Next, Connect the MP101

Note: The MP101 will not work unless the music server you just installed or an Internet service such as RHAPSODY sends it music.

1. Connect the provided RCA cable from the MP101 Wireless Digital Music Player to your audio system.

2. Connect the MP101 to your network.

Note: The MP101 is set from the factory to automatically receive its network settings via DHCP. If DHCP is not running on your network, you will have to set up the IP address of the MP101 in the range of addresses on your network.

• For Ethernet networks, connect via the Ethernet port.

• For wireless networks, use the remote to browse the Network Setup menu to the

Wireless selection. Choose your wireless network and, if you are using WEP, configure those settings.

Note: If the MP101 finds only one wireless network, it automatically selects that one. Also, if the MP101 does not connect to a wireless network, you may have to power cycle it before trying again. Refer to the troubleshooting tips in this document or the Reference Manual on the Wireless Digital Music Player Resource CD to resolve connectivity problems.

Play Music from Your PC or the Internet
