Media Servers
This section of the guide provides more detail on the various media servers
available.
* UPnP AV or DLNA Server
The NMT will automatically detect all available UPnP AV or DLNA compliant content servers on
bootup and list them on the Media Source page. No additional setup is necessary on the NMT
itself. Some servers may require additional authorization configuration on the server side, such
as the WMP-NSS described next.
* Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service (WMP-NSS)
To enable WMP-NSS sharing to the NMT, the NMT must first be authorized. From the WMP-NSS
application, select the following menu options:
Tools->Options->Library->Configure Sharing
Click the checkbox next to the "Share my media to" menu item. You should now have a list of
detected devices to choose from on the menu below. Selecting a listed device and Right
Clicking on it will show you a list of options. Select Properties to view details about each device.
Find the device that matches the MAC address of your NMT and select the "Allow" menu item.

* Third Party developed Applications
With strong support from software developers among the user community, there are various
applications that enhances the usage of NMT. Do visit:
* Setting up the full NMT application suite
The NMT allows for the installation of an optional hard disk drive (HDD) that opens up a
range of extra functionality.
If your NMT does not already come with a pre-installed HDD, you can install your own HDD
and enable full NMT functionality by following the steps below :
1) Turn OFF the NMT
2) Attach a HDD directly to the NMT IDE or SATA connector and connect the molex
power supply
3) Power on the NMT and goto the Setup->Maintenance page and select the
"NMT setup wizard" option
4) Step through the NMT wizard to partition, format and install NMT applications on the HDD.
You can download the application binary onto a USB thumbdrive and use that as the
installation source. If you do not have the files to install the NMT applications available,
you can opt to install the apps directly from the internet. Please make sure you have a
internet connection available and that the NMT is connected to it.
Note: This step will DELETE ALL the data on your HDD !
5) After reboot, most of the NMT applications will start up automatically. To manually
adjust the settings for the NMT applications, goto the Setup page.
* Third Party HTML-based Servers
Due to the NMT's support for HTML based media stream extensions, there are many
open-source third party servers that are compatible with the Syabas-based NMT.
Some popular examples are:
- SwissCenter (http://www.swisscenter.co.uk)
- Llink (http://www.lundman.net/wiki/index.php/Llink)
- WizD for NMT (http://jhue.users.sonic.net/)

* USB Slave function
This only applies to some models which ship with a “USB-PC” connector, which allows
connection of the NMT to the PC and the HDD on the NMT will appear as a USB HDD
to the PC.
1. Power up NMT unit, plug in the provided cable between the “USB-PC” connector to a USB
slot on your PC.
2. When the unit is idle or in Browser mode, it will immediately switch the internal HDD to make
it visible to the PC as a USB HDD.
3. During this period, the NMT can still function as a basic DMA, all NMT applications will be
stopped at this point, however.
