Network Setup
The Nº500H series power amplifier supports a network connection 
through the Ethernet port. The Nº500H series can connect to a 
network through use of a router or directly to a computer.
The Nº500H series can be:
1.   
Connected to a router with DHCP active – We highly 
recommend using this option. Since the DHCP (Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns the IP (Internet 
Protocol) addresses, setup is much simpler.
2.  
 Connected to a router with DHCP not active – This method 
requires more advanced networking knowledge to set up 
because it uses fixed static IP addressing.
3.    
Connected directly to a computer with no router – We 
recommend only using this option when a router is not 
available. This method requires more advanced networking 
knowledge to set up because it uses fixed static IP addressing
and a special network crossover cable.
This section provides general instructions for all three methods.
The following materials are required to connect the Nº500H series 
to the network with a router:
•  Nº500H series power amplifier
•  Two twisted-pair network cables
•  PC-compatible computer with 10/100Base-T network card
•  10/100Base-T router
The Nº500H series does not support wireless connection. However, a 
cable attached from the amplifier to a wireless adapter can be used to 
interface with a wireless network.
The following materials are required to connect the Nº500H series 
to a computer without the use of a router:
•  Nº500H series power amplifier
•  Network crossover cable
•  PC-compatible computer with 10/100Base-T network card
