Accessing the media server
Connecting to the media server
remotely over the network
You can access the media server from any computer connected through the LAN. However,
make sure the LAN security settings allow remote access.
To access the media server, open a Web browser or a terminal emulation application. In the
address field, type in the IP address or DNS host name assigned to the media server you want
to access.
You can also use the active (alias) media server address to connect automatically to the media
server that is active.
