The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the USB
storage device connected to your NBG6818 without having to copy them to another computer. The
NBG6818 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server, where the NBG6818 streams files to DLNA-
compliant media clients like Windows Media Player.
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.
The NBG6818 media server enables you to:
• Publish all share folders for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the
NBG6818.
• 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.
