Getting connected to Internet (for Internet Radio)

Before you can use your Internet ra dio, you must have the f ollowing:

A broadband Internet connection or

A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection (10 or 100 M bits/sec with RJ45 connection) connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a router. In ma ny cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service Provider or bought from a computer store.

If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the Internet radio to communicate with the network.

IMPORT ANT: Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or router is powered up and working with your broadba nd Internet service (use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point or router.

* There are 2 ways of connecting your radio to the network, wired and wireless:

Connecting to wireless network

1. Make sure you are within ra nge of a wireless network.

2. Go to > System settings > Network > Network wizard > [name of the wireless network].

3. If your wireless Internet access (router) haven’t been set the password, the radio will be connected to the Internet. Or,

4. If your wireless Internet access (router) has been set the password, the display will show either ‘Enter WEP key’ or ‘Enter WPA key’. You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your network.

If you do not have the WEP or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set your network. Some Wi-Fi routers may come with a key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the user documentation provided with it.

Y ou will be prompted to enter password: Rotate the Turning knob to highlight the text/number/symbol.

Press the Turning knob to confirm.

Use BKSP to delete.

Use OK to enter when you are done.

Use CANCEL to cancel and exit.

5. Then the screen will show “Connected” when connection had been made.

Connecting to wired network

Connect the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 socket at the ba ck of the radio. If a wired connection is present then the radio will use this in preference to a wireless connection.

There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem.

Green ON = Link e sta blished, Flashing = Data transfer. Yellow ON = 100M bps link, OFF = 10M bps link.

Upgrade firmware

From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. For example, a new audio decoder may be a dded to allow an alternative audio f ormat to be supported. You radio has therefore been designed to allow its internal software to be upgraded using your Internet connection. Upgrading the software will remove all network settings, radio station presets and alarm settings from your radio. Do not attempt this procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a relia ble mains power supply. If you connect to your router using a Wi-Fi connection, make sure that this is also reli able before proceeding.

If there is new software available, then the radio will ask whether you want to download it or not. Selecting No or using the Back button will cancel the operation.
