6.1.2 PC : Setting up a new user account (Windows XP)
The radio may require you to setup a user account on each PC that you wish to browse. By default
most PCs have at least one user account associated with it. The user name and password (optional)
needs to be the same on each PC as the Internet radio only stores one user name and one password.
For windows XP this can be set up as follows:
1. From the
‘’Start’’
menu, select
‘’Control Panel’’
->
‘’User accounts’’
2. From this screen left click
‘‘Add …’’
, and enter the new user name and the
Domain/Workgroup setting noted above. Select the type of user (restricted) and then select
‘’Finish’’
.
3. Select the user just created, and select
‘‘Reset Password …’’
and enter a password for this
user.
4. Note the User Name and Password.
Note for Windows VISTA : Users have to turn on the ‘’Guest account’’ via ‘’Manage user accounts’’
in the ‘’Control Panel’’ in VISTA, then add access to either ‘’Everyone’’ or ‘‘Guest’’ on the shared drive.
They could create a new account for the internet radio, with a password, if they are concerned about
security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the WiFi radio will connect to it from its
factory default settings.
6.1.3 PC: Configuring a shared drive
From the
‘’Start’’
menu select
‘’My Computer’’
and navigate to the directory you wish to share. Right
click on the directory and select
‘’Sharing and Security’’.
Configure the shared drive as read only, and
ensure that the User Name created above has read access to the share.
6.1.4 WiFi Radio : Storing the username and password
Before the radio can stream music from a PC, you need to ensure you have shared folder available
on the PC, and set up the radio so that it knows the username and password (if one has been set) for
the shared folder on the PC. This can be set up using the
‘’PC Settings’’
menu (
‘’System Settings’’
>
‘’Internet setup’’
>
‘’PC settings’’
). (Figure 9)
