UPnP technology can run on many media that support IP including ethernet. No
special device driver support is necessary. Common network protocols are used
instead. The UPnP architecture allows device-to-device networking of personal
computers, networked electronic devices and wireless devices. It is a distributed,
open architecture protocol based on established standards such as the Internet
Protocol Suite (TCP/IP).
A UPnP media server is the server (a ‘master’ device) that provides media library
information and streams media data (audio files) to UPnP-clients on the network. It
is a computer system or a similar digital appliance that stores supported music files
and shares these with other devices on the network.
In order to play music from a local network computer or device, you will have
to configure the computer or device to allow media sharing first. We will explain
how to set up the UPnP service on Windows 7 machines. Make sure that the UPnP
service and all network sharing related services are running, and check the sharing
settings in network and sharing center on your computer. Make sure the computer
and PMR4000R are connected to the same local area network and check the
settings of the router and media server.
In Windows 7: Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing
Center\Advanced sharing settings:
Network discovery must be on.
File and printer sharing must be on.
Public folder sharing must be on.
Media streaming options: click “choose media streaming options”, when the
PMR4000R is connected to the same network and has received an IP address,
it will be shown in the list as follows: APart PMR4000R (followed by a unique
identifier). Select “Allowed” and save the changes. Click on “Customize” in the
dialog window and check the media streaming settings. Windows default sharing
settings do not always work as expected. Choose “Make all of the media in my
library available to this device” when in doubt.
When any of these settings is incorrect, the unit will not be able to discover your
media server(s) and shared media. Please note that redirected media folders
may not be detected by the UPnP device, depending on the network and firewall
settings implemented by network administrators. Storing the shared media folders
locally on the computer and adding them to your music library’s shared folders
may resolve this issue. Network firewalls may prevent accessing shared media. Ask
your network administrator for assistance in such cases.
