Setting up your DLNA Server
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) service enables the Universal
Plug-and-Play (UPnP) protocol, so your SmartStor can function as a Digital
Media Server (DMS). When your DLNA service is enabled, you can connect your
DLNA control unit or UPnP client on the network where the SmartStor is
connected, and use the SmartStor to play image, audio, and AV media.
You must install the optional DLNA plug-in before you can make this setting and
use the UPnP protocol. See “Adding Plug-ins” on page 101.
The media content directory is under /VOLUME1/. Three
share folders are cre-
ated when you install the DLNA plug-in: PICTURE, MUSIC, and
MOVIE.
With the DLNA plug-in, SmartStor supports these media formats:
• Picture – bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, tif
• Music – mp3, pcm, wma
• Movie – avi, mpg, mpeg, wmv, tts, vob
Notes
• The Printer Server tab also verifies that your USB printer is
connected and online. If you do not see your printer on the
Printer Server tab, take the necessary action to connect and
power the printer. See “Connecting a USB Printer to
SmartStor” on page 29.
• The software driver for your printer must be installed on your
PC before you can print from the PC. See the printer’s Setup
Guide or User Manual.
