Using your Audio Network Server with
Net-Tune Network Clients
Net-Tune features
The NAS-2.3 and NAS-2.6 allow you to connect a Network Audio
Client such as the NAC-2.3 via an Ethernet connection to enjoy
digitally recorded music throughout the home.
Each NAC-2.3 can individually access the Audio Network Server to
browse your music collection by album name, artist, genre or custom
playlist and listen to both compressed and uncompressed music over
the network.
Up to six NAC-2.3 devices can be attached to the Audio Network
Server - each simultaneously listening to a different music selection.
Music is streamed over the network by Net-Tune - a protocol
developed by Onkyo for high speed access to music around the home.
What is Audio Network Server with Net-Tune System
Protocol?
The Audio Network Server streams digitally recorded music files
over a LAN so that they can be played by the NAC-2.3. One server
can stream to multiple NAC-2.3 units. The music streaming service
is build on Onkyo’s proprietary NTSP protocol, which is an extension
to TCP/IP, thereby providing high response times.
Connecting a Network Client to the Audio Network
Server
In order to take full advantage of a Network Audio Client such as the
NAC-2.3 with an Audio Network Server you will need the following
items:
•
Modem
(a device that provides Internet connections via leased
lines; e.g., a cable modem, xDSL modem, terminal adapter)
* To have access to the Internet, you typically need to make a contract
with an Internet service provider (ISP). Modem requirements differ
from ISP to ISP; for detailed information, consult with your ISP or
PC retailer.
•
Router (gateway)
(a device that enables multiple PCs or devices
to connect to the Internet simultaneously)
An IP address can be obtained automatically by using the router’s
DHCP function.
* Some routers have built-in modem functionality. Router
requirements differ from ISP to ISP; for detailed information,
consult your ISP or PC retailer.
•
Ethernet CAT-5 cable
•
Minimum Internet Connection Requirements:
-
Broadband Internet Connection
-
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) based network
(requires a DHCP-enabled router)
-
100Base-TX switch built-in broadband router (recommended)
