CHAPTER 11
Media Server
11.1 Overview
The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and
photos from the USB storage device connected to your ZyXEL Device (without
having to copy them to another computer). The ZyXEL Device can function as a
DLNA-compliant media server. The ZyXEL 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.
11.1.1 What You Can Do
Use the Media Server screen (Section 11.2 on page 194) to enable or disable the
sharing of media files.
11.1.2 What You Need to Know in this Chapter
The ZyXEL Device media server enables you to:
• Publish all shares for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device
connected to the ZyXEL 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.
