Address field, enter http://www.ciscomediahub.com and
press Enter.

allows full access to the Media Hub; the Guest Password allows access
restricted to the media content of the Media Hub and is set up through the
Configuration utility). Click Submit.
Remote access to the Media Hub is now established.
NOTE:
Playing video files over remote access requires the same
plug-ins you have installed on your home computer. Video playback
support over remote access depends on the broadband speeds of
both your home connection and remote connection. Video playback
should be limited to smaller video files, as larger video files may take
a long time to load and play.
Media Server
The Media Hub can stream media content to other UPnP AV-enabled (or
DLNA-certified) devices, such as a digital media adapter or a gaming console
with a built-in media player.
Direct Connection of USB Storage Devices
You can connect USB storage devices to the USB ports on the Media Hub, so
you can access the files on the USB storage devices.
