The Settings page allows you to modify many
of the settings found in the Menu setting
portion of the AudioReQuest user interface,
including Encoding Options, TV Mode, Genre
mode, NetSync Settings, ARQLink settings.
Some additional settings include changing the CD Lookup server (currently set to
freedb.org) and the different port addresses. Changing these port addresses is important if
you have multiple devices you want to share over the Internet, each of which require a
unique port to be forwarded by the router. Also, many ISPs block port 80 to prevent Web
Servers. It is recommended to change the web port to a free port over 100 in these
situations. Note: If you change the web port, you must enter the port number whenever
you enter the address on a Web Server, i.e. http://192.168.1.101:101. If you forget the
port, you can restore the ports to default on the AudioReQuest User Interface by going to
MENU (F3)
→
Settings
→
Advanced
→
Restore Ports to Default Values.
Under the Settings tab can customize the look and feel of the Web Server, add your own
logo, secure the Web Server by creating a password, and show features such as Transport
controls. Click on the “Submit” button on the bottom of the page to save any changes you
make. Some changes , indicated with an * will require a reboot of the AudioReQuest before
the become effective.

On the Web Server, you can browse the music collection by Artist, Album, Songs, Genre,
and Playlists. You can also search for specific music. When you click on the Artists link, you
will see a list of artists, similar to below. Clicking on a specific Artist link will show all the
albums by that artist. In turn, clicking on the album would show the songs of that album,
and any AlbumArt for that album.
In addition, you can also play either a single selection or multiple selections immediately on
the AudioReQuest or stream them to your computer.
