Introduction
Professional internet audio player
The ISP40 is a professional internet radio player featuring the unique Linum ^™ technology which eliminates any unwanted behaviour such as sudden channel hopping or music stops. An internal buffer will avoid any music interruptions for short term connection interruptions and will make sure the audio stream will be automatically restored afterwards.
The front panel of the system accommodates a 2.8" TFT display in combination with a push rotary function dial and 4 tactile pushbuttons. The controls and indicators on the front panel of the unit are guaranteeing an intuitive and user friendly operation, allowing hassle free operation and configuration to even unexperienced users. Information such as internet radio station information is are indicated.
It synchronizes with the database which contains over 30.000 channels, allowing selection on different criteria such as genre, location, language, ... while custom streams can also be added to a preference list up to 100 entries. The signal output level as well as the systems IP settings and other advanced network settings are user configurable, allowing implementation to any audio system connected to home, office or enterprise data networks.
The input connection is implemented by an RJ45 type connector with indicator LED's, allowing connection to any ethernet network. The balanced stereo line output is connected through two 3-pin terminal block connections.
The RS-232 communication port allows system integration with any home or industrial automation system, while an optional 2.4 GHz remote control allows handheld control while hidden out of sight.

The level can be adjusted by rotating clockwise (tuning up) or counter-clockwise (tuning down). Press the rotary dial for confirming the currently set output level.
DB info:
DB info gives the version information regarding the currently loaded vTuner database which contains all station information.
The autoupdate function allows automatic updating of the database. When enabled, the ISP40 automatically synchronizes with the database server whether a new update becomes available, and if so, automatically start the database update process without any noticeable consequences for the user / listener. Autoupdate is standard configured as ON but can be disabled (switched to OFF).
Manual database updating can be started by selecting 'Start Database Update'. When selected, the currently stored database will be removed and the latest version is retrieved from the server. The database update process can take few minutes before completed.

Subnet mask: Assigned by DHCP
Gateway: Assigned by DHCP
DNS 1: Assigned by DHCP
DNS 2: Assigned by DHCP
IP Settings > DHCP:
In default configuration, the DHCP function for the ISP40 is enabled whereby the IP address and other network settings are automatically assigned through the DHCP server in your network.
Since the ISP40 doesn't support any control commands from other devices over TCP/IP in contrast to other TCP/IP control supporting devices, the ISP40 doesn't need to have a ‘fixed’ for being reachable through other devices.
IP settings > IP address:
The IP address for the system can be configured in this window. Each section of the IP address can be individually adjusted by turning the rotary dial (clockwise for up, and counter-clockwise for down). The currently adjusting section will be indicated in blue colour. Once the correct number for the current section is selected, proceed to the next section by pressing the rotary dial.
IP settings > Other network settings:

Additional information
IP Basics
Many AUDAC products are controllable by Ethernet. The Ethernet connection which is used on the AUDAC products is TCP/IP based, like 99% of the computer networks. There are some basics which you need to know to successfully make a TCP/IP Ethernet connection.
The data in TCP/IP networks is always send in packages, all these packages must be delivered at an unique address, just like the mailman delivers mail at your home mailbox. In TCP/IP networks, this address is called the "IP address". The IP address is always a number in the following format "192.168.000.001". As you can see, this address consists of 4 separate numbers ranging from "000" to "255".
In simple terms, only the latest number of an IP address can be different within a network, so there is a maximum of 254 unique addresses within a network, ranging from "xxx.xxx.xxx.001" to "xxx.xxx.xxx.254". The first three numbers must be the same to make communication between several devices possible, else the devices can not communicate with each other.
Example:
Device 1: IP address: 192.168.000.001
Device 2: IP address: 192.168.000.002
Device 3: IP address: 192.168.001.003
In this example, Device 1 can communicate with Device 2, but not with Device 3, because the first three numbers must be the same. These first three parts are called the "IP range", so the devices must be in the same "IP range" to communicate with each other.
The “IP range” of home and office networks are defined by the network administrator, this means that the IP range of your home or office network can be different from another network. AUDAC products have the following IP address as default: “192.168.0.xxx”, this means the standard IP range of AUDAC products is “192.168.000.xxx”. If your network is using a different IP range, the AUDAC products will not be accessible from your network. You can change the IP address of the AUDAC products to make them work properly in your network. This can be done in the settings menu, and is described extensively in the “Settings” chapter of this user manual.
Ask your network administrator for help if you are not familiar with networks.
Summary
– All devices must have an unique IP address
– All devices must be within the same IP range
