A type that is integrated with a router is also available.
Router
• When using this unit, we recommend you use a router equipped
with the following functions:
• Built-in DHCP server
• This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.
• Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
• When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching
hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.
Ethernet cable
(CAT-5 or greater recommended)
• Use for wired LAN.
• Use only shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at
retailer.
• Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
• We recommend using a normal type cable.
• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network
settings are made manually, make the settings at “Network”
(vpage 35).
• With this unit, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions
to make the network settings automatically.
• When using this unit with the broadband router’s DHCP function
enabled, this unit automatically performs the IP address setting and
other settings.
When using this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function,
make the settings for the IP address, etc., at “Network” (vpage 35).
• When setting manually, check the setting contents with the network
administrator.
NOTE
• A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet.
• No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband
connection to the Internet.
• The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an
ISP or a computer shop for details.
• Marantz assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any
communication errors or troubles resulting from customer’s network
environment or connected devices.
• This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router
is required if you have a contract for a type of line set by PPPoE.
• Do not connect an ETHERNET connector directly to the LAN port/
Ethernet connector on your computer.
