Chapter 2: Getting Started

2.1 Hardware Installation

Please fasten the wireless antenna and the FM antenna to appropriate

antenna connectors at the rear panel of the device. If you prefer to use Ethernet for wired network connection, please plug in your Ethernet

cable to the LAN (RJ45) port.

Please plug in the DC power adapter to the outlet and the DC power

jack carefully.

To operate the device, you can use both the supplied remote control and also the keypad buttons.

2.2 Software Installation

AIRMM01F can work as a stand-alone device or as a media streamer

of a media server. As a stand-alone unit, you can use it to listen to

Internet radio, FM radio, and external USB storage/MP3 players. No

computer is needed.

For digital music les that are stored in your computer, you need to install streaming server software in the computer so that AIRMM01F

can request the streaming service from that server.

AIRMM01F is compliant to UPnP protocol. It works with media server software such as Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11), Microsoft Media Connect 2.0 (WMC2.0), and Musicmatch Jukebox.

Once you have the software installed on the computer, you can stream

your music collection to AIRMM01F.

Please nd Appendix A and B for instructions on how to connect AIRMM01F to your computer via WMP11, and WMC2.0.

Page 11

Chapter 3: Conguration

There are three modes of network conguration for AIRMM01F. It can be a wireless client, a wired client, or even a wireless access point (Wireless AP).

3.1 Congure as an Wireless Client

The factory default mode is the wireless client code. According to the availability of an Ethernet cable, the device will automatically select a

suitable client mode to operate. User can also manually change the setting of network conguration through the Setup menu “Setup/Advanced Setup/Congure Network”.

AIRMM01F will connect wirelessly if it detects an 802.11b/g wireless

network. With no Ethernet cable attached, you just need to power on the

device and AIRMM01F will automatically enter the wireless client mode.

To connect AIRMM01F to the wireless network for the rst time, you will

need to set the encryption key for a secured network. Once the setting is

nished, the device will remember the related settings and try to connect

to the designated AP when it is power on next time. However, if there is something trouble in connecting to the designated AP, the device will

show the AP list screen for you to congure again
