Network Configuration
General Information
The
MP 3000 HV
can be operated in wired LAN networks (
Ethernet LAN
or
Powerline LAN
) or in wireless networks (
WLAN
).
If you wish to use your
MP 3000 HV
in your home network, you must first enter
the necessary network settings on the
MP 3000 HV
. This includes entering the
network parameters such as the IP address etc. both for wired and wireless
operation. If you wish to use a wireless connection, a number of additional
settings for the WLAN network also have to be entered.
Please refer to the Chapter
'Glossary / Additional Information' and 'Network
Terms'
for additional explanations of terminology relating to network technology.
In the following sections we assume that a working home network
(cable
network of WLAN network)
with router and (DSL) Internet access is present.
If you are unclear about some aspect of installing, setting up and configuring
your network, please address your queries to your network administrator or a
network specialist.
High-resolution audio files via network
The
MP 3000 HV
can also play back high-resolution up to 192 kHz / 24-bit audio
formats in the FLAC and WAV formats. A WLAN connection is not generally
sufficient to handle the large quantities of data. If you wish to play back high-
resolution audio files via a network connection, please use a cable network
exclusively.
Compatible hardware
and UPnP servers
The marketplace offers a vast number of routers, NAS devices and USB hard
discs made by a very wide range of manufacturers.
equipment is generally
compatible with other makes of machine which bear the UPnP label. A list of
devices which
has checked for compatibility can be found on the Internet

Network Configuration
Menu
All network settings are entered in the Network Configuration menu. This menu
will vary slightly in appearance depending on the type of your network, i.e.
whether you have a wired (LAN) or wireless (WLAN) network.
If in the Network Configuration Menu the entry 'Network IF Mode' is set to 'auto',
the
MP 3000 HV
will check automatically if a LAN connection to a network is
present. If a LAN connection is found, the machine will assume that this is to be
used, and displays the network configuration menu for LAN networks.
If no LAN network is connected, the
MP 3000 HV
activates its WLAN module
and displays the WLAN configuration menu when you call up the configuration
menu. The menu for a WLAN network includes a number of additional menu
points. The following sections explain how to use the menu, and the meaning of
the individual menu points.
The Network IF Mode 'auto' is the default factory setting.In case of problems in
combination with your hardware this automatic function can be switched to a
fixed operation mode, e.g. only LAN.
