TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If you have trouble connecting the radio to your wireless network, these steps may
help to resolve the problem:
Confirm that another Wi-Fi or Ethernet Wired-connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can
browse the web) using the same network.
Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static IP address on the
radio.
Check that your firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access
to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000, and 7070.
Some access points may be set so that only equipment with registered MAC addresses can
connect to them. This is one possible cause of the Internet Radio being unable to connect to the
Wi-Fi network, and the Internet Radio display will show Bad ESSID or key. To overcome this
problem you will need to add the Internet Radio’s MAC address to the list of allowed equipment in
your access point. The Internet Radio’s MAC address can be found using the menu item
Configure > Network Config > View Config > MAC address. You will need to refer to the guide for
your Access Point in order to enter the Internet Radio as an allowed piece of equipment.
If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase into
the radio. Remember that text format keys are case sensitive.
If your wireless network name (ESSID) is ‘Hidden’ (a setting on the wireless access point), then
you can either unhide it, or manually enter the name into the Internet radio and media player:
Select Configure, Select network, Enter ESSID. Confirm if the Network is encrypted, e.g. requires
a WEP or WPA key, then enter the network name.
2. 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 reasons:
The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different
time zone).
The station has too many people trying to connect to the radio station server and the server
capacity is not great enough.
The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
The station is no longer broadcasting.
The link on the radio is out of date. This is updated automatically every day, so the next time you
turn on the radio, the link will be recognized.
The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is slow.
Some Internet service providers may fail to stream in certain geographical areas. 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/station/add_station.asp to notify us so that we can change
the station data that is used by the radio.
If you have a laptop, try connecting to the radio station using that.
3. When you scan for PCs none can be found, or the PC you are looking for does not
appear in the list:
Global File sharing is not enabled on the PC.
The PC you are looking for is in another part of the network separated by a router. (This may
happen if you have two access points on the same network, and the Media source is on one
Access Point and the Internet radio is on another).
The PC with the media content may not have the same workgroup as the server managing the
network. The easiest solution is to change the PC workgroup name to the same as that being
supported by the server.
You have not connected to the wireless Access point. On the Internet radio, select ‘Configure’,
‘Network Configure’, ‘Select Network’, ‘Scan’ and then select your Wireless network. (You may
need to enter a security key to access the network wirelessly.)
You have not enabled simple file sharing on Windows 2000. In Windows 2000 simple file sharing
- 14 -
can be selected in Control Panel, by selecting Folder options, view Tab. The safest way for users
to enable the service is to run the ‘Set up a home or small office network’ wizard from Control
Panel, Network Connections.
You have a firewall set on your PC which is stopping you accessing shared files.
Windows 2000 doesn’t come with a real firewall so unless you have installed one this should not
be a problem.
You have a third party firewall in your network, which is preventing file sharing.
If you have a third party firewall (Like Norton, or Zone Alarm) that will have its own control panel
and you will need to consult the manual for your firewall.
If your PC is connected to a managed network with a server, the PC being searched for needs to
be in the server workgroup.
4. You can see the PC you want to play music from, but cannot find any folders on the
PC:
The folder which has your music in it is not shared. You will need to locate the file you want to
share, right click on the folder, and select ‘Properties’, Then tick share this file.
The folder is not in an accessible place, i.e. it is in, My music, My documents or on the Desktop.
You will need to move the folder to the root directory.
You have entered the wrong user name or password for the PC account you are trying to access.
Check and re-enter the user name and password, note the password is case sensitive.
You have a firewall running which is preventing the Internet radio from seeing the shared folder.
As a quick check, you can disable firewalls like Norton to see if this overcomes the problem, if this
resolves the issue then you can either leave the firewall off, or allow file sharing through the
firewall.
Note: If you firewall is required to provide security for your system, it should not be left off.
Note: Although you can share a CD drive, you cannot stream music directly from the drive.
5. Whenever I enter my media folder , the Internet radio rescans the content of the
folder:
Although the folder with your music in it is shared , it is ‘write protected’, so the Internet Radio
cannot save a list of the folder’s content back onto the PC, as it needs to rescan each time.
Tick the box that allows the Folder to be modified across the network.
6. Although I can see my music files in the folder, I cannot play them and the Internet
Radio says they are ‘Protected’:
When you copied the music files to the hard drive you had ‘Personal Rights management’ turned
on, this protects the files from being played by a third party device like the Internet Radio. You will
need to copy the music files again, but with the protection turned off.
You are trying to play iTune files which have been purchased from the iTunes online store, these
are protected and can only be played on an iPod. Locally created or ‘ripped’ files for iPods can be
played as they do not carry the extra layer of Media Protection.
7. I can access the PC with my Media, but when I change to the Use Account, I cannot
see the folder , although it is shared when I check my PC:
The Alternative account on the machine may be Private. If when the account was created the
‘Make this account Private’ option was selected, the contents of this account cannot be seen over
the network. You will need to move the music to an accessible account.
8. I can’t share a folder , as the option is not highlighted:
The share folder option will not be available until you have turned simple file sharing on. Run the
wizard.
Scan Error:
When the Internet radio is scanning the content of the folders on a PC, the windows file sharing
application may time out. This is most likely to occur if both the PC with the media content and
the Internet Radio are connected wirelessly.
- 16 -
Try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via cable. This will dramatically
increase the speed at which the Internet Radio is able to scan the content of the Media PC.
Playlists:
Some media ripping applications allow ‘Playlists’ to be created. The Internet Radio is able to
detect and stream these playlists, but they must be stored in the folder with the rest of the Media
content and they must have the file extension.m3u.
Windows Media player can create suitable playlist, just select ‘create new playlist’, drag and drop
the tracks you want into the playlist, then use ‘Save as’ to ensure the file type is .m3u. (Existing
play lists can be opened and re-saved in this format.) When the Internet Radio detects playlists, it
will enable a new menu option allowing the playlist to be selected and added to the queue.
If you re-connect to another PC of folder, which does not have any Playlists in the .m3u. format,
the playlist option will not be presented in the menu.
9. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
The Internet Radio streams data from the radio station via your broadband connection. If there is
a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the connection is intermittent, then it will
cause the Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-established and it has received
enough data to start playing again.
If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that the
Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing these
problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
10. What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount of the stream
before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any gaps in the stream that may occur if the Internet
or the wireless network is busy.
The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a stream gets
blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring, it may stop/interfere with the quality
of play. If this happens, check your Internet connection speed – it must be faster than the speed
of the streams.
