Connecting a network cable or the wireless antenna
En
34
Connect the unit to a router (access point) with a network cable, or connect the
supplied wireless antenna for establishing a wireless network connection.
You can enjoy Internet radio or music files stored on media servers, such as PCs and
Network Attached Storage (NAS), on the unit.
Connecting the network cable
Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5
or higher straight cable).
• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to configure any network settings for the unit,
as the network parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned automatically to it. You only need to
configure the network settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to configure the network
parameters manually (p.116).
• You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP address) are properly assigned to the unit in
“Network” (p.124) in the “Information” menu.
• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall settings of network devices (such as a router)
may block the access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these cases, configure the
security software or firewall settings appropriately.
• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
• To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is strongly recommended.
Connecting the wireless antenna
Connect the supplied wireless antenna to the unit for establishing a wireless network
connection.
For information on how to connect the unit to a network device wirelessly, see
“Connecting to a network device wirelessly” (p.46).
a
Rotate the antenna clockwise.
b
Stand the antenna up straight.
• Do not connect the antenna other than the supplied one.
• Do not apply excessive force on the antenna. Doing so may damage it.
• When packing the unit, remove the antenna to prevent damage.
