EU Declaration of Conformancy

Warning

This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

FCC Compliance Statement

NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC limits for Class B digital devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE (“home or office” interference requirements are more stringent than “outdoor” requirements. Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

The Streamit audio encoder/streamer does not contain any user-servicable parts. Repairs should be made only by an authorized Streamit service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void your warranty and your authority to operate the device under Part 15 regulations.

Required equipment

Before you are able to listen audio broadcasts through the internet, you will need some other items beside the Streamit audio encoder/streamer. We distinguish the following situations:

1. You do not want to use a streaming audioserver hosted by an internet serviceprovider and you already have a DSL line with sufficient bandwidth to the internet.

2. In all other cases.

In the first situation you need:

• An ADSL line and modem with integrated router and at least 2 ethernet connections. It is important that this line has enough upstream bandwidth and is not shared with too many other DSL lines (advise: maximum 20-

25). You can calculate the number of listeners which can listen simultaneously with the following formula: upstream bitrate ADSL (in kbit/s) * % bandwidth available / bitrate per listener. It is also important the DSL line has a fixed IP address.

For example: with an upstream bandwidth of 256 kbit/s, an average bandwidth availability of 70% and an average audioquality, so let’s say 24 kbit/s stream bitrate, you can support about 7 to 8 listeners simultaneously. With a 1024 kbit/s line this amount is about 30.

Page 4

The average availability of an ADSL line cannot be guaranteed by Streamit; this depends on the amount of traffic on the internet. For this reason do not look only after the price of the DSL subscription, but also check the guarantees which are offered by your network supplier.

In the second situation you need:

• An ADSL line and modem with integrated router and at least 2 ethernet connections.

• A subscription to a service provider which supports audio streaming with an icecast server.

For the configuration of the SAS100 you need in both situations a laptop or PC with an Ethernet interface and network cable.

If it’s still not working…

We do understand that installation of this software with a limited knowlegde of computers and software can be difficult, but it should not be.

In case you do not succeed, we ask you to contact the supplier of the product. Streamit only supports (by phone or email) customers who have bought this product directly from them. Furthermore, Streamit offers free support through the discussion forum on their website. Have a look at www.stream-it.nl!

The installation

The ADSL line and the ADSL modem

The installation of the ADSL line is outside the scope of this manual. This also applies for the ADSL modem. Please read the documentation you have received from your ADSL provider and/or ADSL modem supplier.

Preparing the SAS100

1 Remove the packaging material. 2 Mount the supplied plastic bumpers under the product to prevent damaging the surface on which the product will

be placed.

3 Place the product on a location close to an ethernet interface or ADSL router and mains power supply.

Connecting the product with an audio installation

The audio installation needs to be connected to the Mic-input or the Line-input of the product. We strongly recommend you to use the Line-input for this. In case you have problems with hum or noise, it is advised to install an audio DI (direct injection) box between the audio installation and the product.

Important! To ensure a reliable operation of the SAS100 many audioinstallations need to be connected through a galvanic isolation. Streamit provides these devices.

Connecting the product to the mains power supply

Warning

• Never use wet hands when putting the power adapter in the main. And also, never remove the power adapter from the main with wet hands.

• Do not cut or damage the cord of the power adapter. Also do not place heavy objects on the cord. This can cause short-circuit, which can result in fire or electrical shocks.

• Pulling the cord can damage the wire and/or isolation, which can case fire or electrical shocks.

• The use of power adapters, which have not been recommended for this product, can result in overheating

and damage of the product. This can cause fire, electrical shocks and other dangers. Only use the supplied power adapter.

• Do not place the product in places with direct sunlight or high temperatures. This can result in the change of the colors of the product and/or deforming of the casing. Ensure good ventilation around the power adapter and the product.

• Applying the product to situations with rapid changing temperatures can result in condensation (small amount of water) on the inner and outer surface of the product. To ensure a long lifetime of the product, this should be prevented as much as possible. Wait until the condensation has disappeared before you use the product again.

Put the cord of the power adapter into the product and the mains power supply and press on the power button.

Connecting the product to the ethernet connector or ADSL router

Connect the product to the ethernet connector or ADSL router with the attached ethernet cable. When everything is ok the green led of the Ethernet connector will be continuously on. The yellow led will flash irregularly. If this doesn’t happen, please read in the chapter Troubleshooting to check what can be wrong.
