Follow these instructions to install your Verbatim
Internet connection.
First, check your package contents
Before starting installation, check your package for the following items:
• MediaShare Server
• Power cable
I. Connect the MediaShare to your network
1. Unpack the MediaShare server — be sure it has ample ventilation. Do not place items on top of the MediaShare, or place any liquids
near or on top of the unit.
2. Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to an available port on your router and the other end to the back of the MediaShare
unit. Your router must be configured to automatically provide an IP address for your network devices.
3. Plug in the power adapter to a power source and connect the other end to the MediaShare server.
4. Press the Power button on the back of your unit. The Green power indicator light will flicker while the unit boots and obtains an IP
address. When power up is complete the LED will turn solid Green. Wait for the solid Green LED before proceeding to next steps.
II. Run the Setup program on the Installation CD
Running the setup program will configure MediaShare. You will also give your MediaShare a unique server name, and create your
own user name and password.
To run the Setup program:
1. Insert the Installation CD into your computer. The "Welcome to
MediaShare Setup" setup screen displays. Wait for the Setup
program to initialize—approximately 2 minutes.
If the CD does not start automatically, go to My Computer and double-
click MediaShareSetup.exe to start the Setup program.
Note: An error message could display if a) the Power LED is not solid
green, b) the Ethernet cables are not securely connected, or c) if your
computer is behind a firewall.
2. Click Step 1, Setup to begin setting up the MediaShare.
3. When the software license agreement displays, click I Accept.
