User Manual

Can I listen to music from more than one AW-GA220 at the same time?

Yes, you can stream PC audio to multiple AW-GA220 devices.

Warning: This feature only support AW-GA220 iworking under “Client” mode. Due to AW-GA220 hardware limitation, when AW-GA220 work as Access Point to support this feature, it could cause sound break occasionally.

I hear some sound breaks occasionally, what can I do?

This should not happen in normal cases, but could happen due to some wireless RF interference, especially if there are many wireless devices nearby, such as access points or routers, a microwave oven, bluetooth device, cordless phone, etc. Keep your AW-GA220 away from these devices.

If you are using an Intel Centrino based laptop or some old WLAN card/dongle, it may have a short period of suspending time for background scanning around every minute. It may also cause sound streaming break. Please contact your wireless adapter factor y to download the latest driver of your WLAN card. This problem only exists on Intel old driver version.

You can also change the power management setting of your wireless adapter from Max power saving to Max per formance

The music is coming from PC's speaker and not the speaker that connects to the AW-GA220.

Please open the AzureWave Wireless Audio Utility to connect to the AWGA220, and restart your PC audio player.

My Wireless Device has been detected and connected to the utility, but there is no music coming from the speaker. Check LED on front panel, make sure the wireless audio LED (blue one) is lighting up and flashing. If yes, please check following item. Check your audio cable connection. If cable connection is correct, please close, then re open the audio player Reboot the PC and try again.

If wireless audio LED (blue one) is turn-off, please check your wireless network, make sure your PC is connecting to AW-GA220. If wireless audio LED (blue one) is lighting up but not flashing, please check your wireless audio utility, make sure you already connect to AW-GA220.

Basic AP Functions

My device does not turn on. No LED's light up.

Connect the power adapter to your AP and plug it into the power outlet. Note: Only use the power adapter provided with your AP. Using any other adapter may damage your AP.

LAN Connection Problems - I can't access my AP.

Make sure your AP is powered on. Make sure that your computer has a compatible IP Address. Be sure that the IP Address used on your computer is set to the same subnet as the AP. For example, if the AP is set to 192.168.0.10, change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.0.15 or another unique IP Address that corresponds to the 192.168.0.X subnet. Use the Reset button located on the rear of the AP to revert to the default settings.

I can't connect to other computers on my LAN.

Make sure that each computer has a unique IP Address. And the IP must be in the same subnet as the AP. Make sure that the Link LED is on. If it is not, try a different network cable. Check each computer for correct network settings.

Wireless Troubleshooting I can't access the Wireless AP from a wireless network card

Make sure that the Mode, SSID, Channel andEncryption settings are set the same on each wireless adapter. Make sure that your computer is within range and free from any strong electrical devices that may cause interference. Check your IP Address to make sure that it is compatible with the Wireless AP.

I can't establish connection with Wireless AP with WPA2 encr yption by using Windows Zero Configuration

Update Windows XP with latest Wi-Fi Protect Access 2 (WPA2) through windows update, or alternatively search Microsoft's support site for latest copy of ser vice pack or patch for WPA2.
