Default Gateway
Default gateway is a node on a computer network that serves as an access point
to another network. A default gateway (such as a computer and router) is used to
forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the local subnet.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server
Provides a mechanism to allocate IP addresses to client hosts. In most cases, a
broadband router serves as a DHCP server in a home network.
DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance)
The DLNA authorised logo makes it easy for consumers to recognise products
that meet the new standard for home network PCs and other digital devices, as
set down in the DLNA Guidelines for interoperability. This allows music, video,
etc. to be enjoyed from various devices over a home network. This unit is
compatible with music, photo and video content, and is based on the DLNA
Home Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines - expanded: October 2006
(v1.5). This unit can be used to playback music, photos and video stored on a
DLNA-compatible server connected through a LAN cable.
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is dedicated to the simplified sharing of
digital content, such as digital music, photos and video among networked
consumer electronics (CE) and PCs. By establishing a platform of interoperability
based on open industry standards, DLNA delivers technical design guidelines
that companies can use to develop digital home products that share content
through wired or wireless networks in the home.
DNS (Domain Name Service) Server
DNS Server is a server that determines the name of network-computer within the
Internet. The server functions to exchange IP address to the hostname, hostname
to the IP address.
Ethernet
A frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs).
The flat screen TV supports 100BASE-TX.
IP (Internet Protocol) Address
A unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with
each other on a network utilising the Internet Protocol standard, such as
“192.168.1.xxx”. No duplicate numbers are allowed within the network.
LAN Cable
A cable that has an eight-pin modular plug on each end and is different from a
telephone plug which has four pins. A straight cable is used when connecting the
flat screen TV to a home network via a hub. A cross-over cable is used when
connecting directly to a PC. Use category 5 (CAT-5) LAN cables.
MAC (Media Access Control) Address
An address attached to the port of any network device with an IP address. The
MAC address is expressed as “00:e0:36:01:23:xx” and cannot be changed.
Mass Storage Class devices
The standard provides an interface to a variety of storage devices, such as USB
flash drive and digital cameras.
PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol)
A protocol that allows the transfer of images and manipulation of digital cameras
through USB connection. Most recent digital cameras and other devices support
PTP allowing the transfer of images through direct connections.
Subnet mask
Used to determine the network when IP addresses are broken into several parts.
It is expressed as “255.255.255.0”. In most cases, the Subnet mask is
automatically assigned by the DHCP server.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
Architecture for pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of devices of all form
factors. It is designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standardsbased connectivity
to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks whether in the home, in a small business,
public spaces, or attached to the Internet.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
USB provides a serial bus standard for connecting devices, usually to computers
such as PCs. The flat screen TV supports the Mass Storage Class and PTP
(Picture Transfer Protocol) devices.
Windows Media Connect
Microsoft Windows Media Connect is a new technology to distribute music,
photos and video stored on a PC with Windows XP installed to a stereo system of
TV. Using this technology you can playback files stored on the PC from various
devices wherever you like in your home.

video and other digital media content in a protected, encrypted file format.
Windows Media Player
A free digital media player application provided by Microsoft that is used for
playing audio, video and images on PCs.
