Device Connection Properties 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.
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.

DEVICE PROPERTIES
Printer Connection Properties
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.
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
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.

1. Is the product turned on? The AC adapter may be unplugged.
Check that the Power LED is lit.
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).
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. Is the network cable connected properly? The network (LAN)
cable may be unplugged or have bad contacts. Verify the cable
connections.
6. 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.

other devices not appearing in Control Center
1. Is the USB cable connected properly? The USB cable may be
unplugged or have bad contacts. Verify the cable connections.
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
11
Unable to select a disk for backup
1. The backup function of Home Base supports FAT16-, FAT32-, and
NTFS-formatted disk drives only.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

FAQS
Control Center and USB devices
(“Available Devices” 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: 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.
Q: Why does the Windows AutoPlay screen appear every time I
connect to a device?
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”.
Q: Why would I want to automatically start a specific piece of
software when I connect to a device?
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: 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.
USB disk drives and other storage devices
Q: What is a NAS (Network Attached Storage)?
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?
A: Home Base will automatically mount FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, and
NTFS volumes in NAS mode. Disks using other file systems will be
available to one user at a time in Network USB mode.

FAQS
Q: How do I access USB disk drives connected to Home Base?
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 or 2000).
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.
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: How are drive letters mapped on Windows?
A: When Control Center is running, disk volumes will be mapped to
drivelettersstartingwithZtoavoidcollisionwithcommonlyused
drive letters.
Q: What is the difference between Network USB mode and
NAS mode?
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.
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.
Q: Can files be shared between Windows and Mac OS?
A: Yes, files can be shared between Windows and Mac
OS X computers.
Q: Can filters be applied to prevent certain people from
accessing files?
A: Files are made public to all computers on the network.
