Follow the instructions. Select “English” and click next (the icon in the
lower right) to select the home Wi-Fi router and enter the home Wi-Fi
password to complete the transaction.
Open your music sharing program and you may have to touch the
AIRPLAY symbol again and touch “WTA-xxxx”. You should now be able
to hear music. Turn the volume up and down as desired.
Change to another Wi-Fi router:
To change the WE1-DAC to another home Wi-Fi network
you can use the WE1-DAC app client “CONFIG” again. Or
with the WE1-DAC powered up, use a paper clip to press
the reset button on the WE1-DAC (for 2 seconds until the
indicator stays on). Repeat the “Connecting to Apple
Devices” on the previous page.
Windows 7/8 Devices:
You can use Windows Media Player 12 or iTunes to play music after
you install the WE1-DAC is installed in the same order as “Connecting
Apple Devices” on the previous page.
Android Devices:
Android devices may need DNLA apps or the APP Client
(downloadable from our website) to stream music.
There are
lots of choices free and paid DNLA apps. Generally the paid DNLA apps
are easier to install, use and allow you to do more things. The apps
are available on the Google Play store and other places.
We suggest the DNLA apps such as Foobar2000, Mediamonkey,
Allshare, WinDVD, BubbleUPnP, UPnPlay, etc.
To install the WESHARE App client for Android, use the browser on
your tablet, smart phone, on the address bar go to
http://www.knollsystems.com/we1-dacandroid.apk
download it, install it and open it up.
If there is a firmware upgrade available, using the
App Client click Menu>Config>Upgrade. This may
take 10 minutes or more to download and install.
If you do not have the App client and wish to upgrade the firmware:
1.
With WE1-DAC powered on, use a paper clip to reset the WE1-
DAC (shown above) until the indicator light stays on.
2.
On you smart device Settings>Wi-Fi> choose WTK-xxxx and
connect to it.
3.
Open your browser and on the address bar enter 192.168.8.1
which opens the WESHARE file, then go to the “Config” page
and choose “Upgrade”.
Connecting to Android Devices:
With the WE1-DAC powered up
(indicator is illuminated) press:
Settings>Wi-Fi then select “WTA-xxxx”
which is the WE1-DAC. xxxx can be any numbers or letters.
Next open the DNLA app already installed on your android device and
press:
Menu>Renderer then select “WTA-xxxx”.
Individual DNLA apps
may use terminology other than Renderer.
You can now select music already stored on the android device and
play it as desired. The volume control on your smartphone should
control the music volume (this is dependent on the DNLA app). With
some combinations of Android versions and DNLA apps, the Renderer
may have to be reselected every time the smart device goes out of
range and back in range of the WE1-DAC.
Streaming Music on Android Devices:
Music services, YouTube and more. In order to play streaming music
services the WE1-DAC needs to be wirelessly connected first (it cannot
directly connect to the internet) to your android device, then the
wireless router connected to the internet needs to be wirelessly
connected to your android device. The music will stream from the
internet wireless router, to your wireless device then on to the WE1-
DAC and your speakers.
With the WE1-DAC powered up, press:
Settings>Wi-Fi then select “WTA-xxxx”
which is the WE1-DAC. xxxx can be any numbers or letters.
You can now:
1.
Open the WESHARE APP client, select the music
service you want and start streaming music. You
