The D-Link MediaLounge
20 Gigabyte (DSM-602H) or a 40 Gigabyte (DSM-604H) portable HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
device that connects to a hub, switch, or router on a local area network(LAN) that includes
a DHCP server .
The DSM-600 series Digital Media Storage provides a fast and easy way to add high
performance storage capacity to home, small business or school networks. These Digital
Media Storage devices are ideal for sharing archived digital photos of family and friends,
digital videos, music, games, important documents or other files among computers and
other devices on your network.
These are true Universal Plug and Play products, providing high data transfer rates over
a Fast Ethernet connection and are compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linuxbased computers. For supported Windows operating systems, the UPnP protocol
allows for instantaneous discovery with no configuration required.
With Mac OS X, the DSM-602H/604H uses Apple’s Rendezvous for instant detection
with no configuration.
For added convenience, these digital media storage devices are also hot-swappable and
their Fast Ethernet ports are Auto MDI/MDI-X, meaning that you can use any type of
standard Ethernet cable — either straight-through or crossover cable to connect the
DSM-602H/604H to your network.
