22.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to configure the media sharing settings on the EMG2926-Q10A.
Note: The read and write performance may be affected by amount of file-sharing traffic
on your network, type of connected USB device and your USB version (1.1 or 2.0).
Media Server
You can set up your EMG2926-Q10A to act as a media server to provide media (like video) to DLNA-
compliant players, such as Windows Media Player, ZyXEL DMAs (Digital Media Adapters), Xboxes or
PS3s. The media server and clients must have IP addresses in the same subnet.
The EMG2926-Q10A media server enables you to:
• Publish all folders for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the
EMG2926-Q10A.
• Use hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 to play the files.
Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published folders. No user
name and password nor other form of security is required.
The following figure is an overview of the EMG2926-Q10A's media server feature. DLNA devices A
and B can access and play files on a USB device (C) which is connected to the EMG2926-Q10A (D).
