File sharing over a network lets you access media files or folders on your PC,
from your Cyclone MKV 2.
To allow your Cyclone MKV 2 to access multimedia file over a network, there
are two prerequisites.
Folder Sharing and Security Settings.
Ensure that the Cyclone MKV 2 and the PC are
configured to use the same Gateway and Subnet Mask.
Navigate to the folder you wish to share over the network and select it, do not
enter the folder.
Right click on the folder, and a small menu will appear near the mouse pointer .
Select “ sharing and Security ” from this menu.
A properties box will now appear. In this box click on the tab labelled
“ Sharing ” .
Once in the Sharing tab there are two radio buttons labelled “ Do not share this
folder ” and “ Share this folder ” .
Select th e “ Share this folder ” radio button to enable other computers to
access media files from it.
You may also want to set permissions for the folder. This will allow or prevent
users from making changes to the media files.
To set permissions, click on the “ Permissions ” button. This will bring up the
Permissions window.
In this window will be displayed the permissions, Full Control, Change and
Read.
Full Control: Gives the user full control of the folders content. This
option is highly advised not to allow this option.
Change: This option allows a user to modify the contents of the
shared folder.
Read: This option allows a user to access the media files only.
Tick the appropriate tick boxes best suited for your requirements.
When you have finished, click on “ Apply ” and then “ OK ” . This will take you
back to the previous window.
