A broadband line connection to the Internet is

 

 

 

 

 

 

required in order to use the ASD-51W’s Internet

 

 

 

radio function and firmware update.

n Router

 

• When using the ASD-51W, we recommend you use

 

 

 

 

 

a router equipped with the following functions:

Playback

Protocol) server

 

 

 

 

This function automatically assigns IP addresses

Information

 

 

·

Built-in 100BASE-TX switch

 

 

 

When connecting multiple devices, we

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

recommend a switching hub with a speed of 100

 

 

 

 

Mbps or greater.

 

 

• When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a

Troubleshooting

 

 

broadband router with built-in access point.

 

n

Ethernet cable

 

 

 

 

 

(CAT-5 or greater recommended)

 

 

 

Use for wired LAN.

 

 

• The ASD-51W does not come with an Ethernet

 

 

 

cable.

Specifications

 

• For Ethernet cable, we recommend that you use

 

 

shielded normal type cable. If you use flat type or a

 

 

non-shielded cable, the noise may adversely affect

 

 

 

 

 

 

other devices.

For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop.

NOTE

A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet.

No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband connection to the Internet.

The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an ISP or a computer shop for details.

Depending on the server, video files may be displayed, but they cannot be played on the ASD- 51W.

nOthers

If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu “Setup” – “Network”

“Network Setup” (vpage 11).

With the ASD-51W, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions to make the network settings automatically.

When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the ASD-51W sets the IP address, etc., automatically.

When using the ASD-51W connected to a network with no DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI menu “Setup” – “Network”

“Network Setup” (vpage 11).

The ASD-51W is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with which the PPPoE is set.

Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the ASD-51W in the same way.
