Disklavier

It is my understanding that internet is only available
on the Mark IV through the ethernet port.  There is no
way to install any drivers for wireless hardware on the
Mark IV.  Therefore, I do not understand how that
wireless router will work.  A wireless router is
connected to your internet connection - like the modem
that plugs into the telephone jack for DSL or or the
modem that plugs into your cable connection.  That
modem is then connected to a wireless router.  The
computers that see that wireless router usually have a
PCMCIA wireless card or USB antenna or bridge.  For a
wireless connection to work on the Mark IV, it would
need an antenna and a driver to run it.

Even if you hung a wireless router to the bottom of the
piano, it still needs to connect to a high speed modem
through either a coax cable or ethernet cable.   A
wireless router is a transmitter not a receiver.
Whether you have a Mac or a PC, you still need to use
an ethernet cable plugged into the Mark IV which has a
Lynux OS.

Perhaps you are trying to network whereby the wireless
router is connected to the Mark IV via ethernet cable
and your personal laptop or other computer is
wirelessly connected to that same router.  Supposedly
you might be able to see the Mark IV on this network,
but I doubt you would have any control over it.

If I am wrong, please enlighten me.

with Macintosh


The pdf document did not come over as an attachment.

Am interested in this information.  I just subscribed
to the Disklavier Radio and am VERY
pleased with it.  The Jazz channel is outstanding.  I
am using a Macintosh portable hooked
via ethernet cable to my Mark IV while putting the Mac
in "share internet" mode via
ethernet.  I would like to do this wirelessly.  I will
probably buy the airport express
hardware as suggested in this thread, but am waiting
for the newer revision.

thanks,
Joan

I already had a wireless network in my home so this was
all that was necessary.  It's tucked
up under the piano and can't be seen.
