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.

Note:

If you have a version of the D-Link

Media Server already installed on your system, please

uninstall the software and restart your system before installing a newer version of the software.
