NETWORK TERMINOLOGY

General

The network switch ensures the correct connections between the individual components. In order to make this possible, each device within a network must be capable of being uniquely identified. Each component therefore, is given its own address, the so-called IP address. The IP address is made up four blocks of numbers, each of which can contain up to three digits. These blocks of numbers are separated by a full stop, e.g. 192.168.1.1.

Each of the individual blocks of digits can have a value between 1 and 254. The values 0 and 255 are in part reserved for special functions and therefore shouldn't be used. In order to ensure a secure function of your network, addresses from the pre- defined range should be used, i.e.: fundamentally, the first two blocks should be 192.168.xxx.xxx; the third block can be selected from the values in the range mentioned above (must be the same for all the devices within a network however) and the fourth block should be used to differentiate each device,

e.g.: MMM 192.168.001.001 NAS: 192.168.001.002 PC: 192.168.001.003

If you don't just want to use devices within the local network but also music sources from the Internet (Internet radio), the MMM must have the possibility of being able to access the Internet. This can be achieved, for example, through a router with a connection to a DSL network. This router is also a part of the network and will be assigned its own IP address. In order to enable this connection to

the outside world actually to be established, the MMM must additionally be informed of the address of the router (Gateway).

It must be ensured that the first three blocks of the Device IP, the Gateway IP and the DNS 1 are within the same address range, e.g. 192.168.0.xxx. The fourth block assigns a unique address ("house number") to the components in the local network. This number may only occur once within the local network. The Device IP mask should always be given the address 255.255.255.0.

DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most important services in the Internet. Its main task is that of converting Internet address like www.revox.de for example, into its corresponding IP address. As a rule, the router in home networks fulfils the function of the DNS.

If you should decide for the manual network configuration (without DHCP), just enter the address of your router as the DNS address during network configuration.

LAN

Local Area Network Local cabled network

A LAN connection to the MMM is the most fault-tolerant and problem free transmission technology, which offers much more security against eavesdropping than WLANs or Power LANs.
