Required system
n Broadband Internet connection
A broadband line connection to the Internet is
required in order to use the ASD-51W’s Internet
radio function and firmware update.
n Modem
This is a device that is connected to the broadband
line to communicate with the Internet. Some are
integrated with the router.
n Router
• When using the ASD-51W, we recommend you use
a router equipped with the following functions:
· Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server
This function automatically assigns IP addresses
on the LAN.
· Built-in 100BASE-TX switch
When connecting multiple devices, we
recommend a switching hub with a speed of 100
Mbps or greater.
• When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a
broadband router with built-in access point.
n Ethernet cable
(CAT-5 or greater recommended)
Use for wired LAN.
• The ASD-51W does not come with an Ethernet
cable.
• For Ethernet cable, we recommend that you use
shielded normal type cable. If you use flat type or a
non-shielded cable, the noise may adversely affect
other devices.
n Computer
A computer with the following specifications is
required to use a music server:
• OS
Windows
®
XP Service Pack2 or later, Windows
Vista
• Software
(Prepare one of the following.)
· Windows Media Player ver.11
· DLNA-compatible server software
• Internet browser
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later

For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP
(Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop.
NOTE
A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the
Internet.
No additional contract is needed if you already have
a broadband connection to the Internet.
The types of routers that can be used depend on the
ISP. Contact an ISP or a computer shop for details.
Depending on the server, video files may be
displayed, but they cannot be played on the ASD-
51W.
n Others
• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on
which network settings are made manually, make
the settings at GUI menu “Setup” – “Network”
– “Network Setup” (vpage 11).
• With the ASD-51W, it is possible to use the DHCP
and Auto IP functions to make the network settings
automatically.
• When using a broadband router (DHCP function),
the ASD-51W sets the IP address, etc.,
automatically.
When using the ASD-51W connected to a network
with no DHCP function, make the settings for the
IP address, etc., at GUI menu “Setup” – “Network”
– “Network Setup” (vpage 11).
• The ASD-51W is not compatible with PPPoE. A
PPPoE-compatible router is required if you have
a contract for a line of the type with which the
PPPoE is set.
• Depending on the ISP with which you have your
contract, it may be necessary to make proxy
server settings to use the Internet radio function.
If you made proxy server settings on the computer
to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server
settings on the ASD-51W in the same way.
