Internet radio
Internet radio is an audio service transmitted via the internet. Listeners are provided with a
permanent audio stream which cannot normally be paused, time-shifted or repeated. This is a
radio broadcast which is not transmitted via radio waves.
IP Address
In the same way as the postman needs a street and house number in order to deliver post, the
target devices must be assigned addresses in data communication in order for the data to be
delivered to the right device. On the internet and in conventional computer networks, this is the
IP address. As a user, you do not normally need to think about IP addresses, as the applications
and devices you use do this for themselves.
LAN
Abbreviation for “Local Area Network”. The LAN is a traditional cabled network used in
companies and now in the home. It consists of multiple computers and other devices which are
connected with one another and can communicate and exchange data with one another. The
LAN is often connected to the internet.
Multiroom
A function whereby multiple compatible devices can be grouped on the wireless network and
centrally controlled (e.g. via a smartphone app). For example, you can install one speaker per
room, group them and then use your smartphone or tablet to control them centrally. For
instance, if you select a radio station, it will be played on all grouped speakers.
Network
A series of data processing devices which are connected together and can communicate with
one another. This connection can be via cable (
LAN
) or via wireless (
WiFi
).
Pairing
One-off synchronisation between two
Bluetooth
devices to “get to know one another”. After
two devices have been successfully paired once, the wireless connection between them is
automatically restored when the two devices are switched on and within range at a later date.
Podcast
Digital media file (audio or video) which is broadcast via the internet or another network on
request. This is not a live stream.
Repeater
A repeater extends the range of a wireless network. This lets you include devices originally
located outside the WiFi range into the wireless network via the repeater.
Router
The router is the link between a local network (
LAN
) or wireless network (
WiFi
) and the internet.
Many routers incorporate a
hub
or
switch
to allow direct access to the internet from various
computers to form a small home network.
Smart-Audio
An app based on the UNDOK standard which allows Multiroom systems to be controlled by a
smartphone or tablet.
