Registration
Registering your MS300 is accomplished automatically when you go through the Quick
Start process described in the User’s Manual. Registration includes properly configuring
your MS300 for Internet access and then connecting to the McIntosh servers to register
your serial number and download the latest Internet Radio stations.
If you experience difficulty completing the registration process in QuickStart, follow
these guidelines to make sure you have all of the required information and that you can
make the proper connection to your Internet Service Provider and the McIntosh Servers.
Testing a Broadband Connection
1. Check the Ethernet Network Link - The green LED next to the MS300’s back
panel Ethernet jack should be on when properly connected to an Ethernet
network.
2. From the Ethernet Connection Quick Start screen, select the “perform test”
button. This will start the Ethernet Connection test which will test the
following network settings:
a. The ethernet link to your router or hub.
b. The DHCP addressing if you selected Dynamic IP Addressing.
c. The connection to your default Gateway (your route to the Internet).
d. The connection between your router and the McIntosh server.
If any of these tests fail, check your ethernet wiring with the proper test equipment, make
sure your router is properly configured as a DHCP router, and that you can access the
internet using the same network connection using a PC.
Check with your ISP or network administrator if you need assistance determining
whether or not you should use DHCP IP addressing. If you are going to use a static IP
address, it must be in the proper range assigned to your subnet. Again, check with your
ISP or network administrator before using a static IP address.
