1. Insert the CD-ROM into your computer.
2. Install the NETGEAR USB Media Extender utility that is available on the CD-ROM.
3. Launch the utility. After 30 seconds, it finds and displays the remote XAU2511 devices on your home network.
4. Select the XAU2511 device to which you want to stream the music by selecting the line below the corresponding XAU2511-XX device. See figure in Step 1.

You can identify the device by its AirMusic name, which is shown on the product label on the back of the XAU2511 adapter.

1. Click the Connect button. The music played on the computer is played on the remote audio system.
2. To stop playing the music on the XAU2511 device, select the Disconnect button as shown in the figure.

After the First Installation

The NETGEAR USB Media Extender utility is always running in the background. To display the utility on the screen, click the icon on the Windows tray. To play music remotely, select the XAU2511-XX and connect to it.

Troubleshooting

• It takes between 30 seconds to 1 minute to detect the remote XAU2511 the first time.
• If after pressing the Connect button the music is not played remotely, press the Disconnect button and press the Connect button again.
• The XAU2511 cannot be used by another device (smart phone or tablet) in AirMusic mode unless you press the Disconnect button in the utility on the computer.
• All of the music and Windows sounds that come from the computer are redirected and played remotely on the XAU2511. To play only the music without the Windows sounds, launch an Airplay application such as iTunes on your computer.

Set up ReadySHARE Printer

You can have multiple printers or scanners working simultaneously if each USB printer/scanner is connected to an XAU2511 adapter.

1. Connect the USB printer or scanner/fax to the USB port on the XAU2511.

1. Click the printer/scanner device listing and press the Connect for Scan/Fax function button.

Your remote printer/scanner/fax is now connected as if it was connected locally through the USB cable. To print or scan, open the application (such as, Word or Excel), select the Print function and select the printer.

Troubleshooting

If the remote printer/scanner is not detected, make sure that you have already installed the printer/scanner software on the computer where you want to print. The printer/scanner driver must be installed on the computer first.

Troubleshooting

If you use a USB Hub to simultaneously connect different USB hard drives, the power on the USB port of XAU2511 might not be sufficient to power on all of the USB devices. You might need to power on some hard disks with an external power supply.

Advanced Setup

Use Advanced Setup to secure the Powerline network.

1. Plug the two adapters (XAU2511 and XAV1601) into AC wall outlets.
2. Make sure that the Powerline LEDs on each adapter are lit. When the LEDs are lit, it means that the adapters are associated with each other and connected to the network.
