ONFIGURATION
IMPORTANT
NOTES:
The Squeezebox is configured using its display based menu system and its remote control.
ELAN strongly recommends using the hard-wired Ethernet connection to the Squeezebox instead of a
wireless connection.
Only configure one Squeezebox at a time. If you have multiple Squeezebox’s in an installation,
disconnect power to all but one, then configure that one. Once configuration of the first is complete,
power up the second, complete the second, and so forth.
