Adding More ZonePlayers
After your Sonos Digital Music System is up and running, you can add more
ZonePlayers to your Sonos Digital Music System any time. Decide upon the best
locations for your additional ZonePlayers. If your house has structured (built-in) wiring,
you can make a wired connection to the additional ZonePlayers. If you don’t have
structured wiring, our built-in wireless technology is ideal for you.
When and why should I use a wireless connection?
The Sonos Digital Music system uses a built-in wireless connection to communicate
between the various ZonePlayers. You can place ZonePlayers anywhere you wish
without physically connecting them to your computer network, as long as they are
within transmitting range (up to 100 ft. depending upon your home’s layout). This
means that you do not need to go to the effort of installing cables, and you can change
the location of your ZonePlayer at any time.
Use wireless connections when:
• You do not want to install network cables
• You may want to move the ZonePlayer
• There is enough signal strength for the ZonePlayer to transmit and receive data
reliably
To add a ZonePlayer
1.
Place the ZonePlayer in the room you have selected, and attach speakers.
2.
If you are making a wired connection, connect a standard Ethernet cable from
either your router, another ZonePlayer, or a ‘live’ network wall plate to any of the
Ethernet switch connections on the back of the new ZonePlayer.
If you are making a wireless connection, skip this step and continue on to step 3.
3.
Attach the supplied power cord, and plug into a wall outlet.
