What are the home networking requirements?
All Kaleidescape components must reside in the same broadcast domain, and be connected to a 100Base-TX or 100/1000Base-T switched Ethernet LAN. We recommend that you have a DHCP server in your LAN so that each Kaleidescape component can automatically obtain an IP address, although, with care, an IP address can also be assigned manually. Access to the Kaleidescape Alerts, Software Update, Movie Guide, and Music Guide Services require that the Internet be accessible from the LAN to which the Kaleidescape System is connected. This capability is normally provided by a cable or DSL modem. If the Internet connection is unavailable for some period of time, the Kaleidescape System will continue to operate, giving you full access to your library, but you will not receive updates of the Movie Guide and Music Guide information or KEAOS software updates until Internet service is restored.
