MS250

Connecting to a network and the Internet

Once you’ve connected the MS250 to your existing audio equipment and checked that it works, you can

connect it to the Internet. This will enable you to make full use of the MS250’s capabilities, such as:

Playing Internet radio stations

Automatically downloading CD details (track information etc.) from a music database on the

Internet when you insert a CD

Playing music from existing music libraries on computers on your network

Local Area network congurations

To get the most out of your MS250, it needs to be installed as part of a local area

network (LAN) including one or more computers, and have access to a broadband

Internet connection.

Note that some Internet service providers offer broadband packages that restrict

access to the internet to a single device on a network. You may need to upgrade

your package to allow additional devices (such as the MS250) to access the Internet.

Contact your Internet service provider if in doubt.

If you have a computer with broadband Internet access but no local area network (e.g.

a PC and a USB broadband modem) it may be possible to connect the MS250 to your

PC directly, although it is a little more tricky. It also requires that your computer is running any time the

MS250 needs to access the Internet.

Finally, if you currently don’t have broadband Internet access, then it is quite straightforward to set this

up – see below for details.

Connecting the MS250 to an existing Ethernet network with Internet

access

If you already have an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) which provides multiple

networked devices with Internet access via an ADSL or cable modem, connection is

very straightforward. To connect your MS250 to your LAN:

1. Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable from a spare LAN port on the

Ethernet Router (or attached Ethernet Switch) to the Ethernet port on the rear

panel of the MS250.

2. Switch on the MS250.

In most cases, no further adjustments to the MS250 or the network is required. Follow

the procedure described in ‘Testing your connection’ below to verify if this is the case.

Connecting the MS250 to a computer with a USB modem

If you have a broadband Internet connection using an ADSL or cable modem connected

to a USB port on your computer, it is possible to connect the MS250 to the computer and allow it to

‘share’ the Internet connection. However, this does mean that your computer must be running any time

the MS250 needs to access the Internet (for example when it needs to access the music database or

when you wish to listen to an Internet radio station). For this reason, you may nd it more convenient

to simply buy an ADSL or cable router to replace your USB modem, and proceed as

above. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to conrm if this is possible, and

refer to the instructions provided by your ISP to congure your new router before

proceeding, but this is usually a straightforward process.

NOTE

Broadband Internet access is

typically provided using an ADSL or

Cable modem. Typical modems built

into computers (often referred to as

‘dial-up’ or ‘56k’ modems) are not

fast enough for use with the MS250.

NOTE

If you have an existing wireless

network, you can connect a wireless

Ethernet Bridge (e.g. Netgear – see

www.netgear.com; or D-Link products

– see www.dlink.com) to the MS250

instead of the Ethernet cable. An

alternative is to use the home

mains wiring to establish a ‘wireless’

network (e.g. Powerline products –

see www.powerlinecommunications.

net).

NOTE

Practically all recent computers come

with a built-in Ethernet connection. If

yours doesn’t, however, you’ll need

to buy an Ethernet Network Interface

Card (NIC) and install it.
