Connect to REX 19
If you don’t have a separate router, you may be able to connect at the DSL or cable modem.
(Check the documentation that came with your router or modem for details.) Do not connect
REX directly to a computer.
Some routers allow both wired and wireless connections. These routers include a wireless
access point that lets REX connect wirelessly to your network. They also allow wired
connections using Ethernet. In this case, you can choose to have a REX connect whichever
way is more convenient for you.
Some popular models of routers with wireless access points include: Linksys® WAP 54G,
Netgear® WGR series, and D-Link® AirPlus G.
To access music on a wired network, you must physically connect each REX to your router
using Ethernet cable unless your router includes a wireless access point.
CHANGING NETWORK SETTINGS
When you rst set up REX, REX establishes network connections as part of the set-up wizard.
You can turn the network connection off and on and view, edit, and test the settings manually.
Select Source: Setup>Network Settings (see FIGURE 12).
iPod
While it is OK to connect an iPod to REX via USB, the USB connection only allows REX to play
music les that were copied to the iPod in “disk mode.” When connected to an iPod by USB,
REX can’t play music that was loaded on that iPod using iTunes. This is because the iPod uses
a proprietary format for managing music. The optional REX iPod dock provides full functionality
and serves as a charging stand. Visit your REX dealer or www.alteclansing.com to purchase an
iPod dock for REX.
