Connecting a LAN cable (for wired LAN connections only)

We recommend that you connect the server to the router with a wired connection. Connect the unit to the network using a LAN cable (*) (not supplied).

* We recommend using category 7 cables.

Hint

  • Use a router compatible with transmission speeds of 100 Mbps or greater.
  • We recommend that you use a router equipped with a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server because the default setting on the unit is DHCP.
    This function automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on the LAN.
  • We recommend using a normal shielded type cable for a wired LAN to avoid electric noise.
    Some flat-type LAN cables are easily affected by noise. We recommend using a Category 7 cable.
