Adding Plug-ins
Application plug-ins are enhancements to SmartStor’s capabilities. Available
plug-ins include:
• DLNA server – Enables SmartStor to support the UPnP protocol and
function as a Digital Media Server (DMS).
• iTunes server – Enables SmartStor to be a shared resource in the Apple
iTunes user interface.
• BT server – Enables SmartStor to automatically download Bit Torrrent, FTP,
and HTTP files using SmartNAVI. See “Adding a Link” on page 81.
PASM installs plug-ins from a folder on the SmartStor. SmartNAVI installs plug-
ins from your PC. Also see “Adding Plug-ins” on page 77.
Download your plug-ins from the Promise Support Website. Plug-in file names
end with a .ppg extension. Place the plug-in file into a folder on the SmartStor.
