nnSystem requirements

Internet connection via broadband.

Modem

A device that connects to the broadband and conducts communications on the Internet. Some modems also incorporate a router.

Router

When using the unit, we recommend a router with the following features.

Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server. This function automatically assigns an IP address on the LAN.

Built-in 100BASE-TX switch (built-in switching hub compatible with speeds upwards of 100 Mbps)

Computer (recommended system)

OS

Windows® XP Service Pack2 or more or Windows Vista

Software

Server software supporting Windows Media Player ver.11 or DLNA.

Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

An ethernet cable is not included with the unit.

Use only shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at retailer.

We recommend a shielded straight cable (normal type) for Ethernet connections.

If you use the flat type or a non-shielded cable, the noise may adversely affect other devices.
