Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

If I am running Windows

®

Media Connect, do I need

to run the D-Link

®

Media Server software?

„

No, you may run both applications but it is not necessary to run both at
the same time.

What about Copy Protection and DRM support?

„

The most common method of copy protection is WMA DRM (Digital
Rights Management). The DSM-320RD can play these types of files if
you are using the Windows

®

Media Connect software. For instructions

on configuring Windows

®

Media Connect, please see page 29.

Can I use my Universal remote control?

„

No, the DSM-320RD is not compatible with a universal remote but you
can use a remote with learning ability.

Can I connect the DSM-320RD directly to a PC
without using a router or a hub?

„

Yes, please make note of the following:

Wireless Users: Set the Mode to Ad-Hoc in the wireless settings.

Wired Users: Connect an Ethernet cable directly from the DSM-320RD’s
Ethernet port to the Ethernet port on your PC. The DSM-320RD’s
Ethernet port is Auto MDI/MDI-X, so a special Ethernet cable is not
required.

All Users: If DHCP software isn’t running on your computer, you will
need to assign a static IP address to the DSM-320RD.

Note: Online Media and firmware upgrades are not available without
an Internet connection.

How do I change the bit rate of an audio file?

„

There are various conversion programs available for download on the
Internet.
