FireBall™ SEi Series User
’s Manual
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 Quick Start, 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 A BROADBAND 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. From the Ethernet Connection Quick Start screen, select the “perform test” button. This will start
the Ethernet Connection test which will test your network settings and FireBall’s ability to properly
reach the Internet and the Escient servers for registration, disc recognition, and software updates.
If any of the 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.
