The following screen is shown now:
In this screen you can configure the IP address of the product. We advise you when using an external audio server
to assign the IP address automatically by dhcp.
When you want to use the built-in icecast server we advise you to use a fixed IP address. Please choose an address
which is within the address range of the DHCP server of the router! Please note you need to change some settings
in the ADSL router also in this case.
Configuring the ADSL router
The router functionality which is in your ADSL modem, protects your computer (and this product) against unwanted
visitors from the internet. The standard settings ensure that your computer is not accessible from outside (through
your ADSL line).
However, in some cases it is required that people (or computers) from outside get access to a part of the product.
For example when they want to listen to your streams. In this case a small door needs to be opened in the router.
Most of the ADSL routers fortunately have this possibility. The configuration of an ADSL router for this purpose will
be described here based on an Edimax router.
