2.0 Introduction
NetConnect is an all-in-one network music amplier controlled by the Systemline 7 app.
NetConnect can be installed in a zone, connected to a pair of speakers of choice, a local power
supply and ethernet connection (obtained from a dedicated cable or powerline adaptor). Multiple
NetConnects can be used as a standalone Systemline 7 system, one being congured as the
‘master’. It is a reliable, simple to install solution that can be deployed in many ways, and its
HIRES audio capability ensures the very best sound quality. NetConnect can also be used with
an S7NetServer, as part of a standard S7 system. Most streaming services are supported with the
added ability to play music back from a USB drive, and one touch control from the powerful S7
app.

6.0 NetConnect Conguration Quick Start
1. Open a Web browser on a PC or Mac
2. In the web bar at the top type http://netconnect/
3. Quick Start page: this is where you decide if the NetConnect should be in Master or Slave
mode. If multiple NetConnects are being used as a standalone installation then only one
NetConnect should be in Master mode as this acts as a server and a zone player and will
serve all other NetConnects in the installation that are set to Slave mode. If you are using
NetConnect with the S7 NetServer then all NetConnects should be in Slave mode as the S7
NetServer is the server.
4. Zone Name: This is where you decide what zone name you want to appear in the app usually
associated with the room that NetConnect is installed in.
5. Time Zone (only in master mode): this option must be set in master mode if you are going to
use the S7 app alarm features.
7.0 NetConnect Advanced Settings
1. Select Advanced Setup.
2. Enter default username: admin and password: password the rst page you see will be the
overview page.
8.0 NetLink Conguration – Quick Start
1. Serial Number : this is the number that was given to the NetConnect on the production run
2. NetConnect Mode : This indicates if the NetConnect you are logged into is in Master or Slave
mode
3. USB Music Connected : Indicates if a USB drive has been connected. With NetConnect
in master mode you can connect one USB drive to the USB connections on the side,
NetConnect will automatically scan any music stored on the drive and make it available in
MyMusic in the S7 app. Slave units are not compatible with this option.
4. Firmware Code : In the box you can put a custom code for beta releases if authorised to do
so.
5. Check for Update : Pressing this button lets you check for updates if you do not have access
to the app.
6. Firmware Available : You will be notied if new software is available next to this text, don’t
forget that the S7 App will also prompt the user if there is new software available.
9.0 Factory Setup
1. Mac Address : This is a unique address given to a device in order for it to access the internet
and cannot be changed for more info visit: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address
2. Additional Web Port : This setting is only adjusted if you want to use port forwarding
to access the NetConnect remotely. We would not suggest this is used unless you have
advanced understanding of networking default is port 80.
3. Username and Password : Here you can set a specic username and password – beware the
reset button will erase these settings.
4. Save : Saves any settings you do on the page.

8
5. Set Factory Defaults : This sets NetConnect back to factory defaults and erases all user
settings.
6. Reboot : Reboots/Restarts NetConnect.
10.0 Network Setup
1. DHCP Enabled : With this setting selected NetConnect will obtain its IP address from the
router and ll out the information in the boxes below automatically. This setting is what we
would suggest you leave it on. Static IP address should only be set if you have advanced
understanding of networking.
2. IP address : If you must put the NetConnect on a static IP address then enter the IP address in
this eld : consult your network administrator in order to do this.
3. Subnet Mask : This is only required if you are setting a static IP address. It is usually
255.255.255.0, however some networks may be running on a dierent Subnet so check with
your network administrator
4. Gateway : This is usually the IP address of your router and is only required if you are setting a
static IP address - consult your network administrator in order to do this.
5. If you are using a 3rd party control system such as KNX or Lutron then a static IP address may
be required in case the router assigns a dierent IP address for NetConnect.
11.0 Factory Setup
1. Operation Mode : The drop down box allows you to be able to switch between master and
slave mode:
Master – In this mode the NetConnect acts as a server and a zone player, this mode should
only be used if you are using multiple NetConnects in a standalone installation, There is
only a requirement for one NetConnect to be in master mode, all other NetConnects in a
standalone installation must be in slave mode. Master turns the Logitech Media Server (LMS)
on, this enables you to listen to stored music and gives you access to Deezer Spotify etc.
Slave – this mode would be used for any secondary NetConnects in a standalone installation,
or when a S7 NetServer is being used.
2. Link to LMS : The LMS is the server that we use in NetConnect or the S7 NetServer. We have
developed NetConnect so that the LMS should never need to be accessed however selecting
the hyperlink in blue will take you to the servers web page for advanced users.
3. Get IP Automatically : This box should remain ticked this will make any slave or master
NetConnects obtain the IP address of the Master or NetServer that has the LMS installed.
4. NetServer/Master IP : This IP address box should always be green with the Master or
NetServers IP address listed. A green box indicates that the NetConnect has found the
NetServer or NetConnect master unit. If the box is red, the NetConnect cannot nd the LMS,
check that you have one NetConnect in master mode or that your NetServer is switched on.
5. Save : Saves any settings you do on the page
6. Factory Settings : Sets the page settings back to factory default.

9
12.0 Zone Setup
1. Zone Name : This is where you can call your zone a name, usually associated with the area
that NetConnect and the speakers are located e.g.‘Mollies Room’ or ‘Kitchen’etc.
2. Live Control : In this area you can conrm that NetConnect is operating correctly over the
Network.
3. Standby On/O : Pressing this button switches NetConnect on and o.
4. Volume : When Netconnect is on and playing something, the + and – buttons allow the
audible volume to be adjusted.
5. Balance : Allows you to make sure that you have left and right correctly wired and that you
have full signal in each.
6. Main Settings : These settings relate to options in the zone
7. Maximum Volume : Here you can limit the maximum volume for a specic zone. Steps are
from 0-30, 30 being the maximum.
8. Alarm Volume : This is where you can select the wake up alarm volume. This can also be
altered in the S7 App. Steps are from 0-30, 30 being the maximum.
9. Turn On Volume : You can enter the stored volume that you want you zone to turn on at, for
example in a garden area where there is a lot of open space you may wat the turn on volume
to be higher than in a Kitchen where there is usually less space. Steps are from 0-30, 30 being
the maximum.
10. Save : Saves any changes you make on the page
11. Factory Settings : Sets the page settings back to factory default.
13.0 Using a USB Hard/Thumb drive (master mode only)
We would recommend a solid state USB drive is used for good reliability formatted in FAT32. Don’t
forget, if you are formatting a drive with data on it the data will be erased.
Insert your USB hard/thumb drive into your PC/Mac and transfer your music onto the drive.
NetConnect does not look at the folder structure on the USB drive, it looks at the information built
into each individual le, this is called an ID3 tag. For more information on ID3 tags please go to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3
Once your music has been transferred to the hard/thumb drive, safely remove it from your PC
or MAC and insert it into either of the 2 USB slots on the NetConnect that is in master mode.
NetConnect will scan the drive inserted and once nished the music will be available to view and
play from My Music in the S7 App.
Stored music is not compatible with NetConnects in slave mode.
Note: Only one USB drive can be used at a time maximum current is 1.2A

10
14.0 Remote Power (optional extra) SN8510
The remote power adapters give the ability to send power and network down one CAT 5/6 cable.
This means that the power supply and network connection can be located elsewhere (less than
50M).
15.0 Troubleshooting
No stored music appearing in App:
1. Check that you have a USB drive attached to the NetConnect that is in master mode and that
the USB drive is in the correct format as indicated in section 13.0.
2. Check that the music has successfully transferred from your PC or Mac onto the drive.
Cannot nd NetConnect on the network:
1. Check that the lights are active on the network port on NetConnect - orange = solid,
green = ashing. If they are not then check that the network connection is active. This can be
done by trying another cable or connecting NetConnect directly into your router.
2. Has NetConnect been a static IP address? If so the wrong information could have been
entered, set NetConnect back to factory default indicated in section 16.0.
No audio coming out of speakers:
1. Make sure that the speakers are terminated correctly at both the speaker end and at the
NetConnect end. There must be NO individual strands between positive and negative
connection at either end as this will cause a short circuit. The amplier section will go into
protect mode. Prolonged short circuit can cause damage to the amplier. This will not be
covered under warranty.
2. Do you have an internet connection? NetConnect streaming services will only work with an
active internet connection. Best way to test is to plug a USB drive in with some music into
NetConnect in master mode, then go to My Music in the app and try again.
Deezer is not working:
1. Make sure you have entered the correct account details in Systemline7 app>
Deezer>Account Settings - this must be your Deezer registered email address and
Deezer password. If you are still having issues we suggest that you log into Deezer
https://www.deezer.com/en/ using a web browser and check your registered Deezer email
address and password.
Cannot nd all the zones via the S7 app:
Net Connect installation only:
1. Only one unit in a complete NetConnect installation should be in master mode. The rest of
the NetConnects should be switched to slave mode. If they are all in master mode, this can
cause issues.
NetConnects installed with S7 NetServer:
1. All NetConnects installed with a S7 NetServer should be in slave mode If they are all in master
mode, this can cause issues.
2. Restart the app by double pressing the Apple Home button on an iOS device and closing
the app down. Info on this can be found on Apple’s website https://support.apple.com/
en-gb/HT201330 Info on how to do this on Android will depend on your Android device
manufacturer. Try https://www.wikihow.tech/Force-Quit-Apps-on-Android

11
3. Check that the lights are active on the network port on NetConnect - orange = solid,
green = ashing. If not, refer to ‘Cannot nd NetConnect on the network’ above.
Can’t rename a zone:
1. When renaming a zone the information has to be sent via the WiFi network from the device
you are using to rename. (iOS only)Go to the closest WiFi access point or WiFi router, open
the S7 app press the zone you want to rename and make sure it is at the top of your list. Now
press the i button to the right of the zone name, select change zone name and enter in the
required name followed by Done.

www.systemline.co.uk.
16.0 Factory Default
On the top of NetConnect you will nd a recessed button, using a pin or a paper clip inserted
through the hole press the button in until you see a faint light ashing rapidly through the top of
the unit, (look through the holes on the right towards the middle of the unit) release the button
when the lights are ashing and wait for the NetConnect to reboot.
Note: This will erase all user account settings for any streaming services.
