Getting started

• What you need before you can use

your Internet radio

Before you can use your Internet radio, you need the following:

• A broadband Internet connection.

• A wireless access point (Wi-Fi)connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a wireless router.

• If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access(WPA) data encryptions then you need to know the WEP or WPA code so you can get the Internet radio to communicate with the network.

The Internet radio should work anywhere within 100 meters of the wireless access point. But this condition may differ depending on the access point or wireless network environments. Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point is powered up and connected to your broadband Internet. To get this part of the system working, you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point.

• Steps for connecting your radio to your wireless network

Step 1 Power up the radio

Plug the cable from the mains adapter into the socket labeled 7.5V DC on the back of the radio.

CAUTION: Use only the mains adapter supplied with the radio. Connecting a power supply with a different rating will cause permanent damage to the radio and may be hazardous.

Note: if you would like to give your radio a static IP address then please see the ‘Network config’ section under the ‘Configure’ section at the end of the guide. The display on the front of the radio will light up and say:

After a few seconds, this will change to show:

Step 2 Scan for a wireless network connection

When the display says <Scan for networks>, press the SELECT button.

Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press the BACK button to go back to the previous screen. The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:

If the radio can’t find any wireless networks, the display

will show:

If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - see the instructions supplied with it. When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on the screen – this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example:

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the knob on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.

Getting started

Step 3 Connect to the wireless network

When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT button. If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say:

Then:

If the screen displays either:

Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA code into the radio to get it to communicate with your network. Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is not you then you need to find out what it is. After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the knob to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after each character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly. Make sure the character you want is shown in the center of the display before you press SELECT. After the final character, use the knob to select the [END] character and press the SELECT button. The radio should now be able to connect to the network.

Note. Before using the Internet Radio, You need to setup the language in advance. You can select the language in the following menu. (Configure > Language)

• Using the Wired LAN function (optional)

This product supports the Wired LAN function using the external “USB to Ethernet dongle” optionally. The user should use the external “USB to Ethernet dongle” that provided with your the Internet Radio. The user has to plug “USB to Ethernet dongle” in USB HOST jack before powering the unit.

If you use the the external “USB to Ethernet dongle”, You can select the network in the following menu. (Configure > Network Config> Wired/Wireless) depending on your network conditions. There are three selections in the network options as ‘Auto’, ‘Wired Only’, ‘Wireless Only’.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any trouble with your wireless Internet radio, first refer to the troubleshooting below. And then you may find it useful to visit the help section of the following: http://www.reciva.com

if your questions remain unanswered.

If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Confirm that your connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.

2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the radio. You can configure a static IP address on the radio using the menu item ‘Configure

➞ Network Config ➞ Edit Config’, and

then select ‘No’ for ‘Auto (DHCP)’.

3. Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000, 6000 and 7070.

4. Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu item ‘Configure

➞ Network Config ➞ View Config ➞ MAC address’.

5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or pass phrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, your radio displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct passphrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

If your radio can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

1. The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).

2. The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.

3. The station is not broadcasting anymore.

4. The link on the radio is out of date.

5. The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow.

Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster’s web site. If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/

to notify us so that we can change the station data that is used by the radio. If you are having trouble connecting to your Windows XP shared music folder, and you are using a username with no password, try adding a new user name with a password to Windows (Control Panel – User Accounts) specifically for the radio, and try to connect using that.
