The HD24 can be connected directly to the Internet. The networking setup pages in the utility menu allow the user to setup both its IP address and the Subnet Mask. If the HD24's Ethernet jack is attached directly to a cable modem/DSL line, its song files may be transferred over the Internet to any computer that has been given the correct IP address (and, if you wish, a password). Contact your Internet Service Provider to find out what IP address you should enter
into the HD24's Utility menu. Note: you can't record or play back while the HD24 is in FTP Server mode.
