Hardware Installation and Connection
Preparation
Your Home Server is intended for use on a network.
For detailed instructions on connecting the Home Server to a network, refer to the Setup Guide.
Tip
In a stand-alone environment, the Home Server can provide:
Access to the content of the Home Server from a DLNA device (page 40).
Data import from the USB mass storage class device, such as a digital still camera and a digital camcorder, or a
memory card (page 28).
Sharing your Home Server with 2 or more personal computers
You can access your Home Server from 2 or more personal computers as long as the Home Server and the
computers are connected to the same network. In addition, you can install the PC Link software on each
computer to use the Back Up function (page 32).
1
Connect the Home Server and the personal computers to the same network.
2
Install the PC Link software on each computer with the supplied CD-ROM disc and
complete the initial setup of the software.
For further information on the initial setup, refer to the Setup Guide.
Tip
If the Receive folder name for the Back Up function is not unique on the Home Server, a sequential number in
parentheses, (2) or (3) for example, is automatically appended to the end of the folder name.
Precautions on the recovery after power failures
In case of a blackout, or when you unplug the power cord while your Home Server is still on, it will recover
to its previous state. Please note it might take some time before you can use the user due to automatic file
recovery.
Precautions on the NETSERVER switch
When the NETSERVER switch (page 13) is turned off, you cannot use the following Remote Home Access
functions:
VAIO Picture Lab
Media Link
Data Sync (receiving) from other Home Servers and personal computers.
