Chapter 2: System Setup

Step 1: Connect a Sonos component to your home network

Connect the Ethernet cable from an open port on your broadband router to any of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of a ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge.

Note: You can connect a ZoneBridge, a ZonePlayer 80, or a ZonePlayer 100 to your router. If you are going to use speakers in this music zone, you can connect a ZonePlayer 100 to your router. If you want to connect to an external amplifier, or to your computer’s powered speakers, you can connect a ZonePlayer 80 to your router. If you do not wish to play music here, you can connect a ZoneBridge.

If your modem is currently plugged into the only network interface connector on your computer, you should install a standard router before continuing. If you don’t have a router, go to http://faq.sonos.com/norouter for instructions.

Or,

If you have structured (built-in) wiring that connects to a router located else- where in your home, you can connect the Ethernet cable from a live wall plate into one of the Ethernet switch connectors on the back of your ZonePlayer.
