==Storage Memory Expansion==


The <b>Storage Memory Expansion</b> function provides the possibility to expand the device's flash memory with a USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) and use the extra memory to install additional software packages. This section provides instruction on how to do just that. However, there are a few prerequisites and warnings to take note of before using memory expansion.
===IP Filter===
 
----
To be eligible for memory expansion, the USB MSD must meet the following restrictions.
The <b>IP Filter</b> section is used for configuring which network is allowed to communicate with the device. You may add a new instance by selecting the Interface and pressing Add.
 
<ul>
    <li>The MSD must be the last one (chronologically) inserted.</li>
    <li>If you are using a USB hub, the target MSD must be the last one attached to the hub.</li>
    <li><b>No important data on the MSD as it will be wiped during expansion setup!</b></li>
</ul>
 
When expansion is enabled, <b>do not detach the USB device as this will delete the data stored on it</b>. Changes made to the device configuration while expansion was enabled will disappear after it is disabled.


===Enabling memory expansion===
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_console_ip_filter.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
----
To successfully expand the flash memory of your device follow the steps described below.


<ol>
Then enter the IP address and save.
    <li>Attach a USB Mass Storage Device (MSD) to the USB connector on the device and go to the Services → Storage Memory Expansion page.</li>
    <li>Set the 'Enable storage expansion' slider to 'on' and click 'Save & Apply'.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
    <li>You will see a pop-up asking for confirmation. Take note that <u>if you continue from this point on:</u>
        <ul>
            <li>your <b>USB device's memory will be wiped</b> and formatted to ext2 format;</li>
            <li>your device's <b>current configuration will be backed up</b> and restored to this point if the USB drive is removed or memory expansion is disabled;</li>
            <li>the entire procedure <b>may take a very long time</b> and includes a reboot at the end; exact time will vary depending on the size of the MSD (larger size will take longer; for example, using a 128 GB drive will take about 2 hours to fully set up, while a 16 GB will only take about 5 minutes).</li>
        </ul>Click 'Continue' to proceed.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
    </li>
    <li>If all is in order you should see a 'Formatting MSD...' message on the screen. This indicates that the MSD is being formatted and integrated with the system. This procedure can take a long time and ends with a reboot of the device.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_3.png]]</li>
    <li>Your device's flash memory will be expanded once the reboot has finished. In order to check, log in to the WebUI and look to the 'System' widget in the 'Overview' page. Hover your mouse cursor over the 'FLASH' memory indicator; you should see an increase to the device's flash memory.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_enable_4.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
</ol>


===Disabling memory expansion===
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_console_ip_filter_instance.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
----
To successfully disable memory expansion follow the steps described below.


<ol>
    <li>Go to the Services → Storage Memory Expansion page.</li>
    <li>Set the 'Enable storage expansion' slider to 'off' and click 'Save & Apply'.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>
    <li>You will see a pop-up asking for confirmation. Take note that <u>if you continue from this point on:</u>
        <ul>
            <li>your <b>USB device's memory will be wiped</b> and formatted to NTFS format;</li>
            <li>your <b>device's configuration will be restored</b> to the point it was before memory expansion;</li>
            <li>the entire procedure <b>will take up to 2 minutes</b> including a reboot.</li>
        </ul>Click 'Continue' to proceed.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
    </li>
    <li>If all is in order you should see a 'Formatting MSD...' message on the screen. This indicates that the MSD is being formatted and detached from the system. This procedure can take up to a couple of minutes and ends with a reboot of the device.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_3.png]]</li>
    <li>Your device's flash memory will be restored to normal once the reboot has finished. In order to check, log in to the WebUI and look to the 'System' widget in the 'Overview' page. Hover your mouse cursor over the 'FLASH' memory indicator; you should see your device's flash memory return to its regular size.<br>[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_storage_memory_expansion_disable_4.png|border|class=tlt-border]]</li>

==DLNA==
The <b>Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)</b> standard provides the possibility to stream media files from local storage to DLNA-capable devices such as computers, Smart TVs, tablets, etc.
This page is used to configure the DLNA service on the device. When the DLNA service is enabled, the device listens for incoming connections on the specified network interface and port number. Clients connecting to that port number on that interface will be granted access to the media files residing in the specified directories.
DLNA devices use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to discover and communicate with each other on a network. To access the DLNA server hosted on this device you will need a DLNA-capable application. If you're using your phone or other mobile device, simply search for DLNA in the device's application store. On Linux and Windows computers you can use applications capable of playing network media streams (such as VLC). Smart TVs and similar devices may have DLNA support built-in by default.
File format types supported by the DLNA service on this device:
<ul>
    <li>Audio - WMA, WAV, MP3, FLAC</li>
    <li>Image - JPEG</li>
    <li>Video - WMV, MTS, MP4, MKV, MOV</li>
</ul>
<u><b>
Note:</b> DLNA is additional software that can be installed from the <b>System → [[{{{name}}} Package Manager|Package Manager]]</b> page.</u>
