ü
Make sure your PC is powered on.
ü
If you’re using DHCP, make sure that only one computer is configured as a DHCP server. If
you are using a "smart" hub that acts as a DHCP server, make sure that none of the host
computers are configured as DHCP servers.
ü
If you’re using Static IP, check that AudioTron’s IP address settings don’t conflict with
another PC or another AudioTron on the network. See the Winipcfg section in the “Network
Basics” Appendix for details.
ü
If your PC is running “firewall” software, it should be configured to pass AudioTron’s IP
address. Check the software manufacturer’s instructions on how to set this.
ü
If you’re using a LinkSys Etherfast Cable/DSL router, check that the firmware is version 1.37
or higher. Firmware versions lower than 1.37 may have a problem providing DHCP and IP
Address access to AudioTron if the Linksys is used as a hub for your network.
If you’re using an HPNA network…
ü
Make sure AudioTron is connected to the same phone line as your HPNA network. Try
hooking up two phones to the jacks you’re using for AudioTron and an HPNA-connected PC.
If you can’t talk on the two phones using the same jacks and cables, then the HPNA network
won’t be able to communicate between the PC and AudioTron.
ü
If you have DSL service, make sure the DSL line filter is not between AudioTron or your PC’s
HPNA interface or it could affect the HPNA network signals and cause performance problems.
ü
Do not connect a telephone line filter between AudioTron’s HPNA jack and the phone jack.
Transient protection is built into the AudioTron phone jack, so an external filter is not
necessary.
Why do some song titles come up twice in the display?
ü
Two songs with different file names but the same Title tag information will be displayed as the
same song twice (because the tag information for “Title” is the same.)
ü
A song with the same title saved in different formats (e.g. WMA, MP3 or WAV) will display
in all of the formats as different songs.
ü
If, after checking your song library to confirm there’s only one version of the song, try re-
setting AudioTron with the rear-panel power switch. This will reset the internal memory and
cause it to re-scan the network for songs.
ü
Nested shares can also cause double-occurrences. For instance, if songs are stored in C:\My
Documents\My Music and both the C: drive and \My Music are set as shared directories, the
music files in \My Music might be displayed twice.
Why doesn’t AudioTron work with my Router/Hub?
Some router/hubs need a firmware update to operate properly with AudioTron:
§
SMC Hub:
Version 1.8x firmware works with AudioTron using Static IP addressing. It works
intermittently as a DHCP server—sometimes AudioTron finds a host but no host name and it
often cannot find files on shared PCs. The firmware update to 1.90 seems to correct the DHCP
server and file share problems and can be found on the SMC web site: www.smc.com.
§
Linksys 4 Port Router/Hub:
Version 1.35 firmware works with AudioTron using Static IP
addressing and intermittently as a DHCP server. Sometimes it finds a host but no host name and
it rarely can find files on shared PCs. The firmware update to v1.37 corrects this and is available
on the Linksys website www.Linksys.com.
