The Music Port Server is a single-rack space unit connected over CAT5 to the NuVo system using the NuVoNet communication protocol and, via the unit’s RJ45 Ethernet port, onto the home network. Dealers simply open up the Music Port Server’s Remote Configuration Tool to set up the unit.

  Once the Music Port Server is installed and configured, digital audio content, complete with full metadata display, can then be browsed and accessed through NuVo’s in-wall and wireless Control Pads.
