Installing the D-Link® Media Server Software
To share audio 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 files you want to share. The D-Link® Media Server software then streams the information
to your DSM-120 via your wired/wireless network connection.
Currently the DSM-120 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.

Some of my MP3 and WMA files don’t appear.
The DSM-120 supports the most common music file formats. However, there are
almost an infinite variety of bit rates and sample rates. If a file does not appear on
the receiver, it most likely uses an unsupported rate.
The files may be copy protected. To share your files, turn copy protection off when
you rip them
Note: WMA DRM files can be played by using Windows® Media Connect Server
software, see page 23 for details.
The following MP3 sample rates are supported:
4, 8, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.
For best results, rip your MP3 files at 320 kbps or higher, with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
Troubleshooting
I am not able to play certain media files.
The DSM-120 supports most industry standard file formats but even supported file
formats can be encoded in ways that are not supported. Try exporting media with

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link® DSM-120 can be integrated into a wireless network from virtually anywhere within
its operating range. However, the range can be limited by the number of walls, thickness of
walls, and location of the walls that the wireless signal must pass through. Typical ranges vary
depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home
or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DSM-120 and other network
devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your DSM-120’s range from
3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5
meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree
angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
Building materials can impede the wireless signal. A solid metal door or aluminum
studs may have a negative effect on the range. Try to position wireless devices and
computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways and not other materials.
Appendix
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate RF noise.
You can also add a directional antenna to help with range and sensitivity issues.

Partitioning a FAT32 Hard Drive
The 127.5 GB limit on FAT32 volumes imposed in Windows 98 no longer applies to Windows
ME. In Windows ME, using a cluster size of 32 KB, a FAT32 volume can theoretically be
about 8 terabytes. However, the 32-bit fields in the partition table (and in the FAT32 boot
sector) limit the size of an individual volume (regardless of file system) on a basic MBR
disk using a sector size of 512 bytes to approximately 2 terabytes.
Appendix
FAT32 file system cluster sizes
Partition Size Cluster Size
less than 260MB 512 Bytes
260MB through 8GB 4KB
8GB through 16GB 8KB
16GB through 32GB 16KB
32GB through 2TB 32KB
However, as Windows 2000 or Windows XP fully supports using a FAT32 partition over
32GB, and only does not permit formatting a FAT drive over 32GB, it is possible to use a
Windows 98 or Windows Me boot diskette to get a larger FAT partition formatted. Just be
extremely careful that the correct partition is formatted when booting from a diskette.

Glossary
Networking
802.11b: A wireless networking standard that supports data encryption and up to 11Mbps
bandwidth.
802.11g: A wireless networking standard that supports data encryption and up to 54Mbps
bandwidth.
Ad-Hoc: This wireless networking mode means that two PC’s are communicating in a Peerto-Peer network, without a router or an access point.
Bandwidth: A measure of the rate at which data can be sent and received through the network.
This value is usually given in bits per second (bps) or Megabits per second (Mbps).
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): A protocol that network devices use to obtain an
IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS addresses automatically. A DHCP server can
be a router, ISP server, or PC running Internet Connection Sharing software. If you are using
a DHCP-capable device in your network, you will not need to assign a static IP address to
your DSM-120. However, if you do not have a DHCP-capable device in your network, you
will need to assign a static IP address to your DSM-120.
Glossary
DNS (Domain Name System): A system used to translate computer names into IP addresses.
For example, a DNS server would translate www.dlink.com into 64.7.210.132
Ethernet: The most commonly used wired network technology. Standard Ethernet supports
up to 10Mbps. Fast Ethernet supports up to 100Mbps.
Gateway: This is the IP address of the device that connects you to another network such as a
router. A router would be the gateway between your local area network and the Internet.
Infrastructure: This wireless networking mode is used by wireless networks with a router or
an access point.
IP Address (Internet Protocol Address): An IP address consists of four groups of digits separated
by periods. Each group of digits contain an 8-bit value as a number ranging from 0 to 255.
Each computer must have it’s own unique IP address. The IP addresses on your network
must be within the same range. For example, if one PC or device has an IP address of
192.168.0.2, the other devices should have IP addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3
and 192.168.0.4.
ISP (Internet Service Provider): A commercial organization that provides subscribers with
access to the Internet.
Key: Encryption keys allow you to easily change wireless encryption settings to maintain a
secure network. The DSM-120 supports 64-bit and 128-bit keys.
Netmask: Commonly referred to as subnet mask, this is used to determine what subnet an
IP address belongs to.
RJ-45: RJ-45 is the standard connector for Ethernet cabling. It looks like a phone cable
connector, but is slightly larger. RJ-45 connectors have 8 pins, 4 of which are used for
transmitting and receiving data.
D-Link Systems, Inc.

DSM-120 User’s Manual
SSID (Service Set Identifier): The name designated for a specific wireless local area network
(WLAN). The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an existing wireless network.
Static IP: A static IP address is configured manually on the device that will be using it. A static
IP address remains the same constantly and must be a unique address.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): A security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLAN)
that is designed to provide the same level of security as a wired network. WEP provides
security by encrypting the data sent over the WLAN. The DSM-120 supports 64-bit and 128bit encryption.
Wired: Devices networked via Ethernet cabling.
Wireless: Devices networked using radio frequencies instead of physical cabling.
Music
M3U is a playlist format and is the default playlist format of WinAMP and most other media
player software. It allows multiple files to be queued in a program in a specific format.
Glossary
MP3 is the file extension for MPEG-1, audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding schemes
(layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3 removes the
redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal, which the human ear does not hear. It uses
Modified Discrete Cosine Transform to implement a filter bank, increasing the frequency
resolution 18 times higher than that of layer 2.
PLS is a proprietary playlist format used for playing Shoutcast and other audio streams.
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and is an audio format that was created by Microsoft.
It is similar to MP3, although WMA can compress at a higher rate than MP3.
