Setting up your DLNA Server
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) service enables the Universal 
Plug-and-Play (UPnP) protocol, so your SmartStor can function as a Digital 
Media Server (DMS). When your DLNA service is enabled, you can connect your 
DLNA control unit or UPnP client on the network where the SmartStor is 
connected, and use the SmartStor to play image, audio, and AV media.
You must install the optional DLNA plug-in before you can make this setting and 
use the UPnP protocol. See “Adding Application Plug-ins” on page 143.
The media content directory is under /VOLUME1/. Three share folders are 
created when you install the DLNA plug-in: PICTURE, MUSIC, and MOVIE.
With the DLNA plug-in, SmartStor supports these media formats:
•
Picture – bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, png, tif
•
Music – mp3, pcm, wma
Notes
•
The Printer Server tab also verifies that your USB printer is 
connected and online. If you do not see your printer on the 
Printer Server tab, take the necessary action to connect and 
power the printer. See “Connecting a USB Printer to 
SmartStor” on page 39.
•
The software driver for your printer must be installed on your 
PC before you can print from the PC. See the printer’s Setup 
Guide or User Manual.
