Setting-up an Akurate Music Server and a DS player in the same system

This is best approached in steps.

1. Set up the DS player from a clean network, exactly as described in the DS installation manual
2. Set up the Akurate Music Server (AMS) network settings
3. Attach the AMS to the network
4. Verify that the Linn equipment works
5. Attach any additional network devices such as routers and broadband modems

After completing step 1, take a note of the network sub-net address. In step 2 allocate a static IP address for the AMS. This address must be unique, and on the same sub-net as that used in step 1. Your network administrator will be able to allocate a unique address from the range dedicated to static IP addresses on your network. Before connecting the AMS, tell the AMS the chosen IP addresses of your NAS and the AMS itself; the AMS manual tells you how to do this. Move on to steps 3 and 4. Refer to the respective vendor's manuals to complete step 5.
