Setting up the MusicCAST client

The MusicCAST network

Wireless network connections

■ When and why should I use a wireless

connection?

The wireless network technology in the

MusicCAST system utilizes high frequency radio

signals to transmit data between the various

MusicCAST clients and the MusicCAST server.

You can place clients anywhere you wish without

physically connecting them to the MusicCAST

server, so long as they are within transmitting range

(approximately 30 meters if there are no

obstructions between the MusicCAST server and

client).

This means that you do not need to go to the effort

of laying and connecting cables and can change the

location of your MusicCAST clients at will.

Wireless connections are thus very convenient

when there is enough signal strength for the client

to transmit and receive data from the server

reliably. However, since wireless network

connections do not carry as much data as wired

networks, the MusicCAST server can only

distribute to five MusicCAST clients

simultaneously using the wireless network.

Note

• When using close to the maximum number of

MusicCAST clients, the surrounding environment

strongly affects the ability of the MusicCAST

components to make wireless connections. To

ensure stable playback in this situation, reduce the

bitrate at which the MusicCAST server stores

MP3 files before storing CDs (See page 121 in the

MCX-1000 owner’s manual).

Use wireless connections when:

• You do not want to install network cables

• You do not wish to use more than five

MusicCAST clients

• Your MusicCAST clients are located close to the

server

Note

• Walls, microwave ovens, and devices such as

cellular telephones that transmit radio signals may

interfere with or block the wireless network

signals from your MusicCAST system. In these

conditions, it is advisable to either relocate your

MusicCAST client, or use a wired network

connection to connect to the MusicCAST server.
