14.3 Using the Samba Server
A Samba Server is one of the most common ways to share files over a network. Samba
can also be used to stream your content on your local storage to other devices on your
network. To use the Samba service goes into the NMT Applications section of the Setup
menu and starts the service.
Please note that the service will remain on, even after a power cycle, until you go back
and stop it.
To access your Popcorn Hour A-500 over samba, type the IP address or hostname of the
device into the address bar on your computer’s file browser:
Example : \\PCH-A500\
\\192.168.1.101\
\\10.0.0.57\
Note: The device name by default is A-500 but can be changed in the Preference
section of the Setup menu.
When prompted, use the following credentials (unless you changed the samba
password):
Username : nmt
Password : 1234
