The wireless network technology in the MusicCAST system utilizes high frequency radio signals to transmit data between the various MusicCAST clients and the MusicCAST server. You can place clients anywhere you wish without physically connecting them to the MusicCAST server, so long as they are within transmitting range (about 30 meters). This means that you do not need to go to the effort of laying and connecting cables and can change the location of your MusicCAST clients at will. Wireless connections are thus very convenient when there is enough signal strength for the client to transmit and receive data from the server reliably. However, since wireless network connections do not carry as much data as wired networks, the MusicCAST server can only distribute to five MusicCAST clients simultaneously using the wireless network. The MusicCAST network Use wireless connections when: • You do not want to install network cables • You do not wish to use more than five MusicCAST clients • Your MusicCAST clients are located close to the server (see page 25 for details) Note • Thick walls, televisions, and devices such as cellular telephones that transmit radio signals may interfere with or block the wireless network signals from your MusicCAST system. In these conditions, it is advisable to either relocate your MusicCAST client, or use a wired network connection to connect to the MusicCAST server.

Wireless network connections
When and why should I use a wireless
connection?
The wireless network technology in the
MusicCAST system utilizes high frequency radio
signals to transmit data between the various
MusicCAST clients and the MusicCAST server.
You can place clients anywhere you wish without
physically connecting them to the MusicCAST
server, so long as they are within transmitting range
(about 30 meters).
This means that you do not need to go to the effort
of laying and connecting cables and can change the
location of your MusicCAST clients at will.
Wireless connections are thus very convenient
when there is enough signal strength for the client
to transmit and receive data from the server
reliably. However, since wireless network
connections do not carry as much data as wired
networks, the MusicCAST server can only
distribute to five MusicCAST clients
simultaneously using the wireless network.
Use wireless connections when:
You do not want to install network cables
You do not wish to use more than five
MusicCAST clients
Your MusicCAST clients are located close to the
server (see page 25 for details)
Note
Thick walls, televisions, and devices such as
cellular telephones that transmit radio signals may
interfere with or block the wireless network
signals from your MusicCAST system. In these
conditions, it is advisable to either relocate your
MusicCAST client, or use a wired network
connection to connect to the MusicCAST server.
