11.3 Connecting to external

wired network

The external wired network can be a single PC, a PC

network, another Center or Station

Both the Center and Station can access the wired and

wireless network at the same time. Using the supplied

Ethernet cable, you can connect the Center or a Station

separately to a wired network while maintaining its Wi-

Fi connection (e.g. the Wi-Fi connection between the

Center and Stations or the Wi-Fi connection with an

external network). In this way, you can play the wired

network’s music library only on the Center or on a

single Station(UPnP playback).At the same time, you can

still enjoy all the music playback features on the Wi-Fi

network.

Helpful hint:

–For some wired routers, a "Cross Link" Ethernet cable

should be used instead of the normal "Straight"

Orange cable provided in the box.11.3.1
