JBL SDP-75 - 2 Network Setup; Choosing a Network Configuration

2 NETWORK SETUP
This chapter explains how to connect with your preferred device (tablet, laptop or desktop computer)
to the SDP-75 through a Wi-Fi or Ethernet network.
2.1 CHOOSING A NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The SDP-75 offers multiple network options in order to meet two important requirements:
• using a wireless device (tablet or laptop computer) throughout the room while performing acoustical
measurements with the SDP-75’s level and delay alignment tools;
• seamlessly integrating the SDP-75 into your home theatre’s technical environment;
Depending on the specific technical environment of your home theater, each of these requirements may or may not
correspond to the same network configuration.
We recommend the following strategy for the network setup of your SDP-75:
1. Setup Procedure: choose a network configuration that meets your requirements for the setup process. Three
options are possible:
A. The SDP-75 joins your local Wi-Fi network as a Wi-Fi client;
B. The SDP-75 joins your local Ethernet network as an Ethernet client;
C. Your device connects to the SDP-75’s own Wi-Fi network (Access Point).
2. Final installation: if needed, change the network configuration to meet the requirements to integrate the SDP-
75 into your overall home theater system. For the final installation of the system, we suggest to leave your
SDP-75 permanently connected to the local network. Two options are possible:
A. Connect an Ethernet cable between the SDP-75’s back panel and your ISP box. With this option, the
SDP-75 will always be available through your local network. This is the easiest option because the
SDP-75’s default DHCP network settings allows it to connect automatically to a local Ethernet
network.
B. Setup the SDP-75 network settings to connect as a Wi-Fi client to your ISP Box’s Wi-Fi access point.
This process is explained in the Advanced Wi-Fi Settings subchapter at the end of this chapter.
NOTE: You could also choose to leave the SDP-75 disconnected from your local network but this will
probably be less convenient if you want to access the Internet from the same device that is used to
operate the SDP-75.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Whatever option you choose for connecting to the SDP-75 through a network,
please keep in mind that the SDP-75 and your control device (tablet or computer) must be connected
to the same network, or to interconnected networks, such as a Wi-Fi network interconnected to an
Ethernet network.
