Transporter™ Owner’s Guide
Third-Party firewalls: Instructions for conguring common rewall applications,
including Norton Personal Firewall, Norton Internet Security, ZoneAlarm, McAfee Security
Center, Trend-Micro PC-Cillin, can be found by searching the FAQ for the rewall name at:
http://faq.slimdevices.com/. If your rewall allows you to open specic ports, the ports
you need to open are:
• Port 3483 (UDP protocol)
• Port 3483 (TCP protocol)
• Port 9000 (TCP protocol)
Transporter can’t connect to my computer running SlimServer and I’ve already
checked my rewall.
VPN clients for connecting to corporate networks remotely can also cause this behavior.
If you can nd rewall options in your VPN client. Some examples of VPN clients include
Cisco VPN Client and Checkpoint VPN+Firewall-1.
My computer is displaying an error that says that another device on my network is
using the same IP address.
If you have a Transporter and you have connected it using both ethernet and wireless,
your Transporter may be set up for bridging and has created a “loop” in your network
and you need to disconnect one of your network connections. Unplug the ethernet
connection or go back to the setup screens to set up your Transporter to connect using
ethernet.
I’m trying to use a mapped network drive like Y:\ for my Music folder on my
Windows computer and it does not work.
Use a UNC-style path to specify your music library in the Server Settings page. Instead of
X:\path for a mounted volume, use \\SERVERNAME\path\ style addressing. This works
for some servers where direct volume letter mapping does not. You may have to use the
IP address of the machine sharing the network drive (for example: \\192.168.1.105\
Files\Music\). Please note that in order for this to work, the network share must not
require authentication (a username or password).
how do I use multiple folders or disks with my music library?
You can create links or shortcuts to other folders and place them in your specied Music
Library Folder. The contents of the linked folders will then be part of your Music Library.
More information about this can be found in the FAQ at http://faq.slimdevices.com/.
I added some music to my library but it’s not showing up.
If you add music to your music library, you may need to tell SlimServer to rescan your
music library. From the web interface, click Server Settings, and click Rescan. SlimServer
begins to examine your music folder, looking for new music.
Depending on how much music you have, this could take several minutes. The new
music will not appear in your music library on the SlimServer until the rescan is complete.
