INTERNET RADIO QUICKSTART GUIDE
What You Need Before You Can Use Your Internet Radio and Network Streamer
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 router.
• If your wireless network is congured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected
Access (WPA) data encryption then you need to know the WEP or WPA / WPA 2 code so you can get the Internet radio to communicate with the network.
• If your wireless network is congured for trusted stations you will need to enter the radio’s
MAC address into your wireless access point. To find the radio’s MAC address use menu items as follows: Settings > Network Config > View Config > MAC Address
• To enter the MAC address into your wireless access point, you must read the instructions
supplied with the wireless access point.
The Internet radio should work anywhere within 300 feet (100 meters) of the wireless access point.
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
First, connect to the AC Power. The radio can be switched on or off with the STANDBY/ON button.
The display on the front of the radio will light up and indicate:
Grace Digital Radio
After a few seconds, this will change to show:
Initializing
Network
After a few seconds, this will change to show:
< Scan for networks >
Enter network
View Cong Edit Cong
Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection
When the display shows < 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.)

Steps For Connecting Your Radio To Your Wireless Network (Continued)
If it can’t find one then the display will show:
No networks
Found
If this happens then you will have to setup your wireless access point - see the instructions supplied with your wireless router / access point.
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 your network - for example:
< My Home Network >
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.
For optimal performance you may want to check your home network settings to make sure your radio is on a deferent channel than your neighbors. To do this please consult your Wi-Fi router owners manual.
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:
Connecting to
Network
10 Grace Internet and Network Media Player
Steps For Connecting Your Radio To Your Wireless Network (Continued)
Then:
Network OK
If the screen displays either:
Enter WEP key
Or:
Enter WPA key
Then your 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 the password / security code 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 inwards after each character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.
Use the ’Back’ button to erase incorrect characters.
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. Your password will be saved in your Grace radio even if a power outage occurs.
If the display shows “Invalid key” or “Network Error”, an incorrect password has probably been entered.
