What you can do with the Home Server

Your Home Server provides additional storage for a wide variety of data, including music, photo, and video

contents, to personal computers via your home network or the Internet. It lets you access such data from a

TV in your living room or an audio device via the home network or share it with your family and friends in

distant locations via the Internet.

Note

Access to the content of the Home Server can only be made from the network devices that comply with the Digital Living

Network Alliance (DLNA) guideline (referred to as DLNA device, hereinafter).

What is DLNA?

DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance and represents the organization founded with the aim of implementing

connectivity among digital AV devices and personal computers on a home network. It also represents the standards set by

the organization. As digital video and audio contents are created in compliance with a variety of manufacturer-dependent

standards, the DLNA organization has been in action to build a framework for establishing home networks for sharing

such digital contents by defining a set of standards for file formats.

The devices that are compliant with the DLNA standards are referred to as DLNA devices and these devices are further

categorized into two types: server devices capable of storing digital video and audio contents and client devices capable of

playing such contents.
