the industry standard TCP/IP protocol, it’s efficient and
very responsive.
The Network Audio server supports the MP3 and WAV
formats.

Network Requirements
■
Ethernet Network
The DTR-10.5’s Ethernet port supports 10Base-T. For
best results, a 100Base-T switched Ethernet network is
recommended. Although it’s theoretically possible to
use a wireless network, due to unpredictable perfor-
mance, it may not provide satisfactory results, so a
wired network is recommended.

Some routers have a modem built-in, and some ISPs
require you to use specific routers. Please consult your

CAT5 Ethernet cable
Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable (straight-type).
■
Internet Access (for Internet radio)
To use Internet radio, your Ethernet network must have
Internet access. A narrowband Internet connection (e.g.,
56K modem, ISDN) will not provide satisfactory
results, so a broadband connection is strongly recom-
mended (e.g., cable modem, xDSL modem, etc). Please
consult your ISP or computer dealer if you’re unsure.
