The NAS has a number of functions in a DS system

• Stores the audio files

• Provides a DHCP server to the network

• Hosts the selected media server

• Presents the audio file system over open file sharing protocols

Minimum requirements:

• DHCP server

• Raid (at least levels 1 or 5)

• Supports Twonky 4.4 (for UPnP AV 1.0)

• High end read throughput (> 15 Mbps)

• Gigabit Ethernet

• Samba/CIFS server

• Easy configuration

• Scriptable remote configuration/setup

• Easy installation of TwonkyMedia Server

WAPs that Linn have approved* for use:

• Infrant ReadyNAS NV+

An approved device is one that meets all the system requirements for that product type, and has additionally been tested by Linn. Many other non-approved devices will work perfectly well with the DS players. However, it is possible you will encounter issues with poorly implemented 3rd party products that impact the performance of the DS system.
