iBLIK RadioStation

Music Player Mode

Music Player Operation

iBLIK RadioStation’s media player

functionality allows you to play audio files
(ACC, AIFF, AU, MP3, RM, WAV and WMA)
and playlists (M3U) stored on a networked
PC or Apple Mac. The media player
functions have been tested and certified to
operate with Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Mac OSX 10.2 –

10.4.9 (currently Mac OSX ‘Leopard’ is not
supported).

Windows PC Set-Up

There are two Music Player modes
available. Each of them requires different
settings, and either one can be used to
playback music from a media server.

Shared Folders (CIFS)

In order to set up the device to playback

music stored on shared network drives,
user name, password and domain settings
must be configured to work with the PC
share settings. This is only required if the
user has set a password on his/her shared
folders.

PC: Domain/Workgroup configuration

The Domain configuration item can be found
on a Windows XP machine as follows:

1. From the start menu, select Control
Panel > System then select the Computer
Name tab.

2. The Domain or Workgroup that this
Computer is a member of is displayed in
this tab.

3. Select the user just created, select
‘Create Password ...’ and enter a password
for this user.

4. Note the User Name and Password.

Note for Windows VISTA : Users have to
turn on the Guest account via manage user
accounts in the control panel in VISTA, then
add access to either ‘Everyone’ or ‘Guest’ on
the shared drive. They could create a new
account for the internet radio, with a
password, if they are concerned about
security. The Guest account has no
password by default, so the Wi-Fi radio will
connect to it from its factory default
settings.

PC: Configuring A Shared Drive

From the Start menu select My Computer
and navigate to the directory you wish to
share. Right click on the directory and
select Sharing and Security. Configure the
shared drive as read only, and ensure that
the User Name created above has read
access to the share.

Wi-Fi Radio: Storing The
Username And Password

Before the radio can stream music from a
PC, you need to ensure you have shared
folder available on the PC, and set up the
radio so that it knows the username and
password (if one has been set) for the
shared folder on the PC. This can be set up
using the PC settings menu.

Shared Media (UPnP)

3. If the PC is not a member of any Domain
or Workgroup then one must be joined. To
do this click on the change button on the
computer name tab and enter the name of
the domain (default on Windows XP is
MSHOME).

4. A reboot of the PC may be prompted if
the Domain or Workgroup has been
changed.

PC: Setting up a new user account (Windows XP)

iBLIK RadioStation may require you to set-up
a user account on each PC that you wish to
browse. By default most PCs have at least
one user account associated with it. The
user name and password (optional) needs
to be the same on each PC as the Internet
Radio only stores one user name and one
password. For windows XP this can be set
up as follows:

1. From the start menu, select Control
Panel -> User accounts

2. From this screen left click the ‘Add ...’,
and enter the new user name and the
Domain/Workgroup setting noted above.
Select the type of user (limited) and then
select ‘create account’.

10

Media sharing uses Windows Media Player
(WMP) 11 and above as media server. This
mode does not require any setting in the
radio, but the PC needs to be configured to
allow the radio access to the media. You will
only have to do it once, following the next
steps.

1. The PC must be connected to network
(wired or wireless) that will be used to
share media with the radio.

2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and
connected to the same network as the PC.

3. In WMP, add to the media library the
audio files and folders you want to share
with your internet radio (in Library > Add to
library).

4. In the WMP main window, click on
Library, then Media sharing.

The Internet radio is presented as an
“Unknown Device”. Make sure that the
device has access to the shared media by
selecting it and clicking <Allow>. Then click
<OK>.

The PC is now ready to stream the music to
the radio.

Internet Setup

Advanced users can find and edit their
Wi-Fi settings in this section, these
include MAC address, DHCP status, PC
Settings, SSID, IP Settings etc.

Time Setup

The time can be set in one of two ways,
either manually via the System Setup
option on the Main Menu, or alternatively
simply press the MODE key until iBLIK
RadioStation enters DAB Mode. In DAB
mode, iBLIK will automatically set the
correct time and date from the DAB

removed.

Under the ‘Time Setup’ menu, you can
also switch between 12 an 24 hour clock
formats.

Lastly, the ‘Auto Update’ option in the
‘Time Setup’ menu allows you to select
whether or not the time should be
synchronised with the DAB broadcaster
clock or from the internet. If ‘No Update’
is selected, then the clock remains as
manually set.

Factory Reset

In the unlikely event that iBLIK
RadioStation should ‘crash’, ‘freeze’ or
start behaving in a strange way, it is
possible to perform a full software reset.
This operation will completely reset iBLIK’s
memory, clearing all WEP/WPA codes
and user settings. This will effectively
return iBLIK to its default factory settings.

Software Update

It is possible to remotely update iBLIK
RadioStation’s software via your Wi-Fi
internet connection, to ensure that you
have all the latest features, or to fix
known bugs in the software. To check
whether there are any updates available,
simply go to the ‘System Setup’ option on
the ‘Main Menu’ and select ‘Software
Update’. iBLIK will search to see if a
software update is necessary, then report
back. If an update is available and
necessary, iBLIK will start the download
process and install its new software
automatically.

Troubleshooting

Wi-Fi Internet Radio

If you are experiencing any problems with
your iBLIK RadioStation please read the
following ‘troubleshooting’ guide.
Alternatively you can visit the support
section of the Revo website
(www.revo.co.uk) or call our technical
support staff on 01555 66 61 61.

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

1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi 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.

3. Check that your network’s firewall is not
blocking any outgoing ports.

As a minimum, iBLIK RadioStation needs
access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554,
1755, 5000 and 7070.

4. Check your access point does not
restrict connections to particular MAC
addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC
address under the ‘Internet Setup’ section,
accessed via the ‘System Setup’ option on
iBLIK’s main menu.

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
pass phrase for the network. If the problem
persists, then you may need to consult your
network configuration.

If iBLIK RadioStation 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.

DAB Digital Radio

Q. I hear a ‘burbling’ noise on some

stations.

A. If the signal strength is too low, a break-

up in reception can occur. This sound is
the result. Make sure that iBLIK’s
antenna is fully extended and in an
upright position. If the problem persists,
move iBLIK to another location or check
that you are in an area where reception
of this station is possible.
Visit: www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage
to check DAB coverage in your area.

Q. I get a ‘No stations available’ message?

A. Make sure that your antenna is fully

extended and vertical. Check the signal
strength and move iBLIK to another
location if necessary.

Q. iBLIK’s clock isn’t set.

A. iBLIK needs to be able to pick-up a DAB

signal or have its clock set manually. See
page 6 for full instructions on how to set
the time and date.
