Registration
Registering your FireBall is accomplished automatically when you go through the Quick Start
process described in the User’s Manual. Registration includes properly configuring your
FireBall for Internet access and then connecting to the Escient servers to register your serial
number and download the latest Internet Radio stations.
If you experience difficulty completing the registration process in QuickStart, follow these
guidelines to make sure you have all of the required information and that you can make the
proper connection to your Internet Service Provider and the Escient Servers.
Testing the Ethernet Connection
1. Check the Ethernet Network Link - The green LED next to the FireBall’s back panel
Ethernet jack should be on when properly connected to an Ethernet network.
2. Press the Setup button on the remote.
3. Select the Network Menu.
4. Select Ethernet Settings
5. Select the “test connection” button. This will start the Ethernet Connection test which
will test the following network settings:
a. The ethernet link to your router or hub.
b. The DHCP addressing if you selected Dynamic IP Addressing.
c. The connection to your default Gateway (your route to the Internet).
d. The connection between your router and the Escient server.
If any of these tests fail, check your ethernet wiring with the proper test equipment, make sure
your router is properly configured as a DHCP router, and that you can access the internet
using the same network connection using a PC.
Check with your ISP or network administrator if you need assistance determining whether or
not you should use DHCP IP addressing. If you are going to use a static IP address, it must be
in the proper range assigned to your subnet. Again, check with your ISP or network
administrator before using a static IP address.
