Network Connections
Connection of the TGM-100 to a home network (and the
Internet) is required for full functionality. Ethernet connec-
tivity requires the use of a switch and/or router for com-
munications between the TGM-100 and any connected
iSCSI storages devices as well as the Internet. At least one
computer should be present on the network to permit the
import and export of music fi les to and from the TGM-100
as well as software updates, system settings and retrieval
of information about CDs and DVDs from Internet databas-
es. A typical system setup is shown in the diagram below.
