5.1.1.11. Configuring Network (LAN) Replay via UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is an industry standard to allow the sharing of media resources in a
local network based on standards like TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, HTTP and XML. UPnP enables zero-
configuration networking whereby a compliant device can dynamically join a network, announce its
name, convey its capabilities upon request, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other
devices. One common use is for a networked music player like the DMW300 to stream and play the
music files stored in a PC's (or NAS's) hard disk drive. There are 3 components in an UPnP network:
media server, renderer and control point. The control point discovers the media server and render-
ers in the network and controls how the media from the server is streamed to a renderer. For exam-
ple, Windows Media player 11 and 12 contain a media server that contains and manages the media
content for your DMW300 to list and play. In this case, your Receiver acts as both a control point and
renderer. Your DMW300 has been tested to be compatible with the Media player 11 and 12 server
implementations, the Twonky media server and the media server found in NetgearStorage NAS. You
can use other media servers provided they are compliant with the UPnP specifications. To start,
enable the UPnP function of both the PC and the router that connects the local network to enable
your DMW300 to stream the music files in your PC for playback.
5.1.1.11.1. Enable UPnP function in Wifi AP/Router
Make sure it supports UPnP and that the function is turned on. Read the instruction manual of your
Wifi AP/router carefully and make sure it's latest firmware and drivers are installed.
5.1.1.11.2. Enable UPnP in Windows XP
Windows XP (> Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Compo-
nents)
UPnP is not enabled by default in Windows XP and you need to turn it on by yourself. Click Start, click
Control Panel and then click Add or Remove Programs. In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box,
click Add/Remove Windows Components. In the Windows Components Wizard, click Networking
Services, click Details and then select the Universal Plug and Play check box. Click [ENTER] and then
click Next in the Windows Components Wizard. Open My Network Places to check the available
UPnP-enabled devices in the local network. You should be able to see at least one device, your
DMW300.
A digital media server is required to make the media available to your DMW300. Windows Media
Player11 has an integrated digital media server. Download and install Windows Media Player 11 if
you have an earlier version. Click the arrow below the Library tab and then click Media Sharing. In the
Media Sharing dialog box, select the "Share my media to" check box. In the list of devices below the
"Share my media to" check box, select your DMW300, click Allow.
Media files must be stored in the monitored folders before they can be shared in Windows Media
Player 11. When the player is first started, it will automatically search certain folders for digital media
to add to the library. To add your contents to the library: Click the arrow below the Library tab, click
Add to Library. In the Add to Library dialog box, click the folders you want the library to monitor for
update.
