Using Media Server

Use Media Server to Manage Your Digital Photo, Music and Video Collection

If you have a networked home entertainment system, you can use Media Server to manage your digital photo, music and video collection on your Shared Storage Drive and use it with your entertainment system. Media Server can even search your iTunes Music folder for music and video files.

Media Server recognizes files in the following folders on your Shared Storage Drive: Our Photos, Our Music, Our Movies, My Photos, My Music, My Movies or My Multimedia. By placing your files in these folders, they will automatically be available for use with your entertainment system. In order to use Media Server, your entertainment system will need to be compatible with UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).

To enable Media Server on your Shared Storage Drive, click the Media Server button in the main EasyManage screen.

To enable Media Server:

1.From the EasyManage menu, click the Media Server button.

2.This will launch your browser. When prompted, type the User Name and Password to authenticate.

3.Click Login.

This will launch your browser directly to the Manage Digital Photos, Music, and Video page.

Note: See “The Web UI” later in this guide for details on using the Maxtor Shared Storage Web UI - Manage Digital Photos, Music, and Video for more information on configuring these settings.
