1 Installation
STEP 1
Plug a standard (straight) network cable (h, not included)
into the network port (F) of the Exstreamer and the
other end into your hub or switch. You can also use a
crossover network cable (not included) for a direct
connection to your PC.
STEP 2
Apply one of the three options:
i) Plug standard headphones or the earphone (f, not
included) into the headphone output (E) and listen.
ii) Plug your speakers into the outputs (K) using the
speaker screw terminal banana jacks (e) and listen.
iii) Plug an optical cable into the S/P DIF output (I) and
connect the cable to an input of your mixing console
or monitoring device and listen.
STEP 3
Connect the power supply (b) to the device (socket J)
and then to an electrical outlet with the appropriate cord.
STEP 4
i) The Exstreamer will now acquire an IP address and
announce it over the audio outputs (if no DHCP
server is available this can take up to 5 minutes).
ii) If you did not connect any audio outputs in step 2,
either see the next page for the ARP command
procedure, or use the “Barix Discovery Tool” Java
application (download the latest version from
www.barix.com) on your computer (Windows, Mac
or Linux) and click the “Get” button to find out which
IP address the device has obtained (see picture at the
bottom of the page). Make sure that the Ethernet
address (MAC) matches your device (see label on the
bottom of the device).
Now that you know the IP address proceed to the next
section “Network configuration by web browser”.
If you were not able to obtain the device’s current
IP address with the previous steps see section
"Troubleshooting".

Network configuration
by web browser
Most Barix applictaions require no configuration but use
DHCP to configure network settings dynamically.
If you need to use static (fixed) network settings follow
steps 1 to 3, otherwise continue from step 4.
STEP 1
Open your web browser.
STEP 2
Enter the IP address that was announced by the Exstreamer
and press Enter. Example: 192.168.0.12 Click on the
Configuration button, then on Advances Settings/Network.
STEP 3
In order to make the application work the following parameters
must be set (check with your network administrator):
• static IP address (the default «0.0.0.0» sets automatic
discovery: BootP, DHCP) and netmask
If you your devices are connected via routers also:
• Gateway IP address
Hit the «Apply» button to save all changes. The device will
reboot with the configured IP address.
STEP 4
To complete the application setup, download the firmware
documentation from www.barix.com. Download the
product manual for additional information about the hard-
ware installation, technical and mechanical details
as well as instructions on updating or changing the loaded
application firmware.
