Connecting To A Network - Yamaha R-N500 Owner's Manual

Connecting to a network

You can enjoy Internet radio or music files stored on media servers, such as PCs and Network Attached Storage (NAS),
on the unit.
Connect the unit to your router with a commercially-available STP network cable (CAT-5 or higher straight cable).

• If you are using a router that supports DHCP, you do not need to
configure any network settings for the unit, as the network
parameters (such as the IP address) will be assigned
automatically to it. You only need to configure the network
settings if your router does not support DHCP or if you want to
configure the network parameters manually (p.33).
• You can check whether the network parameters (such as IP
address) are properly assigned to the unit in "Information"
(p.33) in the "SETUP" menu.
Note
• Some security software installed on your PC or the firewall
settings of network devices (such as a router) may block the
access of the unit to the network devices or the Internet. In these
cases, configure the security software or firewall settings
appropriately.
• Each server must be connected to the same subnet as the unit.
• To use the service via the Internet, broadband connection is
strongly recommended.
