3.3 Internet radio portal registration 

Argon Radio3i uses the Frontier Silicon Internet radio portal website that allows you to organise your 
favourite’s lists and also listen to Internet radio on a computer. 

 

 

To register your Radio3i with the portal, switch to Internet 
radio mode as described in Section 4, and then obtain your 
radio’s unique portal access code by selecting 
  Menu  > 

Station list > Help > Get access code >

.

 

Write down the access code.  

 

 

 

Note:         Do not confuse the portal access code with the Radio ID (from  Menu  > System settings > Info.) 

                 Visit the portal website at                 If this is your first visit to the portal, register for a new account, entering the following information: 

 

access code, 

 

your e-mail address, 

 

password, 

 

radio model (Argon Radio3i). 

If you already have an account and wish to add an additional radio, log in to your account and select 

My 

preferences

 > 

Add another Wi-Fi radio

Once your radio is registered with the portal, you can immediately use the Internet radio  
favourites and added stations features. 

3.4 Setting up a music server 

In order for Radio3i to play music files from a computer, the computer must be set up to share files or 
media. 

UPnP media sharing

 allows devices like Radio3i to play music from a shared media library, navigating 

through tag menus such as 

Artist

Album

 or 

Genre

. If you are running a suitable server system such as a 

PC with Windows Media Player 10 or later (WMP), and your music library is well-tagged, then it is 
recommended to use media sharing. Only the UPnP server needs to be set up. 

 

Notice: iTunes does not currently work as a UPnP media server, but there are add-ons available  
to work with an iTunes library.
