tion and you simply need to select update.
b) Use your existing Internet account
IMPORTANT NOTE: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that require your computer
be loaded with proprietary software in order for you to log on to the Internet
(i.e AOL, CompuServe, Earthlink, etc.) are not compatible with hard-drive music
servers such as the VIA!dj because there is no way to load that software into the
unit.
There are many ISPs available in your local area or nationally that do not require
proprietary software to log on to the Internet (i.e. MSN and WorldCom). An Internet
account must be established with one of these types of ISPs in order for the VIA!dj
to access the internet using it's built-in dial-up modem.

the homeowner's existing Internet account: screen name, password and access
telephone number

CONFIGURING THE VIA!dj FOR AN ETHERNET CONNECTION
Recommended Network Configuration
When connecting the VIA!dj to a broadband connection (Cable Modem or DSL), it is highly
recommended that an Ethernet router or gateway is used in the home network. In addition to the
security benefits of the firewall protection that the router provides, the router allows multiple
devices in the home to share a single IP address from the ISP. When choosing a router for the
installation, it is easiest and preferred to use hardware that contains DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server software for dynamic IP addressing of the home's network devices.
Configuring the VIA!dj's Ethernet Settings
In order to properly configure the VIA!dj to work with a broadband connection, the following
settings have to be entered either automatically (DHCP enabled router) or manually.
•
IP Address
•
IP Mask
•
Gateway
•
IP DNS
