Installing the D-Link® Media
Server Software
To share audio, video, and photo files from your computer, it is necessary to
install the D-Link® Media Server software on the PC that contains the files you
want to share. The D-Link® Media Server software allows you to point to the
folders on your PC’s hard drive that contain the audio, video, and photo files
you want to share. The D-Link® Media Server software then streams the
information to your DSM-320RD via your wired/wireless network connection.
Currently the DSM-320RD only connects to one Media Server at a time. If more
than one PC contains files you want to share, you can select one of the following
options:
1. Copy all of the files to one computer designated to run the D-Link® Media
Server Software.
2. Map network drives from the computer with the D-Link® Media Server
software to additional computers that contain files you want to share. This
method also allows you to share files from computers that cannot run the
D-Link® Media Server software such as Macintosh systems. The computer
running the D-Link® Media Server software must always be on when
streaming content from any computer.
3. Install the D-Link® Media Server software on each computer. You can only
connect to one server at a time. To connect to another server, you must go
into the setup and change the Default Server.
To install the D-Link® Media Server software, follow the steps on the following
pages.
Note: If you have a version of the D-Link® Media Server already installed on your
system, please uninstall the software and restart your system before installing a
newer version of the software.

Organizing Music Files
Music files are located on your PC and can be contained in one directory folder,
or organized in several subfolders.
The DSM-320RD automatically organizes your music files by genres, artists,
albums, and tracks. This information is obtained from the ID3 tags in each of
your music files. The ID3 tag is created for you when you rip (copy) your music
from your CD. However, if your music files have incorrect or incomplete tags,
the tracks may not appear where they should in your music categories.

Creating Music Playlists
Use your favorite music software on your PC to create music playlists. Aplaylist
allows you to specify exactly what tracks to play and in what order to play
them. For example, create a “favorites” playlist and just listen to your favorite
tracks. Save the playlist in the industry standard .m3u playlist format.
The DSM-320RD will play tracks from playlists you create on your computer.
The media player supports playlists in two standard formats:
„
„
m3u MPEG Playlist File
pls MPEG Playlist File
Software for playing music on your PC can be used to create playlists.
WinAmpTM and Microsoft Windows Media PlayerTM are two examples.
Playing a Playlist
To play all the tracks in a playlist, highlight the playlist name and press the
PLAY button. All tracks will be played in the order they appear in the playlist.
Controlling Music Playback
Your DSM-320RD works just like a stereo or CD player. Controlling your music
playback will be an easy and natural experience. Use the remote to PLAY,
PAUSE, or STOP music.
Playing a Group of Songs
Highlight any folder and press the PLAY button on the remote control. All of the
songs within the selected folder will be played. You can highlight a genre of
music and all files that are associated with that genre will be played. Genre
categories are defined when an audio file is created.
You can play songs within a folder from a specified track forward. For instance,
if you have a folder with ten tracks and select Track 3, clicking on the PLAY
button will play tracks 3 through 10. Note: If you press the ENTER button on the
remote control instead of the PLAY button, only the selected track (Track 3) is

Photo (continued)
Organizing Photo Albums
Unlike music files, photos contain little information about their content. Therefore,
photos are organized by their filename and by the folder they are in. Many
digital cameras will organize your photos into folders when you connect and
unload them to your PC. Each time you dock or connect, a new folder is created
using the current date and time, and all photos are copied into that folder.
To simplify browsing on your DSM-320RD, you can create folders on your PC.
For instance, create a folder in the My Pictures directory called Vacation and
copy all of your vacation photos into it. Your DSM-320RD will show the Vacation
folder. To play a slideshow of the folder, highlight it and press the PLAY button.
To view a list of photos in the folder, highlight it and press the right arrow
button.
You can give your photos meaningful names by renaming the files on the PC.
Most digital cameras number photos sequentially. For example, rename the
photo IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg on your PC. The photo will be displayed as
sunset.jpg on your DSM-320RD*.
If the file extension does not appear as part of
Right-click on the file and
the name displayed when you select rename,
select Rename.
then it is not necessary to enter the file
extension (.jpg) at the end of the filename. To
rename IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg, type in
sunset and hit Enter on your computer’s
keyboard.
sunset
If the file extension appears as part of the name
when you select rename, then be sure to
include the extension when renaming the file.
To rename IM001125.jpg to sunset.jpg, type
in sunset.jpg and hit Enter on your computer’s
keyboard.
You can create as many folders as you need. Create a folder for the year, then
create folders inside for each of the months, and then folders in each month
for special occasions (birthday, vacation, holidays, etc...).
*Folder creation and renaming files must be done on the PC via standard
Windows procedures.

have started a photo slideshow, use the remote to PLAY, PAUSE, or STOP the
show. Press the PREV and NEXT buttons to skip to the previous or next photo.
To set the amount of time before the next photo in a slideshow is displayed,
click SETUP on your remote and select General/additional settings. You can

Encryption: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) & WPA (WiFi Protected Access;
a wireless standard designed to improve upon the security features of WEP),
are two encryption technologies used by wireless devices. The type of encryption
determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit
encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal -
using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so
you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted
to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined, so that you can
change keys easily. WPA-PSK-TKIP requires your router and the DSM-320RD
to have the same pre-shared key to establish a wireless connection.
There are six options configurable under this setting, Disable, 64bits-Hex,
128bits-Hex, 64bits-ASCII, 28bits-ASCII, and WPA-PSK-TKIP. To toggle
between the options, press the ENTER button when Encrypt is highlighted.
The up arrow and down arrow will toggle between the six options. Press
ENTER again to select.
Key Index: Select a number between 1 and 4. To toggle between the options,
press the ENTER button when Key Index is highlighted. The up arrow and
down arrow will toggle between the four options. Press ENTER again to select.
Key: To connect to an encrypted wireless device, the key you enter here must
match the key of the device exactly. Press the ENTER button on the remote
control with this field highlighted to enter a key. The on-screen keyboard will be
displayed and you can enter the key.
Wep Key Types and Examples:
64-bit Hex: Keys are exactly 10 characters in length.
Example: 12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption.
128-bit Hex: Keys are exactly 26 characters in length.
Example: 456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters
for 128-bit encryption.
64-bit ASCII: Keys are exactly 5 characters in length.
Example: DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption.
128-bit ASCII: Keys are exactly 13 characters in length.
Example: 2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit
encryption.

101
Troubleshooting (continued)
Some of my MP3 and WMA files don’t appear.
„
The DSM-320RD supports the most common music file formats.
However, there are almost an infinite variety of bit rates and sample
rates. If a file does not appear on the receiver, it most likely uses an
unsupported rate.
„
The files may be copy protected. To share your files, turn copy protection
off when you rip them (Note: WMA DRM files can be played by using
Windows Media Connect Server software, see page 29 for details).
„
„
The following MP3 sample rates are supported:
4, 8, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz.
For best results, rip your MP3 files at 128 kbps or higher, with a sample
rate of 44.1 kHz.
I am not able to play certain media files.
„
The DSM-320RD supports most industry standard file formats but even
supported file formats can be encoded in ways that are not supported.
Try exporting media with different encoding settings or using different
software applications to encode your files.

Wireless Installation Considerations
The D-Link® DSM-320RD can be integrated into a wireless network from virtually
anywhere within its operating range. However, the range can be limited by the
number of walls, thickness of walls, and location of the walls that the wireless
signal must pass through. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of
materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
„
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the DSM-320RD and
other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce
your DSM-320RD’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
„
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5
feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet
(1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters)
thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a
wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
„
Building materials can impede the wireless signal. A solid metal door or
aluminum studs may have a negative effect on the range. Try to position
wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal
passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.
„
„
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical
devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
You can also add a directional antenna to help with range and sensitivity
issues.

Networking
802.11b: A wireless networking standard that supports data encryption and up
to 11Mbps bandwidth.
802.11g: A wireless networking standard that supports data encryption and up
to 54Mbps bandwidth.
Ad-Hoc: This wireless networking mode means that two PC’s are
communicating in a Peer-to-Peer network, without a router or an access point.
Bandwidth: A measure of the rate at which data can be sent and received
through the network. This value is usually given in bits per second (bps) or
Megabits per second (Mbps).
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): A protocol that network
devices use to obtain an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS addresses
automatically.ADHCP server can be a router, ISP server, or PC running Internet
Connection Sharing software. If you are using a DHCP-capable device in your
network, you will not need to assign a static IP address to your DSM-320RD.
However, if you do not have a DHCP-capable device in your network, you will
need to assign a static IP address to your DSM-320RD.
DNS (Domain Name System): A system used to translate computer names
into IP addresses. For example, a DNS server would translate www.dlink.com
into 64.7.210.132
Ethernet: The most commonly used wired network technology. Standard
Ethernet supports up to 10Mbps. Fast Ethernet supports up to 100Mbps.
Gateway: This is the IP address of the device that connects you to another
network such as a router. A router would be the gateway between your local
area network and the Internet.
Infrastructure: This wireless networking mode is used by wireless networks
with a router or an access point.
111
Glossary (continued)
IPAddress (Internet ProtocolAddress): An IP address consists of four groups
of digits separated by periods. Each group of digits contain an 8-bit value as a
number ranging from 0 to 255. Each computer must have it’s own unique IP
address. The IP addresses on your network must be within the same range.
For example, if one PC or device has an IP address of 192.168.0.2, the other
devices should have IP addresses that are sequential, like 192.168.0.3 and
192.168.0.4.
ISP (Internet Service Provider): A commercial organization that provides
subscribers with access to the Internet.
Key: Encryption keys allow you to easily change wireless encryption settings
to maintain a secure network. The DSM-320RD supports 64-bit and 128-bit
keys.
Netmask: Commonly referred to as subnet mask, this is used to determine
what subnet an IP address belongs to.
RJ-45: RJ-45 is the standard connector for Ethernet cabling. It looks like a
phone cable connector, but is slightly larger. RJ-45 connectors have 8 pins, 4
of which are used for transmitting and receiving data.
SSID (Service Set Identifier): The name designated for a specific wireless
local area network (WLAN). The SSID can be easily changed to connect to an
existing wireless network.
Static IP: A static IP address is configured manually on the device that will be
using it. A static IP address remains the same constantly and must be a unique
address.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): A security protocol for wireless local area
networks (WLAN) that is designed to provide the same level of security as a
wired network. WEP provides security by encrypting the data sent over the
WLAN. The DSM-320RD supports 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.
Wired: Devices networked via Ethernet cabling.
Wireless: Devices networked using radio frequencies instead of physical
cabling.
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi ProtectedAccess with Pre-Shared Key):Asecurity protocol
for wireless local area networks that requires that the router and DSM-320RD
have the same pre-shared key in order to establish a wireless connection.

Music
AIFF is short for Audio Interchange File Format, an audio format that was
developed by Apple Computer and is the standard audio format for Macintosh
computers. AIFF use a .AIF or .IEF extension.
M3U is a playlist format and is the default playlist format of WinAMP and most
other media player software. It allows multiple files to be queued in a program
in a specific format.
MP3 is the file extension for MPEG-1, audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three
coding schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio
signals. Layer 3 removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal,
which the human ear does not hear. It uses Modified Discrete Cosine Transform
to implement a filter bank, increasing the frequency resolution 18 times higher
than that of layer 2.
OGG or OGG Vorbis is an open source audio compression format. The name
OGG is derived from term in a network game and Vorbis from a character in a
novel. OGG is used for mid to high quality (8kHz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic)
audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel.
PLS is a proprietary playlist format used for playing Shoutcast and other audio
streams.
WAV is the file extension for PC sound files and was developed by Microsoft
and IBM. WAV sound files end with a .wav extension and are compatible with
Windows applications supporting audio.
WMA is short for Windows MediaAudio and is an audio format that was created
by Microsoft. It is similar to MP3, although WMA can compress at a higher rate
than MP3.

Glossary (continued)
Photo
BMP: The standard bit-mapped graphics format used in the Windows
environment. By convention, graphics files in the BMP format end with a .BMP
extension.
GIF: Pronounced jiff or giff and stands for graphics interchange format, it is a
bit-mapped graphics file format. GIF supports color and various resolutions. It
uses data compression, but it is limited to a 256-color palette.
JPG: Short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, and pronounced jay-peg.
JPEG is a lossy compression technique for color images.Although it can reduce
files sizes to about 5% of their normal size, some detail is lost in the compression.
JP2: JP2 is the file extension for the new image format called JPEG2000 based
on the latest image compression technology.
PNG: Short for Portable Network Graphics, is a bit-mapped graphics format
similar to GIF. In fact, PNG was approved as a standard by the World Wide
Web consortium to replace GIF because GIF uses a patented data compression
scheme. In contrast, PNG is patent and license-free.
TIFF: Acronym for Tagged Image File Format, and is one of the most widely
supported file formats for storing bit-mapped images on personal computers.
TIFF graphics can be any resolution, and they can be black and white, gray-
scaled, or color. Files in TIFF format often end with a .tif extension.

Video
AVI: Short for Audio Video Interleave, the file format for Microsoft’s Video for
Windows standard. See under Video for Windows.
DivX: Is a video format that is MPEG-4 compliant and widely used on the
Internet for encoding video files.
MPEG: Short for Moving Picture Experts Group, and pronounced “empeg”.
MPEG generally produces better-quality video than competing formats. MPEG
achieves high compression rate by storing only the changes from one frame to
another, instead of each entire frame. MPEG uses a type of lossy compression,
since some data is removed. However, the reduction in the resulting video
quality is minimal. There are three major MPEG standards: MPEG-1, MPEG-2
and MPEG-4.
•
•
•
The most common implementations of the MPEG-1 standard provide a
video resolution of 352-by-240 at 30 frames per second (fps). MPEG-1
is used with Video CDs (VCD) and results in video quality slightly below
the quality of a VCR video.
MPEG-2 offers higher resolution with CD-quality audio. This is sufficient
for all major TV standards, including NTSC, and even HDTV. MPEG-2
is used by DVDs. MPEG-2 compresses a 2 hour video into a few
gigabytes of data on a single disc.
MPEG-4 is a video compression standard based on MPEG-1 and
MPEG-2. Videos encoded with MPEG-4 technology are considerably
smaller than videos encoded with MPEG-1 or 2. MPEG-4 was
standardized in October 1998.
QuickTime: An audio and video compression technology developed by Apple
Computer and is widely supported on Macintosh and Windows PC computers.
The latest QuickTime implementation is MPEG-4 compliant.
XviD: XviD is an ISO MPEG-4 compliant video codec. It’s an open source
project which is developed and maintained by many people from all over the
world.
