The Musiccast Network - Yamaha MCX-2000 Owner's Manual

The MusicCAST network
The MusicCAST server stores all music data used in your MusicCAST system. The MusicCAST client does
not store or record any music data. Your MusicCAST client uses a Local Area Network (LAN) to transmit
and receive data from the MusicCAST server, which it then plays back as music.
The MusicCAST system can use both wired and wireless network connections to transmit music data. Both
types of connections transmit the same data.
The wireless network in your MusicCAST system uses high frequency radio signals to transmit data.
You do not need a physical connection between your MusicCAST server and clients to listen to music over
a wireless network, but you need to place all clients in fairly close proximity to the server for them to work
properly:
A wired network transmits data through a special type of cable, called a LAN cable. You must physically
connect each MusicCAST client and server to a network router or hub with one of these cables.
Connections using LAN cables functions without problems over much longer distances than connections
using the wireless network used in the MusicCAST system.
