software

To uninstall the Utility for In-Wall Unit or the
“Server Setup, powered by DiXiM”
To uninstall the Utility for In-Wall Unit or the “Server
Setup, powered by DiXiM,” follow the steps below. To
uninstall both software programs, perform the procedure
twice, selecting a different program each time.
1 Click “Start” on the Windows taskbar to select
“Control Panel.”

For your computer to be able to communicate with your
installed Units, the computer and the Units must be on a
single 100BASE-TX network. Typically, this requires
100BASE-TX Ethernet cabling and a 100BASE-TX router,
hub, or switch. For details on setting up such a network,
refer to the instruction manual supplied with your router,
hub, or switch, and consult with the local installer of your
Units.
If other network devices are connected to the same
network as your Units and your computer, these devices
may be able to “see” your Units on the network or may
be “seen” by your Units or computer. This does not
mean, however, that these other products will be able to
use the network features of the Units and the Utility for
In-Wall Units software, such as music streaming.
