P3100 Zone Player Back Panel Features
1. Ethernet: The P3100 is designed to connect directly to the network LAN. The second port enables multiple P3100s to share the same network connection within one
system.
2. Speaker: This modular connection provides a maximum 40 watt stereo amplified signal to the connected speakers. Each zone represents an independent output.
3. Line In: This 3.5mm stereo input will accept any analog line level audio signal. The local audio source is amplified by the local Player, as well as providing it as an addi-
tional source selection in any other associated audio zones within the NuVo Wireless Audio System. Each zone represents an independent input.
4. Line In Trigger: This optional input is a 5 volt trigger. Each zone has an independent trigger used to turn the zone on with voltage from an external source.
5. Line Out: This 3.5mm stereo output provides the local line level audio signal to an additional amplifier, powered subwoofer, or headphones. Each zone represents an
independent output.
6. Line Out Trigger: This 3.5mm output acts as a voltage (3-30V, 5mA) trigger for external equipment. Each zone has an independent output.
7. USB: Any USB enabled hard drive can share music content with the NuVo Wireless Audio System through this port. Each zone represents an independent input.
8. Setup: This button is used for each of the zone sections in the setup process to associate the zone control with the network.
9. AC: The switchable universal power supply will accept any incoming AC voltage worldwide.

1. Setup/Installation

1.1 Network Requirements

A live Internet connection is necessary for complete setup, operation, and music enjoyment of your NuVo Wireless Audio System. Once the system is set up and running, Inter-
net is not necessary for listening to music streaming from a network source. A minimum 100mb wired network is necessary for proper communication. This should not be a
problem. Today'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 setup. The NuVo Wireless Audio System uses the most advanced dual band 802.11N wireless communication available for the most robust
operation. To insure that all components are compatible and communicating correctly, it is strongly suggested network routers using the older 802.11G
protocol are upgraded.

1.2 Connecting the Gateway to the Network

The GW100 Gateway is the wireless communication point for the NuVo Wireless Audio System's players. It requires a standard Ethernet CAT5 or 6 (four twisted pair) wire con-
nection to the home's network. It should be a standard EIA/TIA 568A or 568B network termination if you choose to terminate the cable to a specific length, as shown in fig. 1,
or simply use a pre-terminated "network" cable (a cable is included in the package for this purpose), as shown in fig. 2. Note this is a straight-through connection. You should
never connect the Gateway using a "crossover" style cable.
