Chapter 2 Getting Connected

Before you can use your internet radio, you must have the f ollowing:

A broadband internet connection or

A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet conne ction (10 or 100 M bits/sec with RJ45 connection) connected to your broadband internet, preferably via a router. In many 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.

IMPORTANT: 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.

Connecting to wireless network

To setup the wireless network:

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

2. Go to >Main menu>System setup > Internet setup > Wizard > [name of the wireless network].
