16.3 The Media Server Screen
The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the USB
storage device connected to your Zyxel Device without having to copy them to another computer. The
Zyxel Device can function as a DLNA-compliant media server, where the Zyxel Device 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 Zyxel Device media server enables you to:
• Publish all shares for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the Zyxel
Device.
• 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 shares. No user name
and password or other form of security is used. The media server is enabled by default
with the video, photo, and music shares published.
