Information about internet radio and broadband download limits

You should be aware that listening to internet radio stations, listen again programmes,
podcasts and PURE sounds will contribute towards any download limit on your broadband
account set by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can find out if you have a download
limit on your broadband account by checking the terms and conditions of your account
or by contacting your ISP. Please note that listening to DAB or FM, or streaming your own
music files using the ‘Media player’ source, will not contribute towards any download limit
on your account.

Help! I see ‘Time not available’

If you see the message ‘Time not available’ when the radio is in standby you need to select
‘DAB’ audio source and connect to acquire the current time. Providing you have a signal,
Siesta Flow will keep the time up-to-date.

You can also receive the current time by connecting to your wireless network.

“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 Siesta 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 8, 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, Siesta 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 tap Save.

in the Media player source you’ll need to connect the radio to your wireless network if you haven’t
done so already (see Connecting Siesta Flow to your wireless network for the first time). You’ll also
need to download the Flow Server software from www.thelounge.com (you can also use another
UPnP server such as Windows Media Player 11). Finally, the music files stored on your PC or NAS box
must be in a compatible file format (see Chapter 9, Technical specifications for a list of supported file
formats).

on your computer and share them over your wireless network.

8 Help and advice

8.1 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 Siesta 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’.

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

Siesta 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 Siesta 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 Siesta 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).
