The MP101 Cannot Reach the LAN

The MP101 Digital Music Player Cannot Reach the LAN

The MP101 can connect wired or wirelessly, but not both at the same time.

If Using a Wired Connection

Because the MP101 incorporates Auto Uplink technology (also called Auto MDI/MDI-X), it is capable of automatically sensing the polarity of the Ethernet connection. You can therefore connect using either a standard or crossover Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port of your MP101 will automatically configure itself properly.
If connecting to your network using Ethernet the link LED on the back of your MP101 and on your hub or router should both be on. If not, try the following:
• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation.
• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.

If Using a Wireless Connection

• Your wireless access point may be too far from the MP101. It may be necessary to move either the AP and MP101 closer together.
• If your access point is configured to disable broadcast of SSID, the MP101 will not be able to detect it. You will need to manually configure your wireless.
• The MP101 cannot connect to the wireless network while it is connected to the Ethernet network. Disconnect your Ethernet cable.
