1. DMA-1000/1000W Introduction

In future, you will probably want to use all kinds of digital contents for your

entertainment. E.g. surf internet, transmit data, watch movies, browse photos, and listen to

music. Perhaps you will want to do this not only at your desk or in the study room, but also

from everywhere in your house. Nowadays, you capture digital images on your digital

camera, you capture digital videos on your digital camcorder, and you rip music from CDs

into digital audio files and therefore, your PC is full of digital entertainment. You are

disappointed that you can only enjoy these files on your PC, instead of on that large, digital,

flat-screen TV you just bought. The ZyXEL digital media adapter DMA-1000/1000W is

designed to receive the content from the PC through wired Ethernet networking technology

to exchange digital media and control information then display the content to TV with

simple audio and video cables.

From the comfort of your own living room, the DMA-1000/1000W allows you to

stream all video content to your big flat panel Plasma or LCD TV from your PC with

appropriate software. You can also view your digital photo collection on your TV straight

from your PC or playback all the digital music from your computer on your stereo system.

Here we will show you two kinds of connection methods on how to deploy ZyXEL

DMA-1000/1000W on your home:

yBasic Application: Directly connect to a media server

yAdvanced Application: Connect to a Ethernet Hub/Switch

See following for detail description on these two scenarios.

DAM-1000 Support Notes

2. Basic Application: Directly Connect to a

Media Server

2.1 The Application Diagram

In this basic application scenario, you have all the devices including TV set,

ZyXEL DMA-1000/1000W, and PC/Laptop or NAS (with embedded media server) in the

same room. This is the simplest environment when deploy ZyXEL DMA-1000/1000W.

2.2 Hardware Connection

You need to use cross-over Ethernet cable to directly connect your PC/Laptop (or

ZyXEL network storage appliance NSA-220) and ZyXEL DMA-1000/1000W. For

connecting to you TV set, you can use either HDMI cable or S-Video cable for the video

DAM-1000 Support Notes

signal transmission. If you use HDMI cable, then the audio output would be also transmitted

over the HDMI cable. If you use S-Video cable for video transmission, then you need to

choose either a coaxial S/PDIF cable or AV cable for transmission of the audio signal to the

TV set.

For detail connection procedures, please refer to DMA-1000/1000W Quick Start

Guide or User Guide.

2.3 Software Installation

The ZyXEL DMA-1000/1000W gets the data (music, photos and videos) from the

media servers. In this directly connection scenario, a PC/Laptop or NAS (Network Attached

Storage) need to act as a media server.

If you use ZyXEL NSA-220, then you won’t need to install any extra software. If

you want to use your PC/Laptop, install the bundled DiXiM Media Server software. For

detail step-by-step procedures on installing DiXiM Media Server, please refer to

DMA-1000/1000W Quick Start Guide.

DAM-1000 Support Notes

3. Advanced Application: Connect to a

Ethernet Hub/Switch

3.1 The Application Diagram

In this advanced application scenario, your TV set had already sat down in living

room (1st Floor) and there is no Ethernet outlet placed in living room. Meanwhile, your

computer and network devices are all settled down in the study room (2nd Floor). This is a

typical layout on most people’s home. We will describe how to deploy ZyXEL

DMA-1000/1000W in such environment.

DAM-1000 Support Notes

3.2 Hardware Connection

In this application scenario, we use the following hardware devices:

zZyXEL Digital Media Adapter DMA-1000/1000W

zZyXEL Power Line Adapter PLA-400 *2

zZyXEL Network StorageAppliance NSA-220

zZyXEL DSL CPE P-662H

zPC/Laptop

zTV set

In the 1st floor, the living room, you need to use straight-through Ethernet cable to

connect the ZyXEL PLA-400 and ZyXEL DMA-1000/1000W. Regarding the connection

between DMA-1000/1000W and TV set, refer to the scenario described above or see the

DMA-1000 Quick Start Guide.

In the 2nd floor, the study room, connect PLA-400 to the LAN port of your DSL

MODEM ZyXEL P-662H. PC/Laptop and ZyXEL NSA-220 are also connected to the LAN

port of P-662H.

You can extend the LAN area from study room on 2nd floor to the living room on 1st

floor through using two PLA-400s. The data stored on PC/Laptop or NSA-220 will be

streamed to DMA-1000/1000W and then to the TV set through the existing power line

network.

DAM-1000 Support Notes

3.3 Software Installation

The PC/Laptop or NSA-220 acts as a media server in this scenario too. The

DMA-1000/1000W gets the data (music, photos and videos) from those media servers.

Like in the previous scenario, when using ZyXEL NSA-220 you don’t need to install

any extra software because NSA-220 has Media Server built-in. However, you may need to

install the bundled DiXiM Media Server software on you PC/Laptop. For the detailed

step-by-step procedures on installing DiXiM Media Server, please refer to

DMA-1000/1000W Quick Start Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

A. DiXiM Media Server FAQs

A01. DiXiM Media Server & Firewall related issue

When you installing DiXiM Media Server on your PC/Laptop, if you see a window

asking about configuring the Windows firewall, just click YES. This allows the

DMA-1000/1000W to access the media files that you publish on this media server.

The DiXiM Media Server will add an entry to the Windows Firewall Exceptions list.

The entry will look like the one encircled on the following figure.

DAM-1000 Support Notes

If your computer has any other software firewalls, please refer to the following table

to manually configure them to allow the DMA-1000/1000W to access this PC/Laptop.
