Stream Internet Radio from your WiFi / wireless 802.11 B / G router.

Connect your local CAT5 Ethernet cable to stream Internet Radio.

Plug in any USB Drive and listen to your music files.

2.1 Hardware Installation

If you prefer to use Ethernet for wired network connection, please plug in your Ethernet cable to the LAN (RJ45) port.

Please plug in the DC power adapter to the outlet and the DC power jack carefully.

To operate the device, you can use the supplied remote control.

2.2 Software Installation

AIREC01F can work as a stand-alone device or as a media streamer of a media server. As a stand-alone unit, you can use it to listen to Internet radio and external USB storage/MP3 players. No computer is needed.

For digital music files that are stored in your computer, you need to install streaming server software in the computer so that AIREC01F can request the streaming service from that server.

AIREC01F is compliant to UPnP protocol. It works with media server software such as Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11), Microsoft Media Connect 2.0 (WMC2.0), and Musicmatch Jukebox. Once you have the software installed on the computer, you can stream your music collection to AIREC01F.

Please find Appendix A and B for instructions on how to connect AIREC01F to your computer via WMP11, and WMC2.0.

There are three modes of network configuration for AIREC01F. It can be a wireless client, a wired client, or even a wireless access point (Wireless AP).

3.1 Configure as an Wireless Client

The factory default mode is the wireless client code. According to the availability of an Ethernet cable, the device will automatically select a suitable client mode to operate. User can also manually change the setting of network configuration through the Setup menu “Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network”.

AIREC01F will connect wirelessly if it detects an 802.11b/g wireless network. With no Ethernet cable attached, you just need to power on the device and AIREC01F will automatically enter the wireless client mode.

To connect AIREC01F to the wireless network for the first time, you will need to set the encryption key for a secured network. Once the setting is finished, the device will remember the related settings and try to connect to the designated AP when it is power on next time. However, if there is something trouble in connecting to the designated AP, the device will show the AP list screen for you to configure again

3.2 Configure as a Wired Client

If there is no 802.11b/g wireless network, AIREC01F can also connect to the wired network through an Ethernet cable.

For this case, prior to power on the device, you have to plug in the Ethernet cable into the LAN (RJ45) connector on the back of the unit. After you power on the device, it will automatically go into the wired client mode when it detects a link status through the Ethernet connection.

3.3 Configure as a Wireless Access Point (AP Mode)

AIREC01F can also be configured as a wireless AP. With such feature, you can easily extend the wireless coverage without purchasing another AP.

To configure the AIREC01F as an wireless AP, you have to manually setup the device through selecting the setup menu “Setup / Advanced Setup / Configure Network/AP mode”. And then further setup the IP address scheme, SSID, channel number and the encryption key of the AP. Once the setting is finished, the device will reboot automatically and function as an AP.
