DigiLinX Streaming Music Manager

The Streaming Music Manager (SMM100) is a hardware device designed to mine a
computer network for MP3 and WAV music files and playlists (M3U). It builds a
database and makes them available to the DigiLinX network. DigiLinX can then
browse the database, locate files, and display metadata from those files.

Installation of the SMM100 requires four steps:

1.

Use the DigiLinX Dealer Setup program to configure the DigiLinX system to
recognize the SMM100.

2.

Configure the PC.

3.

Set security (if applicable).

4.

Add cover art.

CAUTION!

To power down the SMM100, press the button on the front of the unit. Do
not
unplug the power cord.

Following installation is a discussion of examples of software for ripping music.

You can have a DigiLinX only network or you can combine your home computer
network with DigiLinX so that the SMM100 can access the music source (computer,
USB storage device, or NAS drive).

NOTE:

The IP address of DigiLinX network and the home network must match for the
SMM100 to find network shared music on the home network. Also, the
gateway, DNS, and subnet mask must match. The PC must be part of the
NetStreams workgroup in order to share the music. The PC cannot be a domain
computer.

If you want to connect DigiLinX to your existing home network, see Figure 15-1.
