NAC-N 172 XS Installation and Connection
2.8.3 Network Settings
The NAC-N 172 XS is set up when originally shipped not to
require any on-site TCP/IP configuration but to connect
to a network automatically (it uses DHCP by default).
However, if your NAC-N 172 XS has been previously used,
its network configuration may have been altered leaving it
unable to connect automatically. If this appears to be the
case ensure that DHCP is selected in the Network Settings
menu (see Section 4.6 of this manual) and re-start the
NAC-N 172 XS. If problems still persist contact your retailer,
installer or Naim Audio directly.
Note: Before reporting network connection problems carry
out a Factory Reset operation. Select Reset All Settings
from the Factory Settings setup menu. See Section 4.11.
Note: A NAC-N 172 XS switched on without a working
wired network connection will only be able to connect
to a home network wirelessly. To use an Ethernet (wired)
connection, switch the NAC-N 172 XS off, connect the
network and switch it on again.
Note: For internet radio to operate, the NAC-N 172 XS
requires connection to a broadband internet service.
2.9 System Automation
The NAC-N 172 XS can be linked using System Automation
to control some Naim CD players. This enables a Naim CD
player to be controlled from the
n-Stream iPhone and iPad
App.
To take advantage of System Automation, connect the
NAC-N 172 XS rear panel
Remote Out socket to the CD
player Remote In socket. Use a cable terminated with a
3.5mm jack plug at one end and a 3.5mm jack or phono
plug as necessary at the other end.
Note: Stereo and mono 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm jack can
be used for System Automation. If a stereo 3.5mm jack to
phono plug cable is used, connect the left channel phono
plug.
Note: System Automation is switched off by default. A full
description of its configuration and use can be found in
Section 4.10.
2.10 External Control and Interface
The NAC-N 172 XS is fitted on its rear panel with a 3.5mm
jack
Remote In socket and a mini-USB interface socket.
The Remote In socket can be used for RC5 remote control
of the NAC-N 172 XS via a wired connection or a remote IR
repeater.
The mini-USB socket enables firmware upgrades and
diagnostic tests to be carried out. Contact your Naim
retailer for more information if required.
Note: The mini-USB interface is not intended for the
connection of USB memory devices.
