D7 User Guide
Chapter 4 – Network Mode
There are 3 different kinds of network modes:
•
UPnP devices on local network
•
Media server on PC
•
Online premium content with direct internet access
UPnP devices
To access a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) device, all you need to do is connect it to the
same local network as your D7. Turn on the UPnP enabled NAS or Windows Media
Connect as an example, then turn on the D7. On boot up, it will automatically connect to
the network and list any compatible devices. Once mounted, you can access it from the
main screen.
For UPnP servers such as Windows Media Connect or other applications, make sure your
firewall is setup properly; otherwise D7 will not recognise the device.
Media Server
To use this mode, you need to install the included “MyHome” application or Windows
Media Connect on your computer. Connect the computer to the same network as your D7,
start the application and you will be able to access your shared files from the computer
directly on your D7.
To connect the D7 to your computer without a local network, use a cross over Ethernet
cable.
To setup a new media server, go to the main screen. It should automatically detect new
servers but if not, click on the add button. You will have to enter the name of your MyHome
server and the IP address of that computer. Once it is setup, you can access the server
from the main screen.
For more details regarding the “MyHome” application and Windows Media Connect,
please refer to the PDF manual on the included CD.
