3.  
4.  
Make sure your computer’s wireless adapter and/or access point  
is configured properly and note the configuration settings, paying  
special attention to the wireless mode, SSID or network name, and  
WEP/WPA/WPA2 security, so you can configure your Home Base  
product to the same wireless settings.  
note: Refer to the FAQ page of this manual for more information.  
Make sure you have a good wireless signal from the wireless  
access point or router to your computer and to Home Base, that  
Home Base is within range, and that it is away from metal objects  
and devices that generate radio interference (like Bluetooth®  
devices, cordless phones, and microwave ovens).

Unable to select a disk for backup  
Device Troubleshooting  
If a device is visible in Control Center, but you cannot connect to it, your  
firewall may be blocking the connection. During installation, Control  
Center configures the Windows firewall to enable Home Base to operate  
properly. But if you are running a third-party firewall, you may need to  
specify settings to open a port and enable operation of the Home Base  
and Control Center. For information on how to do this with several types  
of popular firewalls, see the “Firewalls” section.  
1.  
The backup function of Home Base supports FAT16-, FAT32-, and  
NTFS-formatted disk drives only.  
Detection problems on machine with multiple active network interfaces  
When multiple network interfaces are on a computer, sometimes  
Windows operating systems have issues with discovery over the  
network properly. In this case, from the Home Base Control Center, click  
on “Tools > Options”, “Refresh Options”, and then enter a broadcast  
address compatible with each network interface (for example, enter  
255.255.255.0 for 172.16.XXX.XXX, etc.). By doing this, the Windows  
problem can be avoided.  
Printer Troubleshooting  
When sharing a printer, the correct driver must be selected in the Device  
Properties’ “Connections” tab. For more information, see the “Printer  
Connection Properties” section.  
Unreliable operation  
1.  
Did you install any software just before your trouble occurred? The  
software may be causing a problem. Remove the software you  
installed and reinstall it.  
VPn Troubleshooting  
Home Base may not work with VPN (Virtual Private Network) as VPN  
filters the connection between the computer and other network devices.  
If you have VPN enabled and Home Base does not work, please turn off  
the VPN connection.  
2.  
Does the same problem occur after rebooting your PC? Rebooting  
the PC may solve the problem.  
resetting Home Base to factory Defaults  
You can often resolve issues by resetting Home Base to factory-default  
settings and running the setup software again. To reset Home Base to  
factory defaults, unplug the power, and push and hold the reset button  
down (you will need to use a paper clip or something small to hold it  
down) on the bottom side of Home Base. Plug the power back into  
Home Base while you are still holding down the reset button. When all of  
the LEDs light up on Home Base (after about 4–5 seconds), let go of the  
button. Home Base is reset to factory defaults.

This topic shows you how to create an exception for Control Center in several popular firewall programs. Because firewalls are  
designed to block unwanted intrusions into your network, you must specify settings that tell the firewall that Control Center should  
be allowed to communicate with the Home Base on your network.  
The instructions are for the versions of the firewall programs that appear below. If you have a different version of a given firewall, the  
locations of some options may differ from those provided here.

Q: Why would I want to automatically start a specific piece of  
software when I connect to a device?  
Control Center and UsB devices  
(“available Devices” tab)  
a: Many USB items use specific software to carry out their functions.  
For example, a webcam will need software to capture video. The  
Belkin Control Center enables you to specify that the software  
automatically start when a device is connected to the Home Base.  
For more information, see Device Properties’ “Connection” tab.  
Q: I can see a USB device in Control Center, but I can’t connect to  
it. What should I do?  
a: Check your firewall settings. During installation, the Control  
Center configures the Windows firewall to enable connection,  
but third-party firewalls may require additional settings. For more  
information about how to configure several specific firewalls, see  
the “Firewalls” section.  
Q: Do I have to shut down Control Center completely before  
installing an update? Do I need to reboot my computer  
after installing?  
a: No, you can install updates while Control Center is running and  
devices are connected. You do not need to reboot your computer  
after installing an update.  
Q: Does this product work with any-speed USB device?  
a: Yes. The Home Base supports Hi-, full-, and low-speed devices.  
Information about the type of speed supported by a device is  
gathered by Control Center from the device and displayed in the  
Device Properties’ “General” tab.  
UsB disk drives and other storage devices  
Q: Why does the Windows AutoPlay screen appear every time I  
connect to a device?  
Q: What is a NAS (Network Attached Storage)?  
a: By default, Windows automatically plays many types of USB  
devices. You can turn off this feature in Windows XP by clicking  
“Start” and “Run”. In the “Run” field, type in “gpedit.msc” (without  
the quotes). On the “Group Policy” screen, select “Computer  
Configuration > Administrative Templates”. Click “System”. Double-  
click “Turn off Autoplay”. On the “Setting” tab, select “Disabled”  
and click “OK”.  
a: A NAS device is a server specifically designed for handling files.  
Network Attached Storage is accessible directly on the local area  
network (LAN) from multiple users.  
Q: What file systems can be used with Home Base in NAS mode?

Q: How do I access USB disk drives connected to Home Base?  
Q: What is the difference between Network USB mode and  
NAS mode?  
a: In Windows, Control Center automatically maps a new drive letter  
for your computer for each supported USB disk drive connected to  
Home Base. You can access the drive by going to “Computer” (or  
“My Computer” if you are using Windows XP).  
a: In Network USB mode, it is as if the USB device is connected  
directly to your computer by a USB cable. If one person is using  
a device, no one else will be able to connect to it. Many different  
kinds of devices can be used. In NAS mode, a USB device can  
be accessed from multiple computers at the same time; this only  
works with USB storage devices and file sharing.  
You can go to Windows Internet Explorer and type  
“\\BK-HBxxxxxx” (where “xxxxxx” is the last six digits of Home  
Base’s MAC address, printed on the bottom of Home Base)  
into the address bar. Alternatively, you can browse the Windows  
network and look for “\\BK-HBxxxxxx” in the list of available  
network devices.  
Q: Are there any limitations to how much data can be shared?  
a: No, the amount of data that can be shared depends on the size  
of the connected disk.  
For Macintosh® computers, Control Center automatically mounts  
discs connected to Home Base to the desktop. Alternatively, click  
“Go > Connect to server” to connect to the disk.  
Q: Can files be shared between Windows and Mac OS?  
a: Yes, files can be shared between Windows and Mac  
Q: How are drive letters mapped on Windows?  
OS X computers.  
a: When Control Center is running, disk volumes will be mapped to  
drive letters starting with Z to avoid collision with commonly used  
drive letters.  
Q: Can filters be applied to prevent certain people from  
accessing files?  
a: Files are made public to all computers on the network.

configured on the web page, if any. By default, there is no  
password. In this case, log in by pressing the “Enter” key without  
entering a password.  
Q: Can files be encrypted when used with the Home Base  
NAS feature?  
Q: Is it safe to unplug a connected USB device at any time?  
a: No, files are all saved as they are. This applies to disks formatted  
as NTFS, too.  
a: The device you are unplugging may be in use by another PC  
or accessed by picture sharing, etc. Data may be destroyed if  
unplugged suddenly. Always follow the “Safe Removal” procedure  
to remove devices.  
Q: Can compressed disk drives be used?  
a: No, compressed drives cannot be shared via Home Base’s  
NAS feature.  
Q: Can I log in to a network domain environment using the  
NAS mode?  
Q: What protocol is used for sharing?  
a: A domain environment cannot be logged in to.  
a: The Windows file-sharing protocol is used. It is commonly referred  
to as SMB or CIFS.  
Q: When multiple USB disk drives are connected, can they be set  
up to use RAID?  
a: A RAID cannot be established using multiple disks attached to  
Home Base, but Home Base can access a USB RAID device as a  
single disk.
