Chapter 7 Home Networking 7.1.2.3 About File Sharing User Account This gives you access to the file sharing server. It includes your user name and password. 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. Shares When settings are set to default, each USB device connected to the ZyXEL Device is given a folder, called a "share". If a USB hard drive connected to the ZyXEL Device has more than one partition, then each partition will be allocated a share. You can also configure a "share" to be a sub-folder or file on the USB device. 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 ZyXEL Device supports File Allocation Table (FAT), FAT32, and New Technology File System (NTFS). Common Internet File System The ZyXEL Device 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 ZyXEL Device. CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility). 7.1.2.4 About Media Server Media Server The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the ZyXEL Device (without having to copy them to another computer). The ZyXEL Device streams files to DLNA-compliant media clients without any configuration. 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 in order to make digital living easy and seamless. DLNA clients play files stored on DLNA servers. ADSL Series User's Guide 133
