Exstreamer User Manual Version 1.7
5.2 Connecting the Exstreamer to
your audio equipment
Connection to your audio equipment is possible by offering
two different audio output options.
For connection to an analog home stereo system, the
Exstreamer features a stereo RCA output ( B ) .
Simply connect the included stereo RCA cables ( d ) to
your audio input on your stereo.
5.3 Installing the Exstreamer to your
network
STEP 1
Plug the included network cable ( g ) into the network port
of the Exstreamer ( a ) and the other end into your hub or
switch. You can also use a crossover network cable (not
included) for a direct connection to your PC.
STEP 2
Plug the included earphone ( h ) into headphone out ( A )
and put it in your ear.
Get the pen and paper ready to write down the IP address
that will be announced in the step 5.
The announcement of the IP address is called
Sonic IP
.
STEP 3
Plug the power supply (b) into the
power jack ( E ) of the
Exstreamer and the other end into the power outlet of the
wall.
NOTE
When power cycling the Exstreamer we recommend to
disconnect/connect the power supply at the wall socket.
To prevent electrical overload of the device the power
supply should only be plugged into the wall socket with the
power supply connected to the Exstreamer first.
STEP 4
The Exstreamer will now search for a
DHCP
server
to get an IP address and announce this address over
the earphone.
Example: 192.168.0.12 (Voice: one nine two dot …)
Make sure you write this IP address down. If no
DHCP
server is found then our
IPzator
function will search the network for a free IP
address (this could take up to 5 minutes).
NOTE
Your Exstreamer is now ready to start working, we
recommend, however, that you set a
Static IP
address so
that the IP address will not change every time you power
up the Exstreamer.
To set a static IP see section 8.1.
