Configuring a FireBall Server
Every FireBall capable of server functions is automatically enabled to server MP3 audio
streams whenever it is plugged in and properly configured for your network.
It is recommended that you give each of your FireBall servers a unique name that describes
it’s location using the
FireBall Name screen which can be accessed from Setup/Internet
Configuration/FireBall Name . Names like “Living Room”, “Home Theater”, “My Music Server”
are all good examples.
Configuring a FireBall Client
Networking
Each FireBall client must be on the same network as the server. This document will assume
that you have properly connected your FireBall client to the same network as your FireBall
server.
Please refer to the HomeNetworkingPrimer support document on the Escient web site for
more information about home networking.
Server Selection
FireBall clients will automatically select the first server it sees on the network and connect to it
upon startup.
If you have more than one server on your network, you can manually select a different server
using the
Server Connection screen which can be accessed from Setup/Internet
Configuration/Server Connection .
