Cabling

Cabling for LUMIN can involve 4 different categories

  1. Network
  2. Audio output
  3. Power
  4. USB Music Storage

A. Network

A wired Ethernet connection of at least 100BASE-T is a requirement for all LUMIN players.

Network Connection

Use the included (or commonly available replacement) Ethernet cable to connect LUMIN to your Wi-Fi Router.

LUMIN can also be connected to an appropriate Network Switch as long as it's on the same network as the Wi-Fi Router, any control devices running the LUMIN App, and any Music Servers.
