Chapter 2: Getting Started

2.1 Hardware Installation

Please make sure you already have a wired/wireless router setup

before setting up AIRMM02F.

Step 1. Power on:

Plug in the power adapter and press the power switch to power on

AIRMM02F

Step 2. Connect to Wi-Fi Router from AP lists

If you have a router with Wi-Fi function, AIRMM02F will automatically
nd the available AP lists for you to select. (See Chapter 3.1 to do the
detailed setup)

Step 3. Connect to wired Router

If you want to connect to your router (AP) by a RJ45 cable, you can go
to Setup / advance setting / congure network to wired client/ AP mode.
(See Chapter 3.2 to do the detailed setup)

2.2 Software Installation

AIRMM02F 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 AIRMM02F

can request the streaming service from that server.

AIRMM02F 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
AIRMM02F to your computer via WMP11, and WMC2.0.

Chapter 3: Conguration

There are three modes of network conguration for AIRMM02F. 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 client Mode. 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”.

If there is an existing 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, this will

be simplest mode to connect AIRMM02F to the existence network.

User just have to power on the device, with no Ethernet cable plugged
in, the device will automatically go into the wireless client mode and

look for all available wireless APs (Access Points). To connect for the
rst time, you will need to select the AP to connect and set the correct
encryption key. Once the setting is nished, the device will save the

related settings and connect to the designated AP when it is power on.
However, if there is problem connecting to the designated AP, the device

will show the AP list screen for user to congure again.

3.2 Congure as a Wired Client

If there is no 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, and only wired

802.3 network is available, AIRMM02F can also connect to the wired

network through an Ethernet cable.

In this situation, prior to power on the device, you have to plug the Eth­ernet cable into the RJ45 connector. And then power on the device. The
device will automatically go into the wired client mode when it detects a
link status through the Ethernet connection during device startup.
