13 General DLNA playback
Using Poly as a DLNA renderer, where it is simply
used to playback stored music from a computer or
NAS drive on a server, is most suitable for at home
listening, although it can also be used on-the-go
typically with sample rate limitations.
Micro SD card playback via DLNA has been covered in
section 09. Please refer to this section to discover more.

Experiencing difficulty?
Hotspot mode is a back-up feature if your Smartphone’s
network provider does not allow tethering (the creation
of a personal hotspot) on your device. Hotspot mode
allows Poly to create its own permanent unsecured Wi-Fi
network to which your Smartphone/device can connect
to, to initiate and control music playback.
As you will not have access to 3G/4G data services or
the internet, Hotspot mode is not recommended if you are
already able to create a personal hotpot on your device or
can connect to an existing Wi-Fi network.
