Default Acces network files with Blackberry device?

I recently upgrade to BES 5.0

One of the advertised features is the ability to open documents on network drives from the devices. This article below explains the feature, but does not tell you how to set it up or use it.

docs.blackberry.com/en/admin/deliverables/7335/Access_to_remote_documents_from_BB_devices_490401_ 11.jsp]Access to documents on a network from BlackBerry devices

Anyone know how to actually use this feature? I am a little confused why RIM would post an article about this option, but provide no help or instructions for it.

On your BlackBerry smartphone selection the menu option "Files"

Within the Files app type the IP Address of the location of the file you'd like to access.

Thanks Isaac. That worked, I can now browse my folders.

I can't open any of the files as I get errors whenever I try, but that's another issue
