What you can do with the Home Server
Your Home Server provides additional storage for a wide variety of data, including music, photo, and video
contents, to personal computers via your home network or the Internet. It lets you access such data from a

distant locations via the Internet.

Network Alliance (DLNA) guideline (referred to as DLNA device, hereinafter).

What is DLNA?
DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance and represents the organization founded with the aim of implementing
connectivity among digital AV devices and personal computers on a home network. It also represents the standards set by
the organization. As digital video and audio contents are created in compliance with a variety of manufacturer-dependent
standards, the DLNA organization has been in action to build a framework for establishing home networks for sharing
such digital contents by defining a set of standards for file formats.
The devices that are compliant with the DLNA standards are referred to as DLNA devices and these devices are further
categorized into two types: server devices capable of storing digital video and audio contents and client devices capable of
playing such contents.
