Configuring Your ReadyNAS 1-21
v1.0, October 2007
• Home Media Streaming Server provides streaming of videos, music, and pictures to popular
networked DVD players. The streaming players often utilize the streaming client developed by
Syabas. Similar to UPnP AV, this service is used to stream videos, music, and pictures from the
reserved media share to these adapters. If you wish to change the location where the media
files are stored, you can specify a different share and folder path. Note that this path is shared
between the UPnP AV and this service.
Discovery Services
• Bonjour service provides a simple way of discovering various services on the ReadyNAS.
Bonjour currently provides an easy way to connect to FrontView, IPP printing, and AFP
services. OS X has built-in Bonjour support, and you can download Bonjour for Windows
from Apple’s website.
• UPnP provides a means for UPnP-enabled clients to discover the ReadyNAS on your LAN.
Understanding Volume Management
The ReadyNAS family consists of two RAID volume technologies: Flex-RAID, utilizing the
industry-standard RAID levels 0, 1, and 5; and X-RAID, NETGEAR-patented expandable RAID
technology. Your system defaults to one or the other; however, you can switch between the two
modes through a factory default reset process described in “Resetting Your System (System
Switch)” on page 3-6.”
