Step 2: Adding AudioReQuests to ARQLink 

Each individual ARQ that you add must be configured to connect to ARQLink, which is done 

inside the ARQ Web Server settings page or on the TV Interface under Menu 

 

NetSync 

 

ARQLink. 

 

1.

 

Click on Settings on each ARQ’s Web Server. 

2.

 

The domain/password settings under the ARQLink Settings group should be set to 
match what you configured during step 1. 

3.

 

If the AudioReQuest is a Zone or a Pro as a Zone, then under NetSync Client Settings, 
chose to “NetSync Master via” ARQLink instead of IP Address (below). 

4.

 

If you want each AudioReQuest to be controlled, accessed and Netsync over the 
Internet, then each device needs its port forwarded by the router. See Section 10.1 for 
details. 

 

Step 3: Logging onto ARQLink 

1.

 

Go to 

www.arqlink.com

 and click on the Login button off of the main page and use 

your domain and password.  

2.

 

After you login to ARQLink, the main page will be displayed (Figure 5). The main page 
will display all of your ARQ PRO & Zone units, as well as all ARQLink enabled devices. 

Each column listed will display different properties for each unit connected to ARQLink. 

 

Name – The name of your AudioReQuest unit. 

Internet IP – The IP address accessible via the Internet. 
Private IP – The IP address given to your AudioReQuest unit behind a router/firewall for a  

local network. 
Description – This is defined in the Edit Menu under “Actions.” 

Location – This is also defined in the Edit Menu under “Actions.” 
NetSync Host – This displays the corresponding NetSync Host for a particular unit. 

Last NetSync – This was the last time the AudioRequest unit sent updated information to 
ARQLink. 
Actions – These are the functions you can perform with ARQLink. 

1.

 

Details – View statistics about your AudioReQuest units. 

2.

 

Edit – Edit description, location, IP information, and NetSync Host. 

3.

 

Settings – Displays the settings on the AudioReQuest Web Server. 

4.

 

Connect – Gives you access to the AudioReQuest Web Server. 

 

Step 4: Modify your listing 

Under the “Actions” column on the main page, select the Edit link. Figure 6 is the page that 
will be displayed to edit your settings. When your unit is recognized by ARQLink, the IP 
addresses will be filled in automatically. We give you the option to specify a description, 

location, and ARQLink NetSync Host.  

 

Step 5: Setting Netsync Master to Zone units 

Under the edit screen on the bottom there is a option of ARQLink Netsync Host Name, which 

will allow you to set the master for any zone on your ARQLink account. For each zone, 
choose the Master AudioReQuest unit where you add new music and make edits. 

 

 
Step 6: Viewing Statistics 

ARQLink allows you to view statistical information about your AudioReQuest Units. To view 
this information, select Details in the “Actions” menu column. 

 

Step 7: ARQ Unit Settings
