The Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d has a built-in media server that, when turned on, can scan for media content in specific folders that have media sharing

enabled. Any media content contained in these specific folders will be scanned by the Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d media server and be accessible to any user

on your network with a media player. For information on enabling a folder as a media folder, refer to

Scanning for media content

The Media Server automatically scans for media content on a regular basis. However, you can click Scan now at any time to force the media server to

perform an immediate scan for media content. This is especially useful after you have created new folders with media sharing enabled and copied a large

amount of media content to them.

Enabling media aggregation

If you have multiple Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) servers in your network that have media content, you can combine all media content into one view

by enabling aggregation on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. When you enable aggregation, all media content on DLNA servers is available for playback using

a DLNA player, such as Playstation®3, Windows Media Player®, or Xbox 360®. In addition, you can optionally copy all media content from your network servers

to your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.

To set up media aggregation, choose one of the following options:

None — This is the default setting, and media aggregation is off.

Show Common View — This enables media aggregation and allows all media content from DLNA servers to be played back by a DLNA player. All your

movies, music, and pictures from various servers can be played back from one view.

Copy Files — This enables media aggregation and copies all media content from DLNA servers to your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d. All your movies,

music, and pictures from various servers can be played back from one view, and they are copied into Shares on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d.

When you enable media aggregation, the media server is restarted, and any media you are currently streaming will stop playing. You can

begin streaming your media after the media server has restarted.

Sharing media content over the internet

The media server can share media content on your Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d with anyone on the internet. The Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d Console
