Prerequisites

The Mybook Feature Manager needs the original PUBLIC shared folder on your Mybook.
Please recreate this folder and give permissions to all users to it if you have deleted this SHARE.

Check that your Mybook is ready for the upgrade :
1) launch internet Explorer on your Windows XP/Vista computer ( please start from a fresh internet explorer by closing all IE and launching a single new one.)
2) Copy paste the following url by changing <MYBOOK> with your Mybook IP Address :

http://Mybook-Ip-Address/auth/firmware_upgrade.pl?fwserver=highlevelbits.fr/download/MBWE/MBWE-Get-In-test

where <Mybook> is the ip address of your Mybook. ( probably something like 192.168.X.X )
You will be redirected to the Western Digital "Shared Storage Manager" interface :

NewFirmwareavailable.JPG
Click the button "Click to Download and install" then Wait without touching the interface
wait a few seconds ( typically 30 seconds) :

the following message is displayed :

CLOSE the Shared Storage Manager Internet Explorer.

Connect to your PUBLIC share and open the log file \\<Mybook>\PUBLIC\MBWE-Get-In-test.log
This file should contain " Congratulation : Firmware upgrade test is successfull ! ! ! "

No-Ip Client : If your public ip address is a dynamic ip address ( changes regularly), no-ip client will be interesting for you….

How to create your own feature pack :

it is very easy :

1) Create a subfolder into /shares/internal/PUBLIC/WWW/Admin/Mybook_Mgr

(give a good name like "MyFeaturePack")
create a script into this folder "start.sh" or any other name you want.
if you want to have a beautifull picture, put a "_.jpg" picture into the folder.
if you want to associate a picture to your script, put a <Scriptname>.jpg in the folder…

The Cupsd feature pack shows how to have a conditional script : the start script is clickable only if service cupsd is stopped…
The Generate FeaturePack script shows how to make FeaturePack with Forms for enabling selection from the user…

I will explain later in more details how you can make complex feature packs…
Note that scripts are launched as root.
