The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics companies
that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files stored on DLNA
servers. The NBG7815 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream files to DLNA-
compliant media clients without any configuration.
Workgroup name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such
as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing feature
on your NBG7815 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32 file
systems.
