Network Setup

The Nº53 reference power amplifier supports network connection
through the Ethernet port. The Nº53 can connect to a network
through use of a router or directly to a computer.
The Nº53 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 Nº53 to the
network with a router:
• Nº53 reference monaural power amplifier
• Two twisted-pair network cables
• PC-compatible computer with 10/100BaseT network card
• 10/100BaseT router
The Nº53 does not support wireless connection. However, a 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 Nº53 to a
computer without the use of a router:
• Nº53 reference monaural power amplifier
• Network crossover cable
• PC-compatible computer with 10/100BaseT network card
