Setting up the Network

Network Link 

An extra router (Network Link router) is recommended for the Network Link as it needs it’s own subnet.
The WAN port on the Network Link router must be connected to a LAN port on the ISP router with a CAT7 cable. This is done to avoid that data 

traffic meant for the 1st subnet will interfere with data traffic on the 2nd subnet.

The Bang & Olufsen products can be connected to any of the LAN ports on the Network Link router. Each of the four ports on the Network Link 
router can be extended with a switch recommended by Bang & Olufsen.

Access the Network Link router

In order for the Network Link router to work when connected to the existing network, it must be configured with a different address range than 

the ISP router on the network.

-  Connect a PC to the Network Link router and enter the default IP-address 192.168.1.1 in the address field in the Web browser on the PC.

-  Enter User Name: 

admin

 and Password: 

admin

. (If a Network Link router is already installed the User name and Password might be changed).

Set up a Bang & Olufsen sub-network

-  Access the Network Link router
-  Go to 

Basic Setup

 screen, 

Network Setup

 and 

Router Address

.

-  Enter the IP address to 192.168.100.1 and save the settings

The Bang & Olufsen sub-network has now been setup. All devices connected to this sub-network must have the IP address 192.168.100.XXX.
The last three digits in the IP address are unique.
