ASCII.jp The wireless wireless dock "APS-WF01J-2" that is safe for backup of iPhone is amazing!

You're doing iPhone backup, of course, right?

　Suddenly, are you backing up your iPhone data properly?If you lose your iPhone or drop it and stop moving, all important data will be lost in an instant, so backup is important.

I don't know when the sudden misfortune will happen.Hard losses can be solved with money, but the important memories stored inside do not return.

　"iCloud" is the major way to back up the iPhone.If you use iCloud backup, you can basically back up your account information, documents, and app data for free.That said, this method is not without holes.The first is that Wi-Fi is essential.I am grateful to transfer GB class data, but if you live alone, it is unlikely that anyone can use it because some people do not have an internet line at home.Of course, you can manage to enter a restaurant in search of public wireless LANs, get permission and use the company's Wi-Fi, so you can't cover it.

Wi-Fi is required for backup with iCloud.If there is no Wi-Fi, backup work cannot be started.

　The second is that iCloud can be used for free up to 5GB.Recently, the number of pixels of the camera has increased, the number of photos is one MB, and the full HD and 4K are commonplace, so it is not unusual for hundreds of MB.Even if you take a normal meal or landscape, the total capacity is lightly exceeded 5GB.Just uploading this automatically exceeds the capacity of iCloud, so there is no capacity that can be used for backup.It is evident that even if the photos are organized and the capacity is secured for backup, it will quickly fill up.

　Of course, if you do not target an app with a large capacity, you will be able to back up, but if you can not leave the data that is not eligible, it will not be a perfect backup.If you completely forget what you have set up, assume that there is a backup in the cloud, and you will be in a hurry after resetting or replacing the iPhone, you will not be able to laugh.

　So what about the way to back up with a PC, though it takes some time?In this case, you do not need to worry about the capacity because you do not use iCloud, and you do not need Wi-Fi.However, this is also a story with the premise that you have a PC.In the first place, some people only use PCs at the company and have no PC at home.

The APS-WF01J-2 is active there!

　So what kind of method is good is to back up your iPhone -specific data to a simple iCloud, and use a large photo or video to a different backup method without using iCloud.The APS-WF01J-2, a pioneer, plays an active role in backup of this photo and video.At first glance, it looks like a slightly larger smartphone stand, but it is a multifunctional dock with a built-in Wi-Fi, which can easily back up photos and videos using a dedicated app.

Pioneer wireless dock "APS-WF01J-2".

The body is about the palm size.Comes with a spacer for connecting HDD and optical drive.

　It does not have a built -in HDD on the main unit, but has a USB port, and can back up photos and videos to USB memory and HDDs connected here.What is particularly nice is to copy only the data that is not the backup destination.It takes a lot of time to back up every time, but since it is only a copy of the difference, it is completed in a short time after the second time.Of course, there is no duplication of the file, so there is no need to worry that the HDD capacity will be compressed each time you back up.

　It also plays an active role as a management tool for photos, videos, and music files as well as backups.There are plenty of things you can do to create albums using photos, map display, calendar display, and comments on Facebook or Twitter.

　In addition, there are useful functions such as music import using optical drives and wirelessly wireless USB devices.If you classify and summarize it in three main categories, it will be as follows.

1."Backup" and "management" function of photos and videos 2.3. "Music import" function using optical driveThe "wireless" function of USB devices that make your computer convenient

　From the next page, I will try to see how each function can be used, but before that, let's first look at how to connect to the iPhone.

Before using it ... First, from the "APS-WF01J-2" connection settings

　First, from the basics of the connection.Install "Wireless Photo Server -Snap Pod ~" as a preparation for the iPhone.Next, connect the HDD or USB memory to the "APS-WF01J-2" so that you can copy photos and videos from the iPhone.

Put an HDD on the main unit and connect the cable.If the HDD is inserted into the slit part, it can be integrated, so there is no problem with the place.

　The connection between "APS-WF01J-2" and iPhone is Wi-Fi, but there are two ways to connect this Wi-Fi.One is an AP (access point) mode, which directly connects the iPhone and the "APS-WF01J-2".The advantage is that it can be used without difficult settings, but at the same time you will not be able to access the Internet with Wi-Fi.If you don't have Wi-Fi at home, use this method.

　Another method is ST (station) mode.The APS-WF01J-2 can be connected to the Wi-Fi router at home and coexist with the Internet.By using the "Easy Connection button", you can set the connection with the Wi-Fi router without using a PC, so if you use ST mode, use this function.

If there is no WiFi environment at home, AP mode is recommended, and ST mode is recommended.Switching can be performed with one switch.

　Both have different connection methods, and the functions that can be used from the iPhone are the same.If you don't have a Wi-Fi router in your house, it's recommended to choose AP mode, and ST mode.

　After choosing which mode to use, turn on the power supply of "APS-WF01J-2".In the case of AP mode, it can be seen from the iPhone as "WBD-XXXXXX" as an access point, so let's connect it there.The necessary information is written on the bottom, so if you set it while looking at it, it's OK.In the case of ST mode, just connect the iPhone to the Wi-Fi router of the house.

The SSID and keys required to connect in AP mode are written on the bottom of the main unit.Let's connect while looking at this.

　If you can connect with Wi-Fi, the preparation is completed.Let's use it immediately.
