Setup 4: Setting up "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM" (continued) To delete a Unit from the "Permitted List" or "Denied List" 1 Select the Unit you want to delete from the "Permitted List" or the "Denied List." 2 Click "Delete" at the center of the window. The name of the selected Unit disappears from the "Permitted List" or the "Denied List." 3 Click "OK" or "Apply." The selected Unit is deleted from the list. If an access request received from the deleted Unit, it is added to the "Denied List" automatically. Note For security reasons, it is strongly recommended that your network be protected by a router or firewall device if it is connected to the Internet. If your network is connected to the Internet and is not protected by such a device, it is strongly recommended that the default setting that causes new devices to be automatically placed on the "Denied List" be maintained. If you change the "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM" settings so that new devices are automatically placed on the "Permitted List," unauthorized users on the Internet may be able to access shared content on your "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM" computer. Setting up a shared folder from "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM" You can add a shared folder or stop sharing a folder from within either the Utility for In-Wall Unit software or "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM." For details about adding a shared folder and stopping a folder from being shared, see page 26. To rebuild the Media Server database Ordinarily, the "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM" automatically keeps track of changes to the files in shared folders. In rare situations, however, the Media Server may be unable to recognize changes to shared files. For example, if another program modifies a shared audio file, but does not update the file's modification time stamp, the Media Server may be unaware of the change and therefore not update its database of shared file information. In this situation, you can manually force the Media Server to rebuild its database so it contains the latest shared file information. 1 Click the "Shared Folder" tab on the "Server Setup, powered by DiXiM" window. 2 Click the path of the folder whose database information you want to rebuild from the "Published Folder List." 3 Click "Rebuild Database." A confirmation window appears. 4 Click "Yes." The server database is rebuilt. Notes • Files and folders whose "Hidden files" property check box is selected cannot be accessed. • The time required to rebuild the database varies with the number of files included in the shared folder. Depending on the situation, it might take a considerable amount of time to rebuild. • A "Shared folder" (page 26) and a "Watched folder" (this page) are the same thing. Chapter 1 Getting Started 24
