11.3 Connecting to external
wired network
The external wired network can be a single PC,a PC
network,another Center or 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 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
