EN Network Setup

Basic Requirements

For the Wi-Fi IP Radio device to work properly under your existing network environment, your network must feature the following: You must have a router device with an enabled DHCP server function, so that it can automatically assign the IP address to your computer or another network device. If you already have a router device in your home, it will be easy to setup the Wi-Fi IP Radio device with your existing network environment. If you don't know what you have on your home network, the following FAQ will help you to troubleshoot before operating your Wi-Fi IP Radio device. The minimum streams to receive Radio IP are : 192 kB/s for a normal quality, 640 kB/s for an upper quality.
How does your computer or Notebook PC access the Internet?
The answer might be one of the following: Case I I have to plug an Ethernet cable to the computer, and.. 1. I have to execute a dial-up program from my computer to link to the ISP service, and I can then access the Internet. You need to purchase a (wireless) broadband router. 2. No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, but I set a fixed IP address in my computer. 3. No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, and I set a dynamic IP address in my computer. There is a router device in your home. You can configure the Wi-Fi IP Radio device in wired client mode to operate it with your home network. Case II I use wireless connection, and.. 1. I have to execute a dial-up program from my computer to link to the ISP service, and I can then access the Internet. There is no router device in your home. You need to purchase a new router device to upgrade your home network. 2. No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, but I set a fixed IP address in my computer. If the IP address is provided by your ISP supplier, there is probably no DHCP service in your home network. You need to buy a new router device. If the IP address is a virtual IP, such as 192.168.xxx.xxx, you should have a router device. Therefore, the WiFi IP Radio device will function with your home network. 3. No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, and I set the dynamic IP address in my computer. 3. There is a wireless router device in your home, the Wi-Fi IP Radio device will be able to operate with your home network. Moreover, the Wi-Fi IP Radio allows to play the music loaded in your PC, this one being connected to the same router.

Configuration as a Wireless Client
There are three network configuration modes available for the Wi-Fi IP Radio device: simple wireless client, wired client, or wireless access point (AP). The factory default mode is the client mode. If an Ethernet cable is available, the device will automatically select a suitable client mode to operate. Users can also manually change the network configuration settings via the Setup menu "Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network". If you have a 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, this mode is the most straightforward means of connecting the Wi-Fi IP Radio device to the existing network. Simply power the device, without connecting an Ethernet cable, and the device will automatically switch to the wireless client mode and detect all available wireless APs (Access Points). The first time the device is set to the wireless client mode, you need to determine which AP to connect to and enter the encryption key. Once the settings have been established, the device will remember the settings and attempt to connect to the designated AP when it is switched on. However, if you encounter any difficulty in connecting to the designated AP, the device will display the AP list for you to configure the device once again.

Configuration as a Wired Client
If there is no 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, and only a wired 802.3 network is available, the WiFi IP Radio device can connect to the wired network via an Ethernet cable. In this case, before powering the device, you need to plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector. The device will automatically switch to the wired client mode when it detects a link status via the Ethernet connection. (A) Using the device for the first time, without an Ethernet cable connection: If the radio is switched on after a reset, wireless client mode will be chosen, even if Ethernet cable has already been plugged in.
