Introduction - D-Link ShareCenter DNS-315 User Manual

Introduction

The D-Link DNS-315 1-Bay Network Storage, when used with an internal SATA drive, enables you to share documents, files,
and digital media such as music, photos, and video with everyone on the home or office network. Remotely accessing files
through the Internet is also possible with the built-in FTP server, and Web File server protocols. Whether you are allowing
access locally or over the Internet, keep data safe by only giving rights to specific users or groups. When configuring the DNS-
315, you can create users and groups and assign them to folders with either read or read/write permissions. This is ideal for an
office environment with employee-specific sensitive data or for the home where you can ensure your children will only have
access to age appropriate material. The DNS-315 will be available to any computer (PC, MAC, or Linux-based) on your network,
without the need to install any software on the computer.
Back up your music, photo, and video collections to the DNS-315 for safekeeping. Then, enjoy the benefits of the built-in UPnP
AV media server as you stream digital content to compatible media players (such as those found in D-Link's MediaLounge
2
product line). This feature is highly convenient as it allows you to turn off a computer that would normally be needed for the
same function.
1 Hard Drive not included.
2 D-Link cannot guarentee full compatibility or proper playback with all codecs. Playback capability depends on the codec support of the UPnP-AV media player.
