PlayPoint DM Configuration
You can configure the PlayPoint DM using the touch-screen or with a Web browser from a mobile
device, PC or Mac. Using the touch screen is simpler. Some advanced settings are available only with the
Web user interface. We will introduce first the PlayPoint DM Touch-Screen Interface and then the Web
User Interface. The screens below are explained in the order they appear on the PlayPoint DM display.
Device Information Screen
Navigating with the
Down
button on the touch screen you will see the model and serial numbers of the
PlayPoint DM.
Zero-Configuration Networking
If you use an Ethernet cable connection, no configuration is required. A Gigabit Ethernet network is
required for seamless playback at high sampling rates. To obtain an IP address, DHCP must be enabled
on your router. Manual network configuration is available via the Web User Interface.
Usually you don't need to use the IP address to access the PlayPoint DM. Mac computers, mobile
phones and tablets will discover automatically your exaSound PlayPoint DM. By default it will appear on
your home network
as exaSound-PP1.local
. If your Windows computer is unable to see the PlayPoint
DM, you need to install
Apple Bonjour
or compatible zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) service.
On Linux computers you need to install
Avahi
.
Use the
Down
navigation button on the right side of the touch screen to navigate to the
Select Network
screen. When the network cable is connected the screen should look like this:
Before using the wireless connection you need to complete the WPS (Wireless Protected Setup)
procedure. Alternatively you can configure manually the wireless network via the Web User Interface.
