USB Media Sharing
23.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the media sharing settings on the EMG6765-Q10A.
Note: The read and write performance may be affected by amount of file-sharing traffic on
your network, type of connected USB device and your USB version (1.1 or 2.0).
Media Server
You can set up your EMG6765-Q10A to act as a media server to provide media (like video) to DLNA-
compliant players, such as Windows Media Player, Zyxel DMAs (Digital Media Adapters), Xboxes or PS3s.
The media server and clients must have IP addresses in the same subnet.
The EMG6765-Q10A media server enables you to:
• Publish all folders for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the
EMG6765-Q10A.
• Use hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 to play the files.
Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published folders. No user
name and password nor other form of security is required.
The following figure is an overview of the EMG6765-Q10A’s media server feature. DLNA devices
