Installing the D-Link®Media Server Software
To share audio, video, and photo files from your computer, it is necessary to install the D-Link®Media Server software on the PC that contains the files you want to share. The D-Link®Media Server software allows you to point to the folders on your PC’s hard drive that contain the audio, video, and photo files you want to share. The D-Link®Media Server software then streams the information to your DSM-320 via your wired/wireless network connection.
Currently the DSM-320 only connects to one Media Server at a time. If more than one PC contains files you want to share, you can select one of the following options:
1.Copy all of the files to one computer designated to run the D-Link®Media Server Software.
2.Map network drives from the computer with the D-Link®Media Server software to additional computers that contain files you want to share. This method also allows you to share files from computers that cannot run the D-Link®Media Server software such as Macintosh systems. The computer running the D-Link®Media Server software must always be on when streaming content from any computer.
3.Install the D-Link®Media Server software on each computer. You can only connect to one server at a time. To connect to another server, you must go into the setup and change the Default Server.
To install the D-Link®Media Server software, follow the steps on the following pages.
Note: If you have a version of the D-Link®Media Server already installed on your system, please uninstall the software and restart your system before installing a newer version of the software.
