For FM reception, the 

0dB

 panel marking represents ±75kHz 

carrier  deviation.    A  400Hz  monaural  test  tone  would  take  

the meter to exactly 

0dB

.  Receiver de-emphasis must neces-

sarily be factored into the reading at higher frequencies, 

and of course the 19kHz pilot consumes the top 1dB of ste-

reo broadcast modulation.  Aggressively-processed program 

audio should consistently peak the bargraphs to –1dB or so. 
When HD Radio broadcasts are being received, 0dB corre-

sponds to the recommended –3dBFS absolute limit for pro-

gram peak excursions. 

Networking Mode and IP Address 

(Menu Screen 6)

 

The IP networking mode and address are set on this Menu 

Screen.  Push the knob and 

Mode:

 will blink.  Select either 

DHCP

 or 

Static IP

 as dictated by your network configura-

tion.   When 

DHCP

 is se-

lected, the IP address is 

automatically  assigned 

by the router/server and 

cannot be changed man-

ually. 
 With 

Mode: Static IP

  selected,  push  the  knob  again  to  

enter a fixed IP address manually.  The first address group 

will begin to blink.  Turn the knob to dial-in the required 

number.     Continue   to  

press the knob and dial-

in numbers until all four 

IP  address  fields  are 

filled.  Push  the  knob  a  

final time to commit all 

selections  to  memory 

and to release the menu. 

HTTP Port

 (Menu Screen 7)

 

The default IP port assignment is commonly-used Port 80, 

which will show on the second line of Menu Screen 7. 
To change this assign-

ment,  push  the  knob  to  

enter  the  setup  field.  

Leading zeroes will dis-

play and each digit must 

be  set  independently.  

— 14 — 

Push the knob repeatedly to reach the digit you need to re-

set, starting on the left and proceeding to the far-right units 

digit.  When all digits are set, press the knob one final time 

to commit the selection to memory. 

Gateway, Subnet Mask, Primary DNS

 (Menu Screens 8, 9, 10)

 

It’s really not within the scope of this manual to cover the 

intricacies of network configuration.  Often an IT profes-

sional will need to get involved in this.  These three screens 

relate  to  a  static  IP  address  and  are  available  only  when  

Mode: Static IP

 is selected under Menu Screen 6.  The 

Gateway:

Subnet Mask:

 and 

Primary DNS:

 are entered 

manually in exactly the same manner as Static IP addressing 

was described under Menu Screen 6. 

MAC Address

 (Menu Screen 11)

 

The MAC (Media Access Control) address of any piece of 

hardware with IP connectivity is a fixed value unique to that 

particular piece of gear.  Menu Screen 11 displays the 

MAC 

Address:

 of your specific SiteStreamer™ and cannot be 

changed. 

Headphone Monitoring

 (Menu Screen 12)

 

A front-panel 

PHONES

  jack offers a convenient monitoring 

point for SiteStreamer™ setup and casual listening.  When a 

pair of headphones is plugged into the front-panel jack, the 

LCD screen automatically goes to Menu Screen 12.  

Head-

phone Vol

 will begin blinking and the panel knob may be 

adjusted for a comfortable listening level. 
The LCD shows an arbitrary numerical value and a bargraph 

representation of the headphone volume.  Once volume is 

set, push the knob to save the setting to memory and to re-

turn the screen to the last menu on display.
