About Transporter Thank you for purchasing a Transporter network music player. Transporter lets you play your digitized music collection through your stereo system using your wireless or ethernet network. With Transporter, you can also listen to internet radio stations, set alarms, display RSS feeds, and more! Transporter was designed to appeal to the most discerning audiophiles and music lovers. It streams digital music with sound quality that surpasses even the most exotic compact disc players. At the heart of Transporter is a no compromise attitude to component selection and electronic design. The rotary TransNav controller uses dynamic tactile feedback to provide fast access to any song even in the largest music collection. The sleek, backlit, infrared remote and dual uorescent displays make it easy to use from anywhere in the room. Transporters back panel features a complete set of professional-grade connectors, including both balanced and unbalanced signals for its analog and digital interfaces. Transporters AK4396 Miracle DAC was chosen for its high dynamic range and low distortion. Its low out-of-band noise allows for the use of low-order output lters with higher cutoffs, resulting in preservation of phase and reduced distortion in the audible band. This extraordinary accuracy at higher frequencies allows Transporter to resolve the exact staging of instruments and the nest details of any recording. In addition, Transporters digital inputs allow its built-in DAC to be used with other sources. Transporters digital path is not only bit perfect, but also extremely accurate in timing precision. Clock signals in Transporter are handled not as ones and zeroes, but as precision analog signals. Specialized crystal oscillators, careful clock management, and linear-regulated logic supplies ensure the lowest possible jitter throughout the system. Transporters DAC and output ampliers are powered by Super Regulators, based on the legendary design by Walt Jung. These regulators offer lower output impedance, faster response, and better noise rejection than standard three-terminal regulators. The result is an incredibly natural sound, with a pitch-black background and a shocking level of detail. This user guide includes setup and basic operating instructions for your new player. We are continually adding new features to Transporter, some new capabilities may not be covered here. You can nd additional information about the latest Transporter features, as well as detailed documentation for developers, on our web site, http://www.slimdevices.com/. Transporter is powered by the open source SlimServer software, which is the result of the efforts of software developers worldwide working together in an open community. We are grateful to everyone who helped create Transporter. We hope you enjoy Transporter and that youll tell a friend about our products.

Connecting Transporter

Digital Inputs Unbalanced Analog Outputs Optical Coax S/ BNC AES/EBU S/PDIF Balanced TOSLINK PDIF Antenna Connectors

Audio Connections

Transporter has a host of both digital and analog connections to choose from. Picking the one thats right for you depends on how your current audio system is set up. For instance, if balanced inputs are available on your amplier, preamplier, or receiver, its usually better to use those rather than the unbalanced inputs. Transporter also provides a set of digital input connections to allow other digital audio sources to use Transporter as a digital to analog converter. You can select from these inputs using the remote control or front panel controls. Transporter has the following audio connections available:

Analog Outputs

Unbalanced RCA connections (2Vrms/5.7Vpp, 100 ohms impedance, with selectable attenuation)
Balanced Analog Outputs Optical Coax S/ BNC AES/EBU Word PDIF S/PDIF Balanced Clock Input Infrared Input Output Ethernet RS-232 Serial AC Power
Balanced XLR connectors (3Vrms/8.5Vpp, 100 ohms impedance, xed attenuation)
1. Connect an output from the Transporter to your stereo amplier, preamp, or receiver with the appropriate interconnect. The most common connection uses the unbalanced analog output red and white RCA connectors to connect to a line-level input, such as a CD or TAPE input. (Note: Transporters outputs are not compatible with PHONO inputs.) More details about Transporters audio connections are available in the Audio Connections section. 2. If you are using an ethernet network connection with your Transporter, connect an ethernet cable from your hub or switch to Transporter. Otherwise, screw the included wireless antennae to the two gold antenna connectors on Transporter. 3. Put the two AA batteries into the remote control. 4. Connect the included power cable to Transporter and plug it in. You can leave Transporter plugged in all the time. When not in use, it enters standby mode and dims the display. You can also dim the display by pressing the BRIGHTNESS button on the remote or front panel.
Digital Outputs and Inputs

Transporter also has an infrared output for the Transporter to control other interfaces, for instance turning on a receiver or preamp and setting the receiver to a particular input that the Transporter is connected to. This output requires an IR emitter connected via the 3.5mm mono connection and that the SlimServer IR Blaster plugin software is installed and congured appropriately. The IR Blaster software can be found under Plugins at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/.

Wake-on-LAN

Your computer may be congured to wake up when you access it with your remote control. This works by sending a special packet to the ethernet port on your computer; it does not work with computers connected via wireless network adaptors. To use Wake-on-LAN:
Analog Output Attenuation (For Qualied Personnel Only)
Transporter has a set of internal attenuators that can be used to reduce the voltage level of the unbalanced analog outputs. If you are connecting Transporter directly to an amplier that does not have an input gain control, you may need to change the attenuation level. To change the attenuation level, youll need to remove the cover of your Transporter and move a pair of jumpers. Youll need a 1/16 hex key to remove the screws holding the cover on. To do this: 1. Unplug Transporter from the AC power. 2. Using a 1/16 hex key, remove four screws on each side of Transporter that hold the top in place. (You do not need to remove any of the screws on the bottom of Transporter.) 3. Slide the top off towards the back of the unit. 4. Near the unbalanced analog outputs, youll see a set of jumpers, like in the picture below:

VPN clients for connecting to corporate networks remotely can also cause this behavior. If you can nd rewall options in your VPN client. Some examples of VPN clients include Cisco VPN Client and Checkpoint VPN+Firewall-1. My computer is displaying an error that says that another device on my network is using the same IP address. If you have a Transporter and you have connected it using both ethernet and wireless, your Transporter may be set up for bridging and has created a loop in your network and you need to disconnect one of your network connections. Unplug the ethernet connection or go back to the setup screens to set up your Transporter to connect using ethernet. Im trying to use a mapped network drive like Y:\ for my Music Folder on my Windows computer and it does not work. Use a UNC-style path to specify your music library in the Server Settings page. Instead of X:\ path for a mounted volume, use \\SERVERNAME\path\ style addressing. This works for some servers where direct volume letter mapping does not. You may have to use the IP address of the machine sharing the network drive (for example: \\192.168.1.105\Files\Music\). Please note that in order for this to work, the network share must not require authentication (a username or password). How do I use multiple folders or disks with my music library? You can create links or shortcuts to other folders and place them in your specied Music Library Folder. The contents of the linked folders will then be part of your Music Library. More information about this can be found in the FAQ at http://faq.slimdevices.com/. I added some music to my library but its not showing up. If you add music to your music library, you may need to tell SlimServer to rescan your music library. From the web interface, click Server Settings, and click Rescan. SlimServer begins to examine your music folder, looking for new music. Depending on how much music you have, this could take several minutes. The new music will not appear in your music library on the SlimServer until the rescan is complete. Some of the songs in my iTunes library dont show up on Transporter or say STOPPED when I try to play them. Whats up with that? If youve moved your iTunes music les around, iTunes may export incorrect information about the songs in its library. Youll need to make sure that iTunes has the correct folder

About Transporter Thank you for purchasing a Transporter network music player. Transporter lets you play your digitized music collection through your stereo system using your wireless or ethernet network. With Transporter, you can also listen to internet radio stations, set alarms, display RSS feeds, and more! Transporter was designed to appeal to the most discerning audiophiles and music lovers. It streams digital music with sound quality that surpasses even the most exotic compact disc players. At the heart of Transporter is a no compromise attitude to component selection and electronic design. The rotary TransNav controller uses dynamic tactile feedback to provide fast access to any song even in the largest music collection. The sleek, backlit, infrared remote and dual uorescent displays make it easy to use from anywhere in the room. Transporters back panel features a complete set of professional-grade connectors, including both balanced and unbalanced signals for its analog and digital interfaces. Transporters AK4396 Miracle DAC was chosen for its high dynamic range and low distortion. Its low out-of-band noise allows for the use of low-order output lters with higher cutoffs, resulting in preservation of phase and reduced distortion in the audible band. This extraordinary accuracy at higher frequencies allows Transporter to resolve the exact staging of instruments and the nest details of any recording. In addition, Transporters digital inputs allow its built-in DAC to be used with other sources. Transporters digital path is not only bit perfect, but also extremely accurate in timing precision. Clock signals in Transporter are handled not as ones and zeroes, but as precision analog signals. Specialized crystal oscillators, careful clock management, and linear-regulated logic supplies ensure the lowest possible jitter throughout the system. Transporters DAC and output ampliers are powered by Super Regulators, based on the legendary design by Walt Jung. These regulators offer lower output impedance, faster response, and better noise rejection than standard three-terminal regulators. The result is an incredibly natural sound, with a pitch-black background and a shocking level of detail. This user guide includes setup and basic operating instructions for your new player. We are continually adding new features to Transporter, some new capabilities may not be covered here. You can nd additional information about the latest Transporter features, as well as detailed documentation for developers, on our web site, http://www.slimdevices.com/. Transporter is powered by the open source SqueezeCenter software, which is the result of the efforts of software developers worldwide working together in an open community. We are grateful to everyone who helped create Transporter. We hope you enjoy Transporter and that youll tell a friend about our products.

My Transporter is not seen by SqueezeCenter (Player not found) but it does appear to be working properly. Your Transporter is probably connected to SqueezeNetwork, rather than your local SqueezeCenter. To tell if this is the case, go to the main menu (tap the LEFT arrow a couple of times), and see if the rst line of the display says SqueezeNetwork (X of Y). If it does, press down until you see Sign Off and press the RIGHT arrow. How do I nd the IP address of the computer where I have installed SqueezeCenter? On Windows: Click Start > Run, type in cmd and hit enter. In the DOS window, type ipcong and hit enter. On Mac OS X: Go to System Preferences > Network. Under the Show: drop-down, pick the network interface you are using, then click TCP/IP. Your IP address will be displayed. On Linux or UNIX: Open up a shell and type ifcong and hit enter. Transporter cant connect to my computer running SqueezeCenter. This could be due to a rewall being active on the computer. Macintosh: You will have to create a new exception in the built-in rewall to allow the Transporter to connect to SqueezeCenter. To do this: 1. Open System Preferences > Sharing, and click Firewall 2. Click New. to create a new rule 3. For Port Name: choose Other 4. For Port Number, Range or Series: type 3483, 9000 5. For UDP Port Number(s): specify 3483 (Mac OS 10.4 only) 6. For Description:, type SqueezeCenter 7. Click OK, and ensure that your new exception is checked on Windows: Windows XP Service Pack 2 turns on a built-in rewall by default. You will need to congure the rewall to allow access to SqueezeCenter. To do this: 1. Go to Control Panel 2. Click Security Center 3. Click Windows Firewall under Manage security settings for: 4. Click the Exceptions tab Add an exception for the following three ports by clicking Add Port.: Port number: 3483 (TCP) - Name: SqueezeCenter Control Port number: 3483 (UDP) - Name: SlimDiscovery Port Number: 9000 (TCP) - Name: SqueezeCenter Web

Troubleshooting

The following tips and answers to frequently asked questions will help resolve problems you may encounter. You can nd answers to additional questions on our web site at http://faq.slimdevices.com/. How do I get back to the Transporter Setup menu? Press and hold the LEFT arrow for ve seconds to bring Transporter back to the setup menu. How do I reset Transporter to factory default settings? Plug the power connector into Transporter while holding down the ADD button on the remote until you see Factory Reset followed by the Welcome To Transporter prompt. The player doesnt obtain an IP address. Check all your network connections, and make sure that the DHCP server is running. Try a different ethernet cable, even if the hub indicates a good link. Make sure you are using the latest rmware for your router or access point. Can I connect Transporter directly to my computer? You can connect Transporter directly to your computer (without a local network or hub) using an ethernet crossover cable. You can purchase a crossover cable at most retail computer stores. Congure your network adaptor and Transporter with static IP addresses so that they can nd each other. Visit http://faq.slimdevices.com and search for crossover for additional information. I cant enter my wireless password. If your network is using WEP encryption, youll need the hexadecimal WEP key for your wireless network. Hexadecimal keys are either 10 or 26 digits of 0-9 or the letters A to F. Some wireless access points or routers use text passwords for WEP. The conguration software for your wireless device can show the key in hexadecimal. Airport users can use Airport Admin Utilities. Use the Base Station menu to nd the Equivalent Network Password and use the value displayed. The web interface wont come up, even though Transporter is working. Try using the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:9000/. (Be sure to type the http:// part, as some versions of Internet Explorer require it when accessing a URL by IP address.)
Third-Party Firewalls: Instructions for conguring common rewall applications, including Norton Personal Firewall, Norton Internet Security, ZoneAlarm, McAfee Security Center, Trend-Micro PC-Cillin, can be found by searching the FAQ for the rewall name at: http://faq.slimdevices.com/. If your rewall allows you to open specic ports, the ports you need to open are: Port 3483 (UDP protocol) Port 3483 (TCP protocol) Port 9000 (TCP protocol) Transporter cant connect to my computer running SqueezeCenter and Ive already checked my rewall. VPN clients for connecting to corporate networks remotely can also cause this behavior. If you can nd rewall options in your VPN client. Some examples of VPN clients include Cisco VPN Client and Checkpoint VPN+Firewall-1. My computer is displaying an error that says that another device on my network is using the same IP address. If you have a Transporter and you have connected it using both ethernet and wireless, your Transporter may be set up for bridging and has created a loop in your network and you need to disconnect one of your network connections. Unplug the ethernet connection or go back to the setup screens to set up your Transporter to connect using ethernet. Im trying to use a mapped network drive like Y:\ for my Music Folder on my Windows computer and it does not work. Use a UNC-style path to specify your music library in the Server Settings page. Instead of X:\ path for a mounted volume, use \\SERVERNAME\path\ style addressing. This works for some servers where direct volume letter mapping does not. You may have to use the IP address of the machine sharing the network drive (for example: \\192.168.1.105\Files\Music\). Please note that in order for this to work, the network share must not require authentication (a username or password). How do I use multiple folders or disks with my music library? You can create links or shortcuts to other folders and place them in your specied Music Library Folder. The contents of the linked folders will then be part of your Music Library. More information about this can be found in the FAQ at http://faq.slimdevices.com/. I added some music to my library but its not showing up. If you add music to your music library, you may need to tell SqueezeCenter to rescan your music library. From the web interface, click Server Settings, and click Rescan. SqueezeCenter begins to examine your music folder, looking for new music. Depending on how much music you have, this could take several minutes. The new music will not appear in your music library on the SqueezeCenter until the rescan is complete.

Interference Information for 2.4 GHz Cordless Products: Your Logitech 2.4 GHz cordless product uses channel- and frequency-hopping technology to avoid interference with other cordless devices. Your product has been extensively tested with other 2.4 GHz cordless devices and RF(radio frequency) emitting devices (cordless phones, cordless headsets, wireless networks, cordless cameras, A/V senders/receivers, etc.). Most likely you will not experience any RF interference between your Logitech cordless product and the devices listed above. In some cases, however, it is possible that interference may occur. This interference could result in erratic behavior or a complete loss of signal in the other cordless devices. If you notice this behavior (or static, clicking, or humming) in the other cordless devices, there are two actions you can take to reduce or eliminate the interference. 1. Increase the distance between your Logitech cordless product (including the receiver) and the other cordless devices/receivers. 2. When using your Logitech cordless product, turn off the other cordless devices that are in close proximity.
