3 Getting Connected
Each NaimNet music server carries a variety of connection and interface sockets on its
rear panel. These are illustrated and described in the following diagrams and paragraphs.
The numeric legends on the rear panel diagrams refer to the numbered paragraphs in
Section 3.2
3.2 Music server Connections
3.2.1 Keyboard Socket
Optionally connect a PS2 format keyboard here to control
the music server in combination with a local display.
3.2.2 Mouse Socket
Optionally connect a PS2 format mouse here to control the
music server in combination with a local display.
3.2.3 VGA Interface
Optionally connect a VGA format display screen here for
display of the music server Local Interface.
3.2.4 Serial Interface
For use if the music server is to be integrated into an RS232
controlled environment.
3.2.5 USB Interface Sockets
USB control (keyboard/mouse/touch screen) or audio
source devices may be connected here. USB source
devices (iPod for example) can be made available across
the network.
3.2.6 Network Socket
Connect to your network router here. The music server
requires a working internet connection with DHCP server to
operate fully.
3.2.7 S-video and Composite Video Sockets
Connect an S-video or composite video screen (television)
here for display of the music server Local Interface.
3.2.8 IR Input Socket
Optionally connect an RC5 control signal here for local
control of the music server from an IR control repeater.
3.2.9 Coax and Optical Digital Audio Outputs
These sockets provide S/PDIF format digital audio for
connection to a local audio system’s digital input. They
duplicate analogue output one
3.2.10 Analogue Outputs Two to Four (NS02 Only)
These three pairs of phono sockets provide analogue
audio outputs from the music server to three further areas.
Note:
Long runs of analogue cable will cause degradation
of audio quality. Cable runs should be as short as possible.
3.2.11 Signal Ground
Optionally disconnects and “floats” the analogue signal
ground from the chassis earth. Only select
floating
if
the music server is directly connected in a hi-fi system
incorporating another earthed source component.
Note:
Directly connected in this context means an audio
signal cable that includes an earth connection.
3.2.12 DIN and Phono Analogue Output One
This analogue output from the music server for connection
to a local audio system. Use the DIN option in preference
to the Phono option if connecting to a Naim system.
Note:
Long runs of analogue cable will cause degradation
of audio quality. Cable runs should be as short as possible.
