Configuring the Wireless Audio Adapter (WAA)
The Wireless Audio Adapter Installer (WAAI) is a tool for managing the configuration of your Wireless Aud io
Adapter(s) from your computer. Although the Wireless Audio Adapter is delivered out of the box pre-configured with
default factory settings, it is likely that you will need to modify this configuration to suit your own wireless network.
The WAAI's main task is therefore to configure Wireless Audio Adapters being added to your wireless network. In
addition, you can upload new firmware for your Wireless Audio Adapter.
There are typically three ways in which the WAAI software can communicate with a Wireless Audio Adapter device:
• Peer-to-peer (ad-hoc)
The PC running the WAAI software has a wireless network interface card installed and you do not use an
Access Point (AP).
• Wireless, via an Access Point (AP)
The PC running the WAAI software has a wireless network interface card installed and an Access Point is used
as a hub; it is likely that you have multiple wireless devices communicating to the Internet via that AP.
• Wired, via an Access Point (AP)
