series of numbers and letters. If the passphrase/access key
is not known, check on the router settings page or with the
person who initially set up the router.
Note:
If a router offers multiple security configurations, NDX
will automatically offer only the most secure one.
Note:
If WEP security is used the router should be set to
“auto” or “open” authentication.
If the selected network is insecure
and requires no passphrase
or access key to join, NDX
will display an alert message.
Pressing the handset
ok/list
key
will immediately connect NDX
to the network and display a
confirmation screen.
Note:
Wireless connection difficulties can sometimes be
resolved by changing the wireless connection channel in
the router settings.

Connection
If
DHCP
is de-selected in the
Network Settings menu, five
further parameters will be
displayed.

These settings enable NDX to connect to a network using a
fixed IP address. On selecting each one in turn, numerical
entry screens will be displayed that require completion
with the appropriate network IP address settings. Consult
your network router’s user documentation for help with
specifying fixed IP address settings.

4.5.1 Wireless Network
Connection Set Up
If the
Wireless
parameter is
selected in the Network Settings
menu the Select Network menu
will display a list of the available
networks. An option not to use a wireless connection is
also provided. Use the handset
up
(
5
) or
down
(
6
) keys
to scroll through the list and the
ok/list
key to select a
network.
Note:
NDX is compatible with most commonly used Wi-Fi
standards. Routers that support 802.11b and 802.11g
will work, however those with 802.11g compatibility are
recommended for best results.
Note:
As with any wireless network hardware, NDX
connection reliability will be affected by both network
router performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise
the possibility of poor connection reliability, NDX should be
connected to network audio sources by no more than one
wireless “leg”. Other “legs” necessary between NDX and
the network audio sources should be wired.
Note:
NDX cannot connect to a “hidden” wireless network.
If the selected network is secure
and requires a passphrase or
access key to join, NDX will
display an alert message. Pressing
the handset
ok/list
key will then
open a text entry screen for entry
of the passphrase or access key.
Use the handset
numeric/text
keys to enter the passphrase or
access key taking care to ensure
that the letter case is correct.
Press the handset
ok/list
key
when text entry is complete. In
the illustration the passphrase is
“flatfish”.
If the network is successfully
joined NDX will display a
confirmation screen.
If an incorrect passphrase or
access key is entered NDX will
display an alert message.
Note:
As a security measure, a
router may also require the NDX’s
MAC address to be entered before allowing it to join the
wireless network. This type of security feature is known as
‘MAC address filtering’. The NDX MAC address is shown in
the ‘Factory settings > System Status’ page.
Note:
The wireless passphrase/access key is created when
the wireless router is first set up and could be a word or a
