Network Setup

The Nº500H series power amplifier supports a network connection
through the Ethernet port. The Nº500H series can connect to a
network through use of a router or directly to a computer.
The Nº500H series can be:
1. Connected to a router with DHCP active – We highly
recommend using this option. Since the DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns the IP (Internet
Protocol) addresses, setup is much simpler.
2. Connected to a router with DHCP not active – This method
requires more advanced networking knowledge to set up
because it uses fixed static IP addressing.
3. Connected directly to a computer with no router – We
recommend only using this option when a router is not
available. This method requires more advanced networking
knowledge to set up because it uses fixed static IP addressing
and a special network crossover cable.
This section provides general instructions for all three methods.
The following materials are required to connect the Nº500H series
to the network with a router:
• Nº500H series power amplifier
• Two twisted-pair network cables
• PC-compatible computer with 10/100Base-T network card
• 10/100Base-T router
The Nº500H series does not support wireless connection. However, a
Note
cable attached from the amplifier to a wireless adapter can be used to
interface with a wireless network.
The following materials are required to connect the Nº500H series
to a computer without the use of a router:
• Nº500H series power amplifier
• Network crossover cable
• PC-compatible computer with 10/100Base-T network card
