Ethernet Settings

Ethernet is the preferred networking choice which provides you with

the best network performance and allows your MS300 to act as a

“server” to deliver your music collection throughout your home using

other network clients.

Ethernet networks require that you configure each device on

the network with a valid “address”. These addresses are usually

configured automatically by your network hardware. If your PC is

setup using Dynamic or “DHCP” addressing, you should most likely

use the same for your MS300.

Connect the MS300 to your Ethernet network using a standard
Ethernet cable and then follow these steps to specify your
Ethernet settings:
1. Press the SETUP key on the remote to display the Setup

menu.

2. Select the NETWORK Menu.
3. Select the ETHERNET SETTINGS Menu.
4. Select Dynamic for automatic address configuration or

Static if you want to manually enter your TCP/IP address
information.

If you select Static TCP/IP addressing, you will need to obtain a valid

IP address, subnet mask, DNS server, and gateway addresses from

your network administrator.
