over the network in DHCP mode (under Setup> Network >Wired). If your
network does not have DHCP server, switch to the Static IP mode (under Setup>
Network >Wired) and set up various parameters manually. If you have a

according to the instructions that come with the dongle, please enter Setup>
Network> Wireless mode to input the WEP or WPA keys.

File sharing Configuration
To activate this feature, please make sure:
The◆ZIN-5005HD is connected to the network;
The network is properly set up. For more information on this part, please refer◆
to “Step 2” in “Setting up ZIN-5005HD” section, and “Network” under “Setup
Menu”.
To allow the ZIN-5005HD to access folders on your computer, you need:
1) ZIN-5005HD already connected to the network
2) to designate the folders/files on your PC as shared resources.
Please refer to Microsoft’s official website:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/home net.mspx
to see the initial and detailed process of Home Network Setup in Windows XP.
Please refer to the following instructions to allow the ZIN-5005HD to access the
shared folders on the remote PC.
Step 1: Right click on the folder to be shared and select Sharing and Security.
Step 2: If this is the first time you intend to share a folder, Windows XP will prompt
a warning message, urging you to use the Network Setup Wizard for safety
purpose. Choose to either run the Wizard or do it yourself. XP will display
another warning. If you want the firewall enabled, select Use the wizard to
enable file sharing. Otherwise, select enable file sharing.
Caution: File sharing may lead to security problems since, by definition, it gives other users access to the
content of a part of the hard drive. As a result, it is essential that you share only folders for which it would not be
extremely important if their contents are revealed.

20
Step 3: You may now specify a “Share Name”, which will be used for users on the
network to access the shared folder. The icon of the shared folder will be
changed to showing a hand holding the folder.
If your operating system is Windows Vista, please refer to the following
instructions:
(1) Open the Control Panel and then open Network and Sharing Center.
(2) Click the down arrow to the right of File Sharing to expand it.
(3) Click Turn on file sharing and then click Apply.
