The media player functions have been tested and certified to operate with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OSX 10.2 –

10.4.9 (currently Mac OSX ‘Leopard’ is not

supported). Windows PC Set-Up There are two Music Player modes available. Each of them requires different settings, and either one can be used to playback music from a media server. Shared Folders (CIFS) In order to set up the device to playback music stored on shared network drives, user name, password and domain settings must be configured to work with the PC share settings. This is only required if the user has set a password on his/her shared folders. PC: Domain/Workgroup configuration The Domain configuration item can be found on a Windows XP machine as follows:

2. The Domain or Workgroup that this

Computer is a member of is displayed in this tab.

3. If the PC is not a member of any Domain

or Workgroup then one must be joined. To do this click on the change button on the computer name tab and enter the name of the domain (default on Windows XP is MSHOME).

4. A reboot of the PC may be prompted if

the Domain or Workgroup has been changed. PC: Setting up a new user account (Windows XP) BLIK RadioStation may require you to set-up a user account on each PC that you wish to browse. By default most PCs have at least one user account associated with it. The user name and password (optional) needs to be the same on each PC as the Internet Radio only stores one user name and one password. For windows XP this can be set up as follows:

1. From the start menu, select Control

Panel -> User accounts

2. From this screen left click the ‘Add ...’,

and enter the new user name and the Domain/Workgroup setting noted above. Select the type of user (limited) and then select ‘create account’.

3. Select the user just created, select

‘Create Password ...’ and enter a password for this user.

4. Note the User Name and Password.

Note for Windows VISTA : Users have to turn on the Guest account via manage user accounts in the control panel in VISTA, then add access to either ‘Everyone’ or ‘Guest’ on the shared drive. They could create a new account for the internet radio, with a password, if they are concerned about security. The Guest account has no password by default, so the Wi-Fi radio will connect to it from its factory default settings. PC: Configuring A Shared Drive From the Start menu select My Computer and navigate to the directory you wish to share. Right click on the directory and select Sharing and Security. Configure the shared drive as read only, and ensure that the User Name created above has read access to the share. Wi-Fi Radio: Storing The Username And Password Before the radio can stream music from a PC, you need to ensure you have shared folder available on the PC, and set up the radio so that it knows the username and password (if one has been set) for the shared folder on the PC. This can be set up using the PC settings menu. Shared Media (UPnP) Media sharing uses Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 and above as media server. This mode does not require any setting in the radio, but the PC needs to be configured to allow the radio access to the media. You will only have to do it once, following the next steps.

1. The PC must be connected to network

(wired or wireless) that will be used to share media with the radio.

2. Ensure that the radio is powered on and

connected to the same network as the PC.

3. In WMP, add to the media library the

audio files and folders you want to share with your internet radio (in Library > Add to library).

4. In the WMP main window, click on

Library, then Media sharing. The Internet radio is presented as an “Unknown Device”. Make sure that the device has access to the shared media by selecting it and clicking <Allow>. Then click <OK>. The PC is now ready to stream the music to the radio.

This operation will completely reset BLIK’s memory, clearing all WEP/WPA codes and user settings. This will effectively return BLIK to its default factory settings. Software Update It is possible to remotely update BLIK RadioStation’s software via your Wi-Fi internet connection, to ensure that you have all the latest features, or to fix known bugs in the software. To check whether there are any updates available, simply go to the ‘System Setup’ option on the ‘Main Menu’ and select ‘Software Update’. BLIK will search to see if a software update is necessary, then report back. If an update is available and necessary, BLIK will start the download process and install its new software automatically.

English BLIK RS Manual.qxd 4/1/08 19:38 Page 15Wi-Fi Internet Radio If you are experiencing any problems with your BLIK RadioStation please read the following ‘troubleshooting’ guide. Alternatively you can visit the support section of the Revo website (www.revo.co.uk) or call our technical support staff on 01555 66 61 61. If you have trouble connecting BLIK RadioStation to your wireless network, these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Confirm that a Wi-Fi connected PC can

access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.

2. Check that a DHCP server is available, or

that you have configured a static IP address on the radio.

3. Check that your network’s firewall is not

blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, BLIK RadioStation needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000 and 7070.

4. Check your access point does not

restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio’s MAC address under the ‘Internet Setup’ section, accessed via the ‘System Setup’ option on BLIK’s main menu.

5. If you have an encrypted network, check

that you have entered the correct key or pass phrase into the radio. Remember that text-format keys are case sensitive. If, when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, your radio displays: ‘Wireless error’ followed by a 5-digit number, then please ensure that you enter the correct pass phrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration. If BLIK RadioStation can connect to the network successfully, but is unable to play particular stations, it may be due to one of the following causes:

1. The station is not broadcasting at this

time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).

2. The station has reached the maximum

allowed number of simultaneous listeners.

3. The station is not broadcasting anymore.

4. The link on the radio is out of date.

5. The Internet connection between the

server (often located in a different country) and you is slow. DAB Digital Radio Q. I hear a ‘burbling’ noise on some stations. A. If the signal strength is too low, a break- up in reception can occur. This sound is the result. Make sure that BLIK’s antenna is fully extended and in an upright position. If the problem persists, move BLIK to another location or check that you are in an area where reception of this station is possible. Visit: www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage to check DAB coverage in your area. Q. I get a ‘No stations available’ message? A. Make sure that your antenna is fully extended and vertical. Check the signal strength and move BLIK to another location if necessary. Q. BLIK’s clock isn’t set. A. BLIK needs to be able to pick-up a DAB signal or have its clock set manually. If BLIK can find a DAB station, it can then set its clock. Troubleshooting
