Configuring Nevo S70 for IP-Based Networking Configuring Nevo Ecosystems For a list of compatible players and servers, see the UPnP compatibility list on the dealer site at www.mynevo.com. • Nevo S70 can control digital media playback using Media Zones if you have configured zones in NevoStudio Pro (see “Changing Nevo System Settings” on page 129). NevoS70 communicates with media servers and media players over a wireless network. Nevo S70 employs 802.11b WiFi technology to connect to the WiFi network. NevoS70 ’s demands on the wireless network are minimal, which means that wireless devices (bridges, routers, etc.) that support the 802.11b standard (or higher) are sufficient to support its use. You can download a configuration file that includes all of the customization options for your client, via the supplied USB cable or WiFi connection to your computer. See “Downloading Configurations” on page 133 for details. • Nevo Emulator (a Nevo simulator that runs on your computer) provides a convenient way to fully review and test a Nevo configuration file before downloading it to Nevo. Nevo Emulator gives you complete control over digital media playback using Media Zones and allows you to test multi-room IR control that has been defined using NevoLink devices. • Including the optional NevoLink (see “Designing a NevoLink Network” on page 148) in your client’s network allows Nevo S70 to send commands over an existing or newly-configured wireless network. To use Nevo S70 for multi-room control of infrared devices, your client’s environment must include NevoLink in the rooms or entertainment closets where the infrared devices are located. Connect NevoLink to the network using a CAT-5 network cable (see “Designing a NevoLink Network” starting on page 148 for details). NevoLinks may be connected to the network through popular networking devices such as switches, routers or wireless bridges. NevoS70 uses standard protocols such as TCP, UDP, and broadcasts to discover and communicate with NevoLinks. 136 NevoStudio Pro Design Guide
Configuring Nevo Ecosystems General Networking Setup General Networking Setup This section provides step-by-step configuration instructions to set up Nevo S70 hardware and software on a network. In addition to detailing hardware and software configuration items for Nevo S70 and NevoLink this section covers the software configurations in NevoStudio Pro, and general computer settings that would affect Nevo applications. Nevo Networking Requirements • At least one Wireless Access Point (802.11g or higher) • At least one switch or router (cabled or wireless). The following devices should be connected: NevoLink, the computers with SimpleCenter, any other UPnP-compliant media servers and players, and the wireless Access Point. • One DHCP Server (this service may be handled by the router) • All Nevo products must be on the same subnet • A NevoLink in each room or equipment closet containing devices to be controlled via IR over IP network. • Nevo S70 is configured to send commands via WiFi signals (configured when constructing the user interface). See “Assigning a NevoLink to a Device” on page 164 and “Changing Nevo System Settings” on page 129. Installer Tip: Your computer with NevoStudio Pro installed will be a temporary addition to the network. Step One: Verifying Software Installation and Nevo S70 Connection 1. Install NevoStudio Pro (including the .NET and Microsoft Active Sync components) and register online. See “Chapter 1: Installing and Updating Nevo Software” for more information. 2. Create a configuration file (see “Chapter 3: Designing with NevoStudio Pro”). 3. Turn on Nevo S70 and set the date and time. NevoStudio Pro Design Guide 137
