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-320RD via your wired/wireless network connection.
Currently the DSM-320RD 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
Server Software.
®
2. Map network drives from the computer with the D-Link
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.
