If you have a networked home entertainment system, you can 
use Media Server to manage your digital photo, music and 
video collection on your Shared Storage Drive and use it with 
your entertainment system. Media Server can even search 
your iTunes Music folder for music and video files.

Media Server recognizes files in the following folders on your 
Shared Storage Drive: Our Photos, Our Music, Our Movies, My 
Photos, My Music, My Movies or My Multimedia. By placing 
your files in these folders, they will automatically be available 
for use with your entertainment system. In order to use Media 
Server, your entertainment system will need to be compatible 
with UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).

To enable Media Server on your Shared Storage Drive, click 
the Media Server button in the main EasyManage screen.

To enable Media Server:

1. From the EasyManage menu, click the Media Server button.

2. This will launch your browser. When prompted, type the 

User Name and Password to authenticate.

3. Click Login.

This will launch your browser directly to the Manage 
Digital Photos, Music, and Video page.

Note: See “The Web UI” later in this guide for details on
