FireBall to PC Networking Basics
Overview
With the new Network File Sharing feature built into FireBall, you can now access your FireBall
from your PC using your home network. Having access to your FireBall allows you to do things
like backup your music files, import music files from your PC to your FireBall, remotely control
your FireBall from your PC, and share your FireBall based music with iTunes (including Apple
iPod support) and other PC music players such as Windows Media Player, MusicMatch,
WinAmp, and Rio Media Manager. This document will explain how to do all of these things
using your PC and your FireBall over your home network.
Requirements
In order to connect to your FireBall, you will need to have your FireBall and PC on the same
network. This document assumes that you already have a home network correctly setup and
configured. If you need help setting up your network, please review the “Home Network
Primer” available on the Escient web site, or contact your Escient dealer.
The following items are required for connecting your PC to your FireBall:
x Properly configured Ethernet home network
x Fireball E2 Music Manager or DVDM Media Manager with and internal hard drive and
File Sharing Support
x PC computer with 64MB of RAM and Windows XP Installed
