Network Setup
The following diagram shows how you can connect the
tuner to your home network. In this example, it’s
connected to a LAN port on a router, which has a 4-port
100 Base-TX switch built-in.
■ Ethernet Network
For the best results, a 100 Base-TX switched Ethernet
network is recommended. Although it’s possible to play
music on a computer that’s connected to the network
wirelessly, playback may be unreliable, so it is
recommended to use wired connections.
■ Ethernet Router
A router manages the network, data-routing and
supplying of IP addresses. Your router must support the
following:
• NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows
several networked computers to access the Internet
simultaneously via a single Internet connection. The
tuner needs Internet access for Internet radio.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
DHCP supplies IP addresses to the network devices,
allowing them to configure themselves automatically.
• A router with a built-in 100 Base-TX switch is
recommended.
Some routers have a built-in modem, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your
ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
■ CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a shielded CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type) to
connect the tuner to your home network.
■ Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To receive Internet radio, your Ethernet network must
have Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection
(e.g., 56 K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory
results, so a broadband connection is strongly
recommended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc).
Please consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re
unsure.
Notes:
• To receive Internet radio with the tuner, your
broadband Internet connection must be working and
able to access the Web.
Consult your ISP if you have any problems with your
Internet connection.
• The tuner uses DHCP to configure its network settings
automatically. If you want to configure these settings
manually, see “Network Setup” ( page XX).
• The tuner does not support PPPoE settings, so if you
have a PPPoE-type Internet connection, you must use
a PPPoEcompatible router.
• Depending on your ISP, you may need to specify a
proxy server to use Internet radio. If your computer is
configured to use a proxy server, use the same settings
for the tuner ( page XX).
