Setup/Installation; Network Requirements; Connecting The Gateway To The Network - Nuvo NV-P100 Manual

1. Setup/Installation

1.1 Network requirements

A live Internet connection is not necessary for basic functionality and accessing
music that is stored on a hard drive on the network, but keep in mind that a live
access to the Internet is necessary at initial setup. The Player System does use the
web to verify the user license associated with each Player being installed and will
automatically check for updates to the firmware and software.
A minimum 100Mbps wired network in necessary for proper communication. This
should not be a problem. T oday's network routers are designed to operate in the
Gigabyte range. If this is not the case, you should update the installation's network
equipment before you proceed with the Player Portfolio setup.

1.2 Connecting the Gateway to the Network

The NV-GW100 Wireless Gateway is the central communication point for the
Wireless Players and control. It requires a standard Ethernet CAT 5, CAT5e or CAT6
cable. It should be a standard EIA/TIA 568A or 568B network termination, as shown
in fig. 1. Note that this is a straight-through connection. You should never connect
the Gateway using a "crossover" style cable. A CAT5e cable is supplied with the NV-
GW100.

Make sure that the installation's router is connected to the network modem (this is
generally supplied by the Internet Service Provider, ISP) with a single CAT 5 network
cable, as shown in fig. 2.
