6.1 What is a UPnP media server?
UPnP media servers are devices or computers that allow you to play (multi)media files
over your network without further configuration. Your computer can be configured as a
UPnP media server when you install special software, or you can use a separate
UPnP media server device, like the Eminent EM4070 LAN disk. Most UPnP servers,
on a computer or as a separate device, allow you to share one or more folders with a
UPnP client.
You will therefore need a UPnP client, that receives the media streams that are sent
out by the UPnP media server in your network. Client and server are able to detect
each other without any further configuration of your network. The client can browse
the content of the server, and play the files on the server over the network using
streaming technology.
6.2 Using the wRADIO in combination with an Eminent
EM4070 LAN disk
We will now explain short how you can use the UPnP client of your wRADIO to
connect to the UPnP media server of the Eminent EM4070 Sharebox 3.5" IDE &
SATA. The EM4070 has a built-in media server, Twonky. The wRADIO will
automatically detect the Twonky module of the EM4070. You can then easily play the
music that is offered through the Twonky module of the EM4070.
1.
Make sure that your EM4070 is configured according to the manual and that you
have installed its Twonky module.
2.
Turn on the wRADIO and wait until it is started up. You can then press the
‘HOME’ button on the remote control.
3.
An extra option will be displayed automatically when a UPnP device is detected.
In the case of the image below, the Twonky module of the EM4070 is detected.
4.
Selected the name of your UPnP media server (e.g. TwonkyMusic) using the
arrow keys, and press the right arrow key once to continue.
5.
The screen ‘UpnP mediaserver’ is displayed, that will look like this:
