13.4 USB Media Sharing Screen
You can set up your ARMOR Z1 to act as a media server to provide media (like video) to DLNA-
compliant players, such as Windows Media Player, ZyXEL DMAs (Digital Media Adapters), Xboxes or
PS3s. The media server and clients must have IP addresses in the same subnet.
The ARMOR Z1 media server enables you to:
• Publish all folders for everyone to play media files in the USB storage device connected to the
ARMOR Z1.
• Use hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 to play the files.
Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published folders. No user
name and password nor other form of security is required.
The following figure is an overview of the ARMOR Z1’s media server feature. DLNA devices A and B
can access and play files on a USB device (C) which is connected to the ARMOR Z1 (D).
