The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics companies
that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files stored on DLNA
servers. The NBG6818 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream files to DLNA-
compliant media clients without any configuration.
Workgroup name
This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such
as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network.
File Systems
A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often
different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing feature
on your NBG6818 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32 file
systems.
The NBG6818 uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS
compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the NBG6818. CIFS
