disconnect all system components from the mains supply
before connecting or disconnecting any interconnects.
The cable tie is used to retain the clamp close to the plug
connected to the Stream Xa .
With the clamp fitted, connect this end to the ethernet •
socket on the Stream Xa .
The plug will latch into place.
Connect the other end to the modem/router or wall •
socket.
ethernet wired connection is very robust and will run over
distances of 50m or more without requiring a repeater.

To ethernet
connection
Connecting to a computer network
there are two network connection options, ethernet cable
connection or 802.11b/g/n wireless. if the Stream Xa
detects an ethernet cabled connection, this will be used in
preference to a wireless connection.
Where possible, ethernet cable connection to the
Stream
Xa is strongly recommended as this enables a far higher
data bandwidth than wireless connection.
Wired ethernet connection
The Stream Xa is supplied with a 1m length ethernet cable. if
this cable is not suitable for your installation, pre-assembled
ethernet cables of the correct length are readily available.
Measure the distance that the cable will run between the
Stream Xa and a spare connection on the router/switch, or if
the building is pre-wired with ethernet cable, to the nearest
ethernet socket on the wall. obtain an ethernet cable of at
least this length.
Fit the ferrite clamp and tie wrap (supplied) to the cable •
as shown below.
