The MusicCAST network

Wired network connections

■ When should I use a wired connection?

Wired networks use cables (called a LAN cable)

connected between components to transfer data to a

central network component (network hub), which

then transfers the data on to the appropriate

destination. This means that you need to physically

connect your MusicCAST clients and servers to a

hub with LAN cables in order to use wired network

connections.

While installing a MusicCAST system using wired

network connections is more time consuming and

requires more effort, wired networks can carry

more data over a greater distance than wireless

networks. The MusicCAST server supports

simultaneous playback on seven MusicCAST

clients over a wired network.

■ What is a hub, and why do I need one?

A network hub receives signals from multiple

components on a network and sends directs them to

the correct destination. This enables many

components to transmit and receive data on the

same network. We recommend that you use a

broadband router if you wish to connect your

MusicCAST components to the Internet.

Note

• You cannot use MusicCAST system components

for any activity on a network that extends beyond

the router.

Use wired connections when:

• You wish to use more than five MusicCAST

clients simultaneously

• You wish to place a MusicCAST client at a

significant distance from the server (see page 23

for details)

• You wish to place a MusicCAST client in an

environment where there is a possibility of

electronic interference with a wireless network

signal (for example, close to a cellular phone

charger)
