The following table describes the labels in this screen. 

The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the 
NSA (without having to copy them to another computer). The NSA can function as a DLNA-
compliant media server and/or an iTunes server. The NSA streams files to DLNA-compliant 
media clients or computers using iTunes. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a 
group of personal computer and electronics companies that works to make products 
compatible in a home network.

• Publish shares to let others play the contained media files.

Access

Select Enable Anonymous FTP Access to allow any user to log into the 
NSA using ‘FTP’ or ‘anonymous’ as a username and no password. Any 
other name is considered a username, so must be valid and have a 
corresponding correct password.

Character Set

The NSA uses UTF-8 (8-bit UCS/Unicode Transformation Format) format 
for FTP by default. If the NSA’s folders, or file names do not display 
correctly in your FTP client, select the appropriate language encoding 
here. 
This setting applies to all FTP client connections to the NSA. It does not 
affect your Windows/CIFS connections (it will not correct the character 
display in Windows Explorer).
