15.1.2 Wireless network connection (WLAN)
Depending on the network, there are a number of ways to
connect to it.
Networks that support connection via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup) are identified in the list with the prefix "[
WPS...
]".
Other connections are either open networks or connections
protected with a PSK, or Pre-Shared-Key.
WPS / PSK / open network connection
WPS allows simple and nevertheless protected connection
of the radio to the network. Two options are available for
this purpose:
The connection can be set up by means of PBC, or Push-
Button Configuration, or by the PIN procedure, in which
the web interface of your router prompts you to enter a
randomly generated
sequence of numbers.
WPS setup
•
Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix
"[
WPS...
]")
•
In the WPS menu, choose the
"Push button"
option
and confirm your selection by pressing [
NAVIGATE/
ENTER
].
•
Press the WPS button on your router or current access
point. This can often be done using the web interface,
as well.
•
Consult the operating instructions of your router or
access point for details.
•
Once the process has been started on the router or
access point, the radio should be able to find and
connect to the network.
•
Alternatively, PBC setup can be initiated from the radio's
Internet settings:
•
Press [ ] (4) to go to the system settings.
•
Use [
NAVIGATE/ENTER
] (9) to navigate to the "Network
& Audio" menu item.
•
Confirm the selection by pressing [
NAVIGATE/ENTER
].
•
Use [
NAVIGATE/ENTER
] (9) to navigate to the "Internet
settings" menu item.
•
Confirm the selection by pressing [
NAVIGATE/ENTER
].
•
Use [
NAVIGATE/ENTER
] to navigate to the "WPS setup"
menu item.
PIN setup
•
Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix
"[
WPS...
]")
•
In the WPS menu, choose the PIN option and confirm
your selection by pressing [
NAVIGATE/ENTER
].
•
The radio generates an 8-digit code, which must be
entered into the web or user interface of your router or
access point.
•
Consult the corresponding handbook for details on
configuring the router or access point.
Skip WPS / Pre-Shared Key (PSK) configuration
•
Choose the item
"Skip WPS"
to proceed to key entry.
•
On networks that do not support WPS, you will go
directly to key entry.
•
In the input screen, enter the whole key and then confirm
with the
OK
button.
•
If the key was entered correctly, the radio connects to
the access point and establishes the Internet/network
connection.
Note
•
Often the Pre-Shared Key is printed on the back of the
router or access point.
•
When entering the key, take notice of capitalisation.
