Re:source
The Program Director
As the name suggests, you won't
just have access to a wealth of
storage media. With Internet Radio,
you will also have access to the
whole world. The days are gone
when Program directors decided
what you could listen to and then
subjected you to intrusive
advertising and traffic reports as
well. Now, you are your own
Program director. You can select
your own music genre of choice
and listen to broadcasts at a time
that suits you.
The Language Trainer
Or how would it be if, just ahead of
your holiday, you could listen again
to the language of the country you
are going to visit? No problem with
Internet Radio. First select the
continent and then the country and
before you know it, Spanish, Creole
or French will be coming at you out
of the "ether".
The iPod Connection
Your MMM will get on very well
with your iPod. Just connect it to
the MMM and using your Revox
equipment, you can dive into the
audiophile world offered by this
clever little box of tricks.
The Memory Stick
When connected to the USB
socket, any memory stick and any
USB hard disc* can make its
contribution to the media diversity
of the MMM.
The Music Folder
The MMM brings order into you
favourite collection of CDs. Just
pack all the tracks that make up
your collection onto a network disc
in the highest quality and then
browse through them at your
leisure, looking for long-lost tracks
or rediscovering some old
favourites. No more looking for
CDs that have been put back into
the wrong box!
The Multiroom Factor
Many of your friends will also be
comfortable in the world of Internet
Radio and will appreciate a network
player. But the MMM isn't just at
your service in the main room but
in every other room that your
Multiroom system is connected to.
And that could be as many as 32!

INSTALLATION
The Multi Media Module is equipped
with the latest electronics and
should be handled with care.
Before you install the card, the M51/
M10 must be switched off and
separated from the power supply,
by plugging the unit out.
M51 Installation .
The MMM can be operated in slots
1 - 6. The only exception is Slot 7,
next to the speaker connections, as
this is reserved for the 5.1 Decoder
module.
For loading reasons, only one
MMM should be installed in an
!
M51.
M10 Installation .
The MMM can be operated in slots
1 - 8 or A 1 - 2. Slots A1 and A2
should only be fitted with second
generation modules, like the MMM,
that have the following symbol on
them:
Up to 4 MMMs can be installed in
parallel in an M10.

Re:source
Loosen the two screws with the
TORX screwdriver supplied and
remove the blanking plate.
Before removing the MMM module
from its packaging, you should
make sure that you are not
statically charged. This could cause
a damaging discharge of voltage
when you touch the module. You
should get rid of any static charge
by touching an earthed metal
object like a radiator, for example.
Remove the MMM from its
packaging and feed it into its plugin position. The two bars inside the
M51/ M10 are the mechanical
guides for you to use.
The lettering on the MMM plug-in
card must be on top. Shortly before
the plug-in card is fully locked into
position in its slot, you will feel a
mechanical resistance, caused by
the bus board contact strip. Push
the MMM fully in by applying
pressure in the area of the two
screw holes and fix the card in
place with both screws.
All further steps for registering the
new module are carried out
automatically the next time you
switch on.

Important advice
The following description for the
cabling and the setup makes the
assumption that there is a
functioning network with router
available and operational.
If you have any questions about
the setup and configuration of
your network or Internet access,
please refer to your System
administrator or an IT specialist
of your choosing.
WLAN Wireless communication
An access point is required for the
wireless communication between
the MMM and the router. This can
be an external unit or it can be
integrated in the WLAN router.
Internet Radio
Re:source
If you want to use the MMM to
receive Internet radio, there must
be a broadband Internet access to
the router. Setting up the Internet
access may involve further costs.
The management and use of the
Revox Internet Radio Portal is freeof-charge and already included in
the purchase price.

Glossary
NETWORK TERMINOLOGY
General
The network switch ensures the correct
connections between the individual
components. In order to make this
possible, each device within a network
must be capable of being uniquely
identified. Each component therefore, is
given its own address, the so-called IP
address. The IP address is made up
four blocks of numbers, each of which
can contain up to three digits. These
blocks of numbers are separated by a
full stop, e.g. 192.168.1.1.
Each of the individual blocks of digits
can have a value between 1 and 254.
The values 0 and 255 are in part
reserved for special functions and
therefore shouldn't be used. In order to
ensure a secure function of your
network, addresses from the predefined range should be used, i.e.:
fundamentally, the first two blocks
should be 192.168.xxx.xxx; the third
block can be selected from the values
in the range mentioned above (must be
the same for all the devices within a
network however) and the fourth block
should be used to differentiate each
device,
e.g.: MMM 192.168.001.001
NAS: 192.168.001.002
PC: 192.168.001.003
If you don't just want to use devices
within the local network but also music
sources from the Internet (Internet
radio), the MMM must have the
possibility of being able to access the
Internet. This can be achieved, for
example, through a router with a
connection to a DSL network. This
router is also a part of the network and
will be assigned its own IP address. In
order to enable this connection to
Re:source
the outside world actually to be
established, the MMM must additionally
be informed of the address of the router
(Gateway).
It must be ensured that the first three
blocks of the Device IP, the Gateway IP
and the DNS 1 are within the same
address range, e.g. 192.168.0.xxx. The
fourth block assigns a unique address
("house number") to the components in
the local network. This number may
only occur once within the local
network. The Device IP mask should
always be given the address
255.255.255.0.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is
one of the most important services in
the Internet. Its main task is that of
converting Internet address like
www.revox.de for example, into its
corresponding IP address. As a rule,
the router in home networks fulfils the
function of the DNS.
If you should decide for the manual
network configuration (without DHCP),
just enter the address of your router as
the DNS address during network
configuration.
LAN
Local Area Network
Local cabled network
A LAN connection to the MMM is the
most fault-tolerant and problem free
transmission technology, which offers
much more security against
eavesdropping than WLANs or Power
LANs.

Multi Media
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.
Re:source
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.

NETWORK TERMINOLOGY
Proxy Server
A proxy or proxy server is a computer
in the network that makes data transfer
quicker and more efficient and that can
also increase security by deploying
access control mechanisms. Usually,
you do not find proxy servers in home
networks. In such a case, you don't need
to define a proxy address during the
MMM network configuration.
The MMM allows the use of a proxy
server.
Router (WLAN Router)
A central network device that
establishes and manages the
communication between the network
devices.
Current devices increasing combine the
function of the router with the function
of an access point for wireless data
communication. These combi-devices
are often referred to as WLAN routers.
Normally, the (WLAN) router in a
network takes on the function of the
gateway to the outside world.
Server
A network device that makes data and
services available for other devices in
the network. A UPnP-AV server stores
for example, audio and video media
data and makes this data available to
other devices, the streaming clients.
Often, UPnP-AV servers also offer
functions for the cataloguing and easy
identification of medial content
according to criteria such as artist,
album name, genre, etc.
Re:source
SSID
Service Set Identifier / Network name.
SSID designates the identification of a
radio network that is based on IEEE
802.11. Each WLAN has a
configurable, so-called SSID or ESSID
(Extended Service Set IDentifier), to
identify the radio network.
It represents the name of the network.
The SSID character string can be up to
32 characters long. It is configured in
the base station (WLAN router / Access
point) of a wireless LAN and defined on
all the clients that should have access
to it.
UPnP-AV
Universal Plug and Play – Audio Video
Network standard that makes media
content, e.g. on PCs or NAS discs
accessible in networks.
A UPnP-AV software must be installed
on PCs /NAS storage so that the MMM
can access the stored media data.
Below, you will find a short overview of
UPnP software that is suitable for the
different operating systems:

WLAN (W-LAN, Wireless LAN)
Radio network. Network connection is
done using radio waves in the 2.4 GHz
frequency range. Radio networks are
easy to install as no cables have to be
laid but are often problematic and
unreliable, particularly over longer
transmission distances. In many cases,
Power Line networks that also don't
require any cabling are a better choice.
In each case, the installation of a
network cable is the most fault-tolerant
and problem free transmission
technology. An additional point is that
cabled networks don't produce any
electro smog.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA contains the architecture of WEP,
but offers additional protection through
dynamic keys that are based on the
following (Cipher) standards:
- Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
- Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
WPA offers Pre- Shared Keys (PSK)
for authentication or Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) through
IEEE 802.1x.
The MMM is based on the
authentication PSK and supports both
the WPA encryption TKIP and AES.
Re:source
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the
previously used standard encryption
algorithm for WLANs. It should control
access to the network as well as
ensuring the confidentiality and integrity
of the data. Because of various weak
spots, the process is considered to be
unsafe. For this reason, WLAN
installations should use the more
secure WPA encryption. See WPA.
With WPE authentication, a distinction
is drawn between two processes:
Open
Open System Authentication is the
standard authentication. The WEP key
is used at the same time for
authentication: Each client with the
correct WEP key gets access to the
network.
Shared
Shared Key Authentication is reputed to
be the more secure version. In this
case, authentication is done through
the Challenge-Response authentication,
with a secret key. However, the
Challenge-Response process is also
based on WEP and demonstrates the
same weaknesses.
The MMM offers both Open and Shared
WEP authentication.

Certificate for WLAN products that work
according to IEEE802.11 standards
and are compatible with other products.
