Each field is described in the following table.

The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the USB 
storage device connected to your Device (without having to copy them to another computer). The 
Device can function as a DLNA-compliant media server. The Device streams files to DLNA-compliant 
media clients (like Windows Media Player). 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.

The Device media server enables you to:

• Publish all shares for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the 

Device.

• Use hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 to play the files. 

Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published shares. No user 

name and password or other form of security is used. The media server is enabled 

by default with the video, photo, and music shares published. 

To change your Device’s media server settings, click Network Setting > USB Service > Media 
Server. The screen appears as shown.
