Connect First ZonePlayer
1. Connect the Ethernet cable from an open port on your router to any of the four (4)
Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer (see A in the diagram
below).
• If your modem is currently plugged into the only network interface con-
nector on your computer, you should install a router before continuing. If
you don’t have a router, go to http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for instruc-
tions.
Or,
If you have structured (built-in) wiring that connects to a router located elsewhere
in your home, you can connect the Ethernet cable from a live wall plate into one of
the four Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer (see B in the
diagram below).
Note: The first ZonePlayer you install must connect to your home network using a
standard Ethernet cable (supplied). If your computer only has a wireless connection,
go to http://faq.sonos.com/wireless for assistance.
