Ethernet Settings
Ethernet is the preferred networking choice which provides you with
the best network performance and allows your MS300 to act as a
“server” to deliver your music collection throughout your home using
other network clients.
Ethernet networks require that you configure each device on
the network with a valid “address”. These addresses are usually
configured automatically by your network hardware. If your PC is
setup using Dynamic or “DHCP” addressing, you should most likely
use the same for your MS300.
Connect the MS300 to your Ethernet network using a standard
Ethernet cable and then follow these steps to specify your
Ethernet settings:
1. Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the Setup
menu.
2. Select the
NETWORK Menu.
3. Select the
ETHERNET SETTINGS Menu.
4. Select Dynamic for automatic address configuration or
Static if you want to manually enter your TCP/IP address
information.
If you select Static TCP/IP addressing, you will need to obtain a valid
IP address, subnet mask, DNS server, and gateway addresses from
your network administrator.
