NETWORK
This menu enables you to set your Evo 75/Evo 150’s network settings,
scan again for a connection to another wireless network, or to manually
configure the network parameters. This is useful if you move your Evo 75/
Evo 150 to a new location for instance.
By default the Evo 75/Evo 150 will be set for Automatic wired/wireless
detection and automatic IP addressing (DHCP) which will work without
setup in most circumstances (for Wi-Fi you will need to enter your WEP/
WPA key if you have one).
In Auto mode the Evo 75/Evo 150 will look for a wired connection first and
then scan for wireless connections if it doesn’t find one. It will also try to
obtain an IP address automatically from your router/DHCP server.
If you wish to make changes to your setup the Evo 75/Evo 150 display the
following submenus.

WI-FI
This option scans all available Wi-Fi frequencies for wireless networks and
allows you to connect to them.
The Evo 75/Evo 150 can support dual Band 2.4/5gHz networks
A list of available networks will be presented. If a particular network
requires an encryption key, a symbol will be seen at the end of the
network name.
Select your local network using the Navigation/Select dial and press
button for enter.
The Evo 75/Evo 150 will then connect to the network using a saved key (if
you have previously set one) or present you with an alphanumeric entry
menu. Here you can enter the network key you set up when setting up your
wireless network.
Select each character in turn using the Select dial and then press
or
navigate to the
symbol and press Select dial to enter that key. If you
make a mistake, press to go back one character.
The Evo 75/Evo 150 can handle keys in WEP, WPA and WPA2 formats
(the choice of format is made by appropriate settings on your router) and
automatically generates the right format from your text according to the
router request.
ENTER THE NETWORK NAME
This option allows the Evo 75/Evo 150 to search for and connect to a
particular network name only.
Type your network name in using the alphanumeric entry screen.
If no matching network is found 'Network not found' will be displayed.
CURRENT CONFIG
This menu firstly displays the IP mode (static or dynamic). This will be
Auto/DHCP (i.e. dynamic, this is the default) or alternatively Static IP.
For either mode by turning the Navigation/Select dial the Evo 75/Evo 150
will scroll through the various current IP parameters, for instance the
ESSID of the current wireless network, Wired and Wireless MAC addresses,
current IP address, (Sub)Netmask, Gateway address etc.
EDIT CONFIG
This menu allows the selection of IP mode between static or dynamic
(Auto/DHCP). Auto/DHCP is recommended for most people in most
circumstances. Static IP requires quite a bit of knowledge about IP
networks, and is for advanced users only.
The default setting is thus Auto/DHCP, here the Evo 75/Evo 150 obtains
its IP address each time you switch in on by a process called DHCP which
means it is different each time it is acquired. This process is completely
automatic and much simpler than implementing Static IP.
However sometimes it is useful (especially in large networks) to know the
exact IP address of each device, this can only be done by using static IP.
When using Static IP you will also need to enter the network mask you
wish to use and the addresses of your gateway and DNS service, note there
is no way for Cambridge Audio to know what these are in your network.
Only select static IP if you know exactly what you are doing!
To set static IP, select the 'Settings > Network > Edit Config' menu.
The Evo 75/Evo 150 will now display 'Auto (DHCP)? YES/NO'. Turn the Evo
75/Evo 150’s rotary dial to select 'NO' and then press SELECT.
You will now be able to enter the fixed IP address you wish to give your Evo
75/Evo 150 by using the rotary dial to select the desired numbers followed
by pressing Navigation/Select dial to end inputting the address.
The Evo 75/Evo 150 will now prompt you to enter the required network
mask for the network. You will be able to enter this in the same way as
before for entering the IP address.
You will now need to enter the default gateway’s IP address used by the Evo
75/Evo 150 on the network.
Finally, you will need to enter the DNS IP address for the Evo 75/Evo 150.
On some networks, you may need to enter your ISP’s DNS IP address, which
should be available on your ISP’s support page on their website.
After entering the above information, the Evo 75/Evo 150 will now try
to connect to your network. If you wish to use DHCP again simply select
'Settings > Network > Edit Config' and then set the 'Auto (DHCP)? YES/NO'
to 'YES'.
WI-FI STRENGTH
Displays the strength of the received Wi-Fi Signal.
Note:
If Wi-Fi has been turned off (Ethernet mode only) the signal strength
will show as 0%.
WI-FI REGION
Different parts of the world use slightly different frequencies for Wi-Fi. For
best performance you should set the Evo 75/Evo 150 to the region you live
in, the current options are US, Spain, Europe (i.e. other than Spain), Japan.
WIRED/WI-FI CONNECTION
It is possible to connect your Evo 75/Evo 150 to your network via an
available Ethernet connection (RJ45) or via a Wi-Fi router. By default the
unit is in AUTO mode, each time you turn the unit it looks for the presence
of a wired connection, and tries to use this, if none is present or it cannot
connect it then tries to use the wireless connection and so on. In Auto
mode once the Evo 75/Evo 150 has established a certain type of connection
to the network, then this type of connection will remain in use while the
Evo 75/Evo 150 is on.
You can alternatively configure the Evo 75/Evo 150 to permanently only
use the wired or wireless connection from the Evo 75/Evo 150’s 'Network'
menu, select 'Wired/Wireless'. This menu will present you with three
options: 'Auto', 'Wired Only' and 'Wireless Only'.
Selecting 'Wired Only' will cause the Evo 75/Evo 150 to reboot and then only
use its Ethernet connection to communicate with the network. Selecting
the 'Wireless Only' will cause the Evo 75/Evo 150 to reboot and only use
its Wi-Fi connection. Selecting the 'Auto' option means the Evo 75/Evo 150
will try both and settle on the one it can make work as described above.
