HTTP Server Setup
Microsoft IIS
You need to setup your PC as HTTP server, so it can become a content server to send media files to client
devices. Your Windows XP must be the
Professional
version. XP Home edition has no IIS (Internet
Information Services).
(Note: This can be downloaded as freeware http server software from
http://httpd.apache.org/
)
Microsoft XP Pro IIS (Internet Information System) installation procedure:
1. Go to Control panel and select Add/Remove programs
2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components on the left column
3. Check “IIS (Internet Information Services)” and install, you may be asked to insert your Microsoft
Installation CD.
4. After the installation is complete, a subfolder will be created under C:\inetpub\wwwroot
5. You can then create your subfolder to put all your media files in, also let wwwroot become a shared
folder. So all the subfolders under wwwroot can be accessed by an MP-1000 client’s request.
Important note:
If you encounter a http download error on MP-1000 Administration Tool, it is possible that the anonymous
access is not checked on the IIS property. Please follow the next screen grab to check your settings.
Note : Please disable Skype, or other Instant Messaging programs before using IIS.
