NETWORK SETUP of NA7004

>Procedure of Network Setup mode.

(1)Press MENU button, then Menu appears on OLED-display.
(2)Select “Network Setting > Network Connecting” .
(3)Set parameters described below.
<DHCP> "ON"---Use this setting when DHCP server is on the local network.
"OFF"---Use this setting when DHCP server is not on the local network.
<IP Address> When <DHCP> sets "OFF”, please set IP address.
When <DHCP> sets "ON”, you can confirm the IP address that is set by server.
<Subnet Mask> When <DHCP> sets "OFF”, please set Subnet Mask.
When <DHCP> sets "ON”, you can confirm the Subnet Mask that is set by server.
<Gateway> Set the address of Gateway when Gateway is on the local network.
Do not set this parameter when Gateway is not on the local network.
<Primary DNS> Do not set this parameter.
<Second DNS> Do not set this parameter.
<Proxy> Set this parameter "OFF".

<Network Option: Network Standby Mode>.

(1)Press MENU button, then Menu appears on OLED-display.
(2)Select “Other > Network Standby”.
(3)Set parameters described below.
“ON”---Use this setting when using the NA7004 Connected in a network.
“OFF”--- Use this setting when not using the NA7004 connected in a network.
This setting is reducing the power consumption in the standby mode.

Protocol specification
The following three data forms are defined.
COMMAND : The message sent to a system from a controller(Touch Panel etc.)
A command to a system is given from a controller.
EVENT : The message sent to a controller (Touch Panel etc.) from a system
The result is sent, when a system is operated directly and a state changes.
*The form of EVENT presupposes that it is the same as that of COMMAND.
**Refer to the following table for the contents of COMMAND and EVENT.
RESPONSE : The message sent to a controller (Touch Panel etc.) from a system
if the ‘request command’ (COMMAND+?+CR(0x0D)) has came from a controller.
The RESPONSE should be sent within 200ms of receiving the COMMAND.
*The form of RESPONSE presupposes that it is the same as that of EVENT.

Basic specification: The command by ASCII CODE, parameter expression

*ASCII CODE which can be used is from 0x20 to 0x7F: the alphabet and the number of 0-9, and space (0x20), some signs,
AND carriage return (0x0D) --- It is used only as a pause sign.

Command structure: COMMAND + PARAMETER + CR (0x0D)

COMMAND: ASCII CODE of 2 characters
Ex. SI : Select Input source
MU : Mute Setting
MV : Master Volume setting
PW : system PoWer setting
PARAMETER : ASCII CODE ( up to 25 characters)
ex. DVD : function name

SUPER STADIUM : surround mode name

*Special Parameter--- ? : for request command

-4-
The example of a command * <CR> is the meaning of 0x0D.
SITUNER<CR> : Select Input source TUNER
MUON<CR> : Mute Set to On
MVUP<CR> : Master Volume UP
PWON<CR> : system PoWer ON
PWSTANDBY<CR> : system PoWer STANDBY
SI?<CR> : Request command for now playing input source >> Return RESPONSE ‘SI***<CR>’

-5-
Others
A) COMMAND is receivable also during transmission of EVENT.
B) The RESPONSE should be sent as opposed to the request command by all the commands with which an EVENT exists , not need to the another request
commands(ex. SV command).
C) The PARAMETER (with COMMAND and RESPONSE, EVENT) of minimum level of MASTER VOLUME defines “99”.
D) If the MASTER VOLUME & CHANNEL VOLUME set with 0.5dB step, the PARAMETER (with COMMAND and RESPONSE, EVENT) defines three ASCII
characters as bellows.
Ex. MASTER VOLUME = +1.0dB : MV81<CR>
+0.5dB : MV805<CR>
0dB : MV80<CR>
-0.5dB : MV795<CR>
-1.0dB : MV79<CR>
| |
-79.5dB : MV005<CR>
-80.0dB : MV00<CR>
-80.5dB : MV995<CR>
--- : MV99<CR>
* At the **.0dB step, only uses two ASCII characters as PARAMETER, same as usual.

K) 1 seconds later, please transmit the next COMMAND after transmitting a power on COMMAND（PWON）.
