Gateway
The computer or router in your network
through which the data traffic with the
world outside your network, i.e. the
Internet is handled.
Client
Network device that draws data out of
the network, decodes it and converts it
for example, into analogue music
signals, which then can be played
through amplifiers and speakers.
Streaming clients also contain functions
for displaying media content and for
navigating in the Internet or on servers.
DHCP
DHCP is an abbreviation for Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is
primarily used to enable clients to fetch
their network configuration automatically
from a server or router.
The MMM supports DHCP.
IP Address
Network address. Each device in the
network needs an IP address through
which it can be reached and uniquely
identified. Network addresses may not
occur twice. This is important if network
addresses are assigned manually. If
addresses are issued in your network
through DHCP, you don't need to worry
about the IP address assignment as
the DHCL server automatically handles
the question of address management.
MAC Address
The MAC address (Media Access
Control) is the unique hardware
address that is used for the
unambiguous identification of the
device in the network.
With the MMM, the MAC address can
either be read out in Setup on Page #1
or alternatively, if it has not yet been
installed, from the MAC sticker on the
back of the module.
NAS
Network Attached Storage. As a rule,
this is a storage device with a very
large capacity > 500 GB, which other
devices can access. If the NAS server
contains an UPnP-AV server service,
the MMM can access and play media
files that are stored on the NAS.
Power Line – LAN
With the Power Line LAN, data is
transmitted through the existing power
cable network. So-called Power Line
Modems are required on the transmitter
and receiver side. As a rule, Power
Line LANs offer reasonably fault-free
data transmission with a data rate
sufficient for audio streaming. We
recommend Power Line Modems with
bit rates of 85 or 200 MBit/s.
