Sharing Media Content over the Internet
There are two methods for sharing media content on your ix12-300r with anyone on the internet. You can
enable internet access on the Media Server page. Alternatively, you can enable internet access by
configuring your LenovoEMC Personal Cloud .
Enabling Internet Access from the Media Server Page
You can only enable internet access from the Media Server page if you have already created and
configured a Personal Cloud . If a Personal Cloud is not set up, you do not see the Enable internet
access option.
1. On the Media Server page, click Settings.
2. In the dialog box, check Enable internet access.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.
4. In the confirmation dialog box, check Check this box to continue.
5. Click OK to save your selection or click Cancel.
To access media content, internet users enter a non-secure IP address in their browser along with the port
number 50599 used to access the media server, for example, http://72.xx.xxx.104:50599, where "x" is the
IP value for your network. When a user enters this IP address, the Twonky Server page on the ix12-300r
displays. Refer to the Support section of the Twonky Server page for information on using the server.
LenovoEMC Link users can access media content directly from the ix12-300r. Refer to your LenovoEMC
Link documentation for details.
For additional information on enabling internet access, refer to Media Services Capabilities and
Limitations .
