Making the Connections to the Music Port Hardware (Fig. 2)
To install the Music Port hardware, connect the DB9 serial port output on the host PC 
(this may require the installation of a serial card in the host) using a standard nine pin 
serial cable. This connection is made at the side of the Music Port box labeled 
Controller. Connect a standard network CAT5 cable from the NuVoNet RJ-45 port on the 
Music Port hardware to one of the Device connections on either the Essentia E6G 
Allport or the Grand Concerto EZ Port. When connected, the blue Power LED will light. 

A second “RS232” DB9 port allows the Music Port Client to access specific Zone and 
Source control through NuVoNet. When this serial cable is connected, “Zone” and 
“Source” buttons will appear at the top of the PC Interface application. From those 
buttons, any zone or source can be accessed and controlled. This second serial cable is 
only required if the Music Port Client is going to be used, see section X. Using the 
Music Port Client Interface, pg. 33.
