ALL Linn DS/DSM products support 100Base-T excluding the Klimax DSM/3 that supports 1GBase-T connections and used on standard Networks
Contents
Supported networks
- Private - standard non-public IPs (192.168 / 10/0, 172.xxx) NATd to internet if required
 - Domestic - single household setup (no VLANs etc)
 - Ethernet - IEEE802.3 compliant (No jumbo frames.)
 
Services, ports, protocols
- The Services, ports and protocols are used by the Linn app and players in the network
 - Services
- UPnP  & SSDP (Linn DS/DSM discovery and control)
- Port 1900 (UDP)
- Port 2869 (TCP),
 - Ports 49152-65535 (both TCP & UDP)
 
 
 - Port 1900 (UDP)
 
 - UPnP  & SSDP (Linn DS/DSM discovery and control)

- DHCP
- Ports 67, 68 (UDP)
 
 
- DHCP
 
- ODP (OpenHome Device Protocol)
- TCP on an ephemeral port
 
 
- ODP (OpenHome Device Protocol)
 
Managed Switches
- Make sure they are programmed to work in Layer-2 mode
 
Routers/DHCP Servers
- Recommend a weekly scheduled reboot of these devices.
 
Jumbo packet/frames networking
- This is not an official standard and is not supported by the Linn DS/DSM.
 
Multicast or Unicast
If you are using more than six Linn DS/DSM products on the same network and want to share/Songcast the music to other rooms, then make sure the LAN can support multicasting.
If you have issues with your Routers, check:
- QoS is turned OFF (some Routers do not implement this consistently and this may block Linn DS discovery).
 - "IGMP Snooping" is turned OFF
 - On BTHomeHubs turn "Extended UPnP security" - OFF
 - On DLINK, within "Advanced", Multicast Streams - ENABLE
 - "Privacy Separator" is turned OFF
 - "WMM" is turned OFF
 - "Spanning Tree" is turned OFF
 - "Flow Control" is turned OFF
 - Block multicast / broadcast MAC address is turned OFF
 
- Speak to a networking specialist who understands the necessary equipment and setup to ensure proper handling of multicast traffic and enable multicast Songcasting
 
IGMP/IGMP Snooping
If your devices support this service, then make sure this is DISABLED. (This should only be enabled and setup by a “suitably qualified network expert”)
Green Energy mode
This is a power saving mode that different manufacturers will have different names for. This will put the router/switch/WAP in to low power mode that will be "woken" by a network packet. However, this "packet" is only wakes up the socket, but this packet may be a "Discover" packet. This will mean when the socket goes to sleep it makes the Linn DS/DSM undiscoverable, therefor this option should be disabled.
- * "Green mode" is turned OFF
 - * "Power saving" is turned OFF
 - * "Hibernation" is turned OFF
