Home network settings
To share media files saved in Gallery with other compatible
UPnP devices through wireless LAN, you must first create
and configure your wireless LAN home internet access
point, then configure the Home netw. application. See
‘Wireless LAN’, p. 89 and the wireless LAN settings in
‘Access points’, p. 112.
To connect a compatible PC to the home network, on the
PC, you must install the related software from the
CD-ROM.
The options related to Home netw. are not available in
Gallery before the home network settings have been
configured.
When you access the home network application for the
first time, the setup wizard opens, and helps you to define
the home network settings for your device. To use the
setup wizard later, in the home network main view, select
Options > Run wizard, and follow the instructions on the
display.
