1. Wireless Local Area Network
The InFusion
™
uses 802.11b WiFi to access the
internet, which means that a WiFi network is
necessary for streaming internet radio.
Hotspots consist of at least one wireless access
point. This can be simply a wireless switch
connected to an existing network, or an all-in-one
wireless-router-hub, as long 802.11b wireless
networking is enabled.
2. Wireless
confi guration
There are many different brands of wireless
access points, all of which will have some way
to confi gure settings such as WiFi encryption,
channel, network ID and so on.
For home networks where the Wireless access
point confi guration is accessible, ensure only WEP
encryption is used (if any,) and that if MAC fi ltering
is used, that the InFusion
™
’ MAC is registered (see
‘Information’ screen under ‘InFusion
™
Setup’ for the
MAC address.)
3. Scanning for Available Networks
To have the InFusion
™
scan for available networks,
follow the steps in the ‘iRadio Mode’ section. A list
of available networks will appear, including those
with hidden SSIDs which may not be available.
4. Profi le Confi guration
From the ‘Available Networks’ screen (in
‘iRadio Mode’) choose ‘edit’ with the desired
network SSID highlighted to display the profi le
confi guration. Most of the fi elds will be pre-
populated with the current networks settings.
• Encryption
At the time of this publication, the InFusion
™
supported WEP encryption only. If the current
Network uses WEP, it will be shown as enabled,
with a WEP key fi eld displayed. Enter the WEP
key here.
• iPass
If the Hotspot uses iPass to allow users
internet access, it will need to be enabled in the
Profi le confi guration. If iPass has not yet been
confi gured, the unit will ask for a user name
and Password.
• IP
allocation
There are two ways the InFusion
™
can have its
IP address assigned; automatically by a DHCP
server or manually by the user. Use automatic
allocation unless otherwise preferred (for the
more tech savvy users.)
• DNS
allocation
As with IP allocation, the DNS can either be
assigned by a server automatically or manually
by the user. Only set manually if necessary.
