9.3 Connecting to external wired
network
The external wired network can be a single PC, a
PC network, the Center or a 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 Center’s 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.
