NOTE: This page is retired as this was created in the days when we still had modems, low speed internet and poor Wifi. Due to many updates in the Linn DS, Ethernet/Internet world and components this information is obsolete, but kept for reference.

Plug the Linn DS/DSM/HUB into your LAN and it will work.

The network adapter on the computer should already be configured to ‘obtain an IP address automatically’.

Test Step

  • Test that the computer has internet access
  1. Download Konfig here
  2. Install Konfig onto the computer


Step 4: Connect Linn DS To Network Switch

  1. Connect the Linn DS to the network switch
  2. Power on the Linn DS


High4.1.2.png


Test Step

  • Test that the Linn DS appears on the network
  1. Open Konfig
  2. Check that the Linn DS is discovered in Konfig


Step 5: Connect NAS to Network Switch

  1. Connect the NAS to the network switch
  2. Power on the NAS

The network adapter on the NAS should already be configured to 'obtain an IP address automatically'.


Step 6: Install Linn DS Control Software On Computer

  1. Download and install Kazoo from here
  2. View the Kazoo manual here

Test Step

  • Test that the Linn DS plays music
  1. Open Kazoo
  2. Select the Linn DS
  3. Select Radio from the list of available sources
  4. Highlight and play any radio station; the timer will start to count when the radio station is playing

Note: To hear music, the Linn DS must be connected to a hi-fi system


Step 7: Connect Wireless Access Point

  1. Connect the WAP to the router

Test Step

  • Install Kazoo on the wireless control point and check that you can control the Linn DS
