List of devices tested and working with RetailPlayer
TP-Link TL-WN722N
Realtek RTL8188EUS
DNS, SonicIP® Volume
Completing the network configuration of the RetailPlayer device are the below settings:
DNS Auto
Automatic Domain Name System resolution. If set in Auto the DHCP server will provide the address of a DNS
server to contact for the IP name resolution process.
DNS Manual
If DNS is set to Manual the device expects the Primary and Alternative DNS server fields to be filled with the
related information. When Ethernet IP method is set to Static, DNS will always be set Manual and it is
mandatory to provide the address information
Primary DNS and Alternative DNS
This address is for the Domain Name Server. It tells the RetailPlayer which DNS server to contact to resolve
domain names into IP addresses. I.e the address of an internet radio like
http://barix.streamguys.net/Barix_hi
has to be translated into an IP address, this is the job of the DNS server. The alternative DNS is a backup
resolution in case the primary DNS server is down. The alternative DNS is not a mandatory field. If you are not
sure about the DNS Server address to be used, contact your network administrator.
SonicIP® Volume
Sets the volume of the Sonic IP® announcement.
Proxy Configuration
Available from FW version 6.2.0. It allows the RetailPlayer to become "Proxy" aware so that the RetailPlayer can be deployed in those
enterprises where network connections within the LAN must go through a Proxy.
Proxy type supported: HTTP
