Configuring a FireBall Server
Every FireBall capable of server functions is automatically enabled to serve MP3 and FLAC
audio 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
SERVER SETTINGS screen which can be accessed from
Setup/Network /Server Settings . Names like “LivingRoom”, “HomeTheater”,
“MyMusicServer” are all good examples.
Do not use spaces in the FireBall Server Name.
FireBall Server Name screen
Optionally, you can assign a password for web access to the FireBall. This password is
independent from the Parental Controls password and is used to limit access to FireBall’s web
server from any standard web browser on your network. If a password is entered here, the
user will be asked to enter it when connecting to the FireBall from their PC. This password is
provided to protect access to your FireBall through the standard HTTP port 80 on your subnet.
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.
