Scenario 1 – the wired network integration
If an Ethernet cable of a functioning network is plugged in at the time the device is switched on, follow the steps below
to set up the device quickly and easily:
1) If a wired connection is available, then "Wired Ethernet" is the correct choice.
Confirm with:
2) At this point, select the method by which the NOXON obtains its IP address
2)
in the network. Every device in the network must have such an identifier to
ensure that the IP packets arrive in the right place.
The address is normally generated automatically via the DHCP protocol. In rare
cases, however, static IP addresses are assigned—for more information, have
a word with your network administrator. See "
Sometimes required: a fixed
IP.
" on page 19!
3) At this point you will be asked whether your network uses a so-called proxy
server.
Most home networks do not. If you are not sure, and cannot be bothered to find
out for certain, just select "No"—and hope for the best! If the NOXON will NOT
access Internet radio stations or podcasts after setup is complete (but has no
problems playing the MP3 collection within your home network after installing
the included software), you may have to correct the configuration at this point.
Press the
button to call up the Configuration Wizard at any time.
For more information on existing proxy servers, turn to the next page.
4) Now, simply select "Apply Settings".
5) If you've done everything right, you can now access thousands of (Internet)
radio stations and podcasts from all over the world via your Internet connection,
and when you've installed the accompanying software, you can even listen to
music from your hard drive via the wireless network (see p. 44).
Congratulations.

If you are using a proxy server…
For users of proxy servers, the procedure is different as of Item 3.
Proxy servers are common in com-
panies and other major Internet users. Check the Internet settings of Internet Explorer on a computer con-
nected to the same network to see whether your network is using a proxy server.
2) Don't worry if we seem to be talking about the networked world in a language you don't understand yet—we've
tried to explain the basic elements of this admittedly quite complex subject in the appendix. See the FAQs and the
glossary, 67.
