10.11.1 Share Media Files on Your Network

The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the NAS
(without having to copy them to another computer). The NAS can function as a DLNA-compliant media
server and/or an iTunes server. The NAS streams files to DLNA-compliant media clients or computers
using iTunes. 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.

DESCRIPTION
Use this if you want to further specify a folder within the share. This field displays the share
folder's path. Type the location of the folder using forward slashes as branch separators or
use Browse to find or create a folder on the NAS.
After you click Apply in the Syslog Server screen the NAS creates a folder for the current
month's logs. The folder's name uses the year and month in YYYYMM format.
Select Enable Purge Policy and set a number of months in the Log Deletion Interval field that
displays to have the NAS delete the syslog messages after keeping them for the specified
period of time.
Regardless of how you set the purge policy, to save hard disk space the NAS archives the
syslog logs in a .tgz file on the second day of each month and deletes the original folder
and syslog files. The NAS creates a new folder for the syslog logs it receives after that. You
can use a zip program such as 7-zip to open the archives.
Select the format you want to use for recording the received logs.
The Example item below the drop-down list boxes displays how the selected custom format
looks. For example, if you select Full Date, the individual log entries would display with
something like 2009 May 13 17:15:51 in front of them.
