HOME NETWORK SAMBA SERVER
The X3 has NAS (Network Attached Storage) functionality built in. And although it is limited in transfer
speed compared to standalone NAS servers it performs well if speed is not your major requirement. You
can also use the X3 as a Media Server and stream content to other Mede8er’s on your home network. The
Samba function is enabled or disabled in the ‘Network’ menu under ‘Samba Process’.
You can browse your X3 in Windows - Computer ---> My Network Places ---> View Workgroup Computers.
If the Hostname is not picked up by your PC then you can enter either the Host Name or the
IP Address into the Explorer address bar
\\192.168.0.3 - You type in the actual ip address of the X3
\\MED1000X3D - If you have changed the Host Name then type in the new Host Name
If you are using more than one Mede8er on your Network then you should change the Hostname in the
Setup Menu. Each X3 should have its own unique Hostname. You must reboot the X3 after changing the
Hostname.
SAMBA NAS SECURITY
By default the Samba NAS is a open Public
share and it does not require any Login.
You can enable Samba NAS Security and set
your own Password to limit access to the
content on the X3 Hard Drive.
Username: admin
Password: ‘your login password’
