NILES MUSIC SERVER SETUP

The IM-NET Integration Module will play all supported non-DRM (Digital Rights Management) music 

files when they are accessed via a DLNA compliant music server. If you do not already have a DLNA 

compliant music server to access your music library, you may utilize the Niles Music Server powered by 

Twonky™. To install the Niles Music Server, please follow the instructions below. The Niles Music Server 

must be installed on each computer where a music library resides. A license key is included with each IM-

Net module purchased. The license key can be used on up to 3 different computers in your home.
