It should be understood that the following description is intended to be a teaching disclosure of those skilled in the art, and not as a limitation of the invention. Referring now to the drawings that accompany the specific reference, Fig. 1 shows a - specific embodiment of the present invention. Display - a removable network access point device, comprising one end connected to a network via the peripheral path; the I side 106 connected to a network, and the other end connected to a computer system via a standard computer Interface controller丨〇丨. Although it is possible to mention the device, the device may also be made in a non-removable manner without departing from the spirit of the invention. The computer interface 1〇5 may also be dedicated without departing from the spirit of the invention. The interface controller 101 includes itself a non-volatile memory 102 and a processor 104. Non-volatile memory 1〇2 stores 91436.doc 1333620 The load and operation code, and the power-on and power-off cycles across the removable network access point device, the configuration data and operation code Provide a continuous storage medium. If the non-volatile memory is fast enough and accessible via random access technology, the processor 1 4 itself executes the code from the non-volatile memory 2. In one other possible embodiment, when the non-volatile memory 102 is 'exemplary and not limiting, a sequence of erasable programmable read only memory (EPR0M) or serial electronic erasable programmable read only In the case of memory (EEPR〇M), the processor (10) executes the code from the separate random access memory (RAM). The processor (10) may be implemented as a digital signal processor _), a fast-receiving network (4)--microcontroller, or a specialization chip that performs the specific functions disclosed herein. The configuration data saves all the parameters required to access the network and the drive shared by the network. The configuration data is also saved in any continuous parameters that may be required to establish a connection to the computer on the computer interface 1G5. The interface controller 1G1 may be implemented as a single-wafer, or may be implemented as a plurality of wafers when required and cost-effective. The interface (4) 1G1 in the one-body embodiment directly connects the signal lines on the network interface 1G6 and the computer interface 105. n Retrievable network access is best provided by the power and grounding lines provided by the computer (4) 5. The R6+ 胄 《 "The removable network access point can be self-powered, or it can be Externally powered. The network interface of the two removable network access point devices is connected to a network with one or more mapped and shared network disks under the control of the processor 104. Ξ1, ^ ^ D ι〇1 Bamboo tries to connect to the shared drive of the network according to the configuration data. Preferably, the network connection is 91436.doc U33620 uses an automated method such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (〇 〇 >) to create a bribe (4) fixed (IP) address and other parameters. It is the method used by this device. In addition, by means of (4) rather than by way of limitation, the heterogeneous address and other network parameters required to establish the initial network connection may be statically pre-configured and stored in the non-volatile memory 〇2 in general. The singularity of the IP address and the like for establishing the initial network connection is omitted because such details are not necessary to fully understand the present invention and are well known to those skilled in the art. This particular embodiment of the interface controller 101 assumes the task of maintaining the network stack and produces the correct network packets and stores the reply IP address for each request. The pre-configuration of the removable network access point device of Figure 1 need only be performed once, or once for each change in the configuration or topology of the network. The processing state 104 implements a set of commands for device setup purposes. A device for providing a method of planning a network shared path, a shared name, and a password in accordance with those device setting commands has a configuration program. The device driver allows the device to handle low-level device assertions, while the configuration program handles high-level "faces for users and operating systems. For security purposes, the software supports and encourages the use of usernames and passwords. For security purposes, the software support checks the .admin password before entering the configuration mode. Once in the configuration mode, the software sets all network path k user names and passwords, and indicates the connection or some connections. In case the network does not support DHCP, it also allows the user to specify a static IP address to default the pull state to invalidate the configuration. In one other possible embodiment, there may be a way to reset the entire device to a pinhole in case a password is reached. This can be implemented as an electrical latch that, once set, will cause the 91436.doc 1333620 shared path. In a preferred embodiment of the removable network, access to the point device of the map is performed, and a network traffic is excluded from the USB or 1394 interface (10). Alternatively, and without limitation, all network traffic may prevent interference on the USB4i394 interface of the device, and the configuration data originally stored in the non-volatile memory 1〇2 may be included on the calling end of the device. Access the user name of the network and insult Beixun. In a preferred embodiment, it is preferred to block the user of the computer system attached to the device; the exchange of the g and the password data is: the driver blocks the access of the disk drive other than the __ area. Any command of the command 7, for example, can prevent any exchange of river-coupling commands for the computer system through the coffee or 1394 bus. In addition, because the network device maintains the network connection of the network connection, the computer system connected to the 1394 or the bus iG5 does not need any knowledge of network stacking, and does not need to be configured to access the shared disk drive of interest. Network. The im system does not even need to have a properly functioning network connection, or it may not have a network interface at all. In the fall, the computer system should have a working network that does not need to be split or reconfigured to access interested drives (shared drives accessed by removable network access point devices) . Moreover, for security purposes, it may be preferable to access information without a drought network. Thus, the configuration data stored in the non-volatile memory 102 may contain information related to the network stack to prevent or inhibit any exchange of network stack data with computers connected via the USB or 1394 interface. In a possible specific embodiment, the network between the servers sharing the drive and the folder is provided at the removable network access point. 9l436.doc -14. 1333620 Authentic & The software is required for both the removable network access point device and the feeder or the server for the disk drive. This may be implemented as a virtual private network (VPN) whose specifications are incorporated herein by reference or as any other equivalent security agreement, such as specifications, which are also incorporated herein by reference. In this particular embodiment of security, the device securely communicates information by sharing key values with the server. The shared drive will only be accessible from the removable network access point device.
