User Guide (English)

Introduction

DN-200WS is a Wi-Fi audio receiver with professional-grade audio outputs. It

lets you add wireless stereo audio reception to any professional audio system
and supports high-resolution audio files using DLNA and AirPlay streaming.
Once your wireless device is connected to DN-200WS’s Wi-Fi network, you
can send your device’s audio signal out of the balanced XLR or unbalanced
1/4” (6.35 mm) outputs to your mixer, loudspeakers, or amplification system.

Please see this guide’s Setup chapter to learn how to integrate DN-200WS
with your audio system, and then refer to the Operation chapter to start using
DN-200WS. For a complete list of supported files, transmission specifications,
and other information, please see the Technical Specifications.

Setup

Items not listed under Introduction > Box Contents are sold separately.

For examples of how you could set up DN-200WS, please see the

Example diagram later in this section.

1. Use either XLR cables or 1/4” (6.35 mm) cables to connect the DN-

200WS’s outputs (balanced or unbalanced) to your loudspeakers,
mixer, amplifier, or other device that accepts line-level inputs (this
device must be powered off).

Important: For stereo operation, make sure left (L) and right (R)
outputs are connected to left and right inputs, respectively.

2. Use the included power adapter to connect DN-200WS’s power input

to a power outlet.

Important: Do not use DN-200WS near a microwave oven, cordless
phone, Bluetooth® device, or other wireless device operating on the

2.4 GHz frequency, which can interfere with the reception.

3. If you are using a mixer, make sure all of its connections are secure,

and power it on.

4. Power on your loudspeakers last.

Operation

When powered on, DN-200WS is always operating in one of three modes:

• AP Mode: AP stands for access point. This is the most basic way to set up

DN-200WS, which will act as a wireless access point (like a standard wireless
router) for your wireless device. See the following AP Mode to learn how to
set this up.

• STA Mode: STA stands for station. This lets you use DN-200WS in an

existing wireless network, extending the signal of the original wireless
access point. Connecting your wireless device to DN-200WS connects it to
the existing wireless network. See the following STA Mode to learn how to
set this up.

• WPS Mode: WPS stands for Wi-Fi Protected Setup. This lets you connect

DN-200WS to your wireless router, allowing you to send audio to DN­200WS over your Wi-Fi network. (Your router must support WPS. Please
see your router’s documentation for more information.) See the following

WPS Mode to learn how to set this up.

Important:

When you switch modes, DN-200WS will play a voice confirmation through its
outputs.

DN-200WS will not receive audio from a phone call. While using it, we
recommend disabling your cellular connection, if possible.

Do not use DN-200WS near a microwave oven, cordless phone, Bluetooth
device, or other wireless device operating on the 2.4 GHz frequency. Devices
like these can interfere with the reception.

AP Mode

To set up DN-200WS in AP Mode:

1. If the AP Mode Light is off, press and hold the Mode Button for 3

seconds.

2. On your wireless device, enter the page or control panel used to select

a wireless network.

3. From the list of wireless networks, select DN-200WS. By default, this

is the one with DN-200WS in the name followed by a unique code for
your particular unit.

If you already entered a new network name in the AP SSID field in the
Settings page, select that name instead. The unit’s code appended to
the new name.

4. Enter the password for the wireless network. The default is pr215denn.

If you already entered a new password in the AP Password field in the
Settings page, enter that password instead.

If you left the AP Password field empty, no password is required.

Your wireless device is now connected to DN-200WS. Play audio on
your wireless device to send it from DN-200WS’s outputs to your
loudspeakers or mixer.

Note: To learn how to enter the settings for each mode (SSID,
password, etc.), see the following Settings Page section.

STA Mode

To set up DN-200WS in STA Mode:

1. Make sure DN-200WS is in AP Mode (as described earlier in AP Mode).

2. On your wireless device, open your web browser and go to http://192.168.0.1.

The Settings page will appear.

3. Click the STA Network Select field to select the desired wireless network.

4. Click the STA Security Mode field to select the desired wireless network’s

security mode.
Note: If you select WPA, WPA2, WPA-Personal, or WPS, you will need to

enter a password.

5. Click the STA Network Password field and enter the password for the

desired wireless network. (Check the Display Password checkbox to
reveal the password, or uncheck it to hide it again.)

6. Click Submit (under the Device Name field). You will see a webpage

confirming the new settings were sent to DN-200WS.

7. Disconnect DN-200WS from its power source, and then reconnect it. It will

automatically enter STA Mode using the new wireless network information.
The STA Mode Light will turn on.
Your wireless device is now connected to DN-200WS. Play audio on your
wireless device to send it from DN-200WS’s outputs to your loudspeakers
or mixer.
Important: After you have gone through Steps 3–6 once, DN-200WS will
remember that information whenever you enter STA Mode. When you want
to use STA Mode with a different wireless network, repeat Steps 1–9.
Note: To learn how to enter the settings for each mode (wireless network,
password, etc.), see the following Settings Page section.
