Appendix C: Planning Your Use of the Wireless-B Media Link
for Music
Overview
Before you set up the Media Link, you need to decide how the computer running the Media Server software
(called Musicmatch Jukebox) will send digital music to the Media Link; you have a choice of a wireless or wired
connection. This information is necessary for the proper setup and configuration of the Media Link.
Using the Media Link as Part of Your Wireless Network
If the Media Link connects directly to a wireless-equipped computer, or the Media Link connects via an access
point or wireless router (see Figure C-1), then the Media Link is part of your wireless network. If any part of the
connection to the Media Link is wireless, then the overall connection will be considered wireless.
Using the Media Link as Part of Your Wired Network
If the Media Link connects directly to your wired computer, or the Media Link connects via a wired router or
switch (see Figure C-2), then the Media Link is part of your wired network. Within a wired network, the devices
are connected with Ethernet network cables.
