To listen to online audio content (internet radio, listen again programmes, podcasts and PURE

sounds) and stream your music collection you’ll need the following:

A broadband internet connection (minimum speed 0.5 MB). If you already surf the web at home, then your internet connection is active and working correctly.

A wireless router, also called a wireless access point. If your network is secured, you’ll need the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key or password for your

network (for help see ‘What is a WEP key?’). A registration code from the Lounge, PURE Digital’s online gateway to connected audio.

To get a registration code, visit www.thelounge.com and click on ‘Connect my PURE radio’ to register your details and receive a registration code by e-mail. You’ll be asked to enter this code into your AVANTI Flow as part of the setup process.

“Help! What is a WEP key?”

A WEP, WPA or WPA2 key is a sequence of letters and numbers that prevents unauthorized access to a secured wireless network. Devices like AVANTI Flow need the encryption key in order to connect to your wireless network. It is usually 26 or 64 characters long depending on how your wireless network is conﬁgured and in some cases a shorter password can also be used instead of a full key. WEP, WPA and WPA2 keys are case sensitive, please take care entering your key.

You may have noted down the key or password when you set up your broadband account and/or wireless network (or you could ask the person who set up your wireless network).

If you can’t ﬁnd your key or password, don’t panic. See Chapter 9, Help and Advice for more help on ﬁnding this important information.

Note Depending on your wireless network conﬁguration, entering only the password may not be

sufﬁcient to connect. If this is the case, AVANTI Flow will try to connect to your network and then display the ‘Unable to connect’ menu. If this happens, highlight and select ‘Change key

or password’

and try entering the full WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption key and press Save.

9 Help and advice

9.1 Steps to ensure successful connection to your wireless network

Help and advice

Your wireless network needs to be visible, not ‘hidden’, and broadcasting an SSID (network name) in order for AVANTI Flow to detect it. If you’d like to enter your network settings manually and leave your network conﬁgured as ‘hidden’, then follow the instructions on page 28, ‘Manual setup’.

AVANTI Flow cannot connect to wireless networks that are access controlled, such as certain s ofﬁce networks, without special permissions.

AVANTI Flow needs to be positioned within the range of your wireless network, which will be s reduced if there are brick walls in between the router and the radio. Although AVANTI Flow is very good at picking up wireless networks, the strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on your router and surrounding environment. If AVANTI Flow fails to ﬁnd your wireless network, or the signal drops off, move closer to the router and select another station.

Unless your network is ‘open’ (this is generally not recommended due to the risk of unauthorised s access), make sure you have your WEP, WPA or WPA2 key to hand. You can ﬁnd this by logging in to your router’s settings using a web address (found in the router’s instruction manual) and a user name and password (sometimes found on the casing of the router itself or by contacting your ISP).

9.4 Steps to ensure successful DAB and FM radio listening
