Ethernet connection.
Configuring the radio to use either an Ethernet or a Wi-Fi connection
3. Selecting the 'Auto' option from the 'Wired / Wireless' menu will cause the radio to restart. It will then
attempt to establish an Ethernet connection to the network. If no Ethernet connection is available the radio
will attempt to establish a Wi-Fi connection to the network.
Having established a particular type of connection to the network, this connection will remain in use while
the radio is on.
The Network Configuration menu also allows you to choose whether or not the Internet radio displays a
warning message when the Wi-Fi signal strength is low. You can enable this feature by selecting 'Signal
Warning' and then selecting 'Yes'.
Entering the network name manually
If your network is configured with a hidden ESSID, then you will need to enter the network name manually.
1. In the Network Configuration menu, select 'Enter network name'. A string of characters will be displayed.
You can scroll through this list by turning the rotary control or by pressing the
Menu up
or
Menu down
buttons. The centre character will be entered into the network name each time that you press
Selec
t.
If you make an error, either use the
Back
button on the remote control, or give a long press on the rotary
control.
2. When the name has been entered, locate the END symbol in the string of characters and then press
Select
.
The radio will then try to connect to the named network.
Troubleshooting
If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your wireless network, some of these steps may help to resolve
the problem:
1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same
network.
2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. You can
configure a static IP address on the radio using the menu item ‘Configure -> Network Config -> Edit Config’,
and then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.
3. Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs
access to UDPand TCPports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070. The use of Windows Shares requires access to
UDP and TCP ports 135 - 139 and 445. Windows Media Player 11 will allocate a port number for UPnP media
sharing and will configure Microsoft's Windows built-in firewall appropriately. Other firewall software may
require configuration for UPnP or to allow particular IP addresses to have trusted access.
