2. INSTALLATION
2.1. NETWORK SETUP
2.1.1. Basic Requirements
For the Web Tuner device to work properly under your existing network environment, your network must feature the following:
You must have a router device with an enabled DHCP server function, so that it can automatically assign the IP address to your computer or another network device.
If you already have a router device in your home, it will be easy to setup the Web Tuner device with your existing network environment. If you don't know what you have on your home network, the following FAQ will help you to troubleshoot before operating your Web Tuner device.
The minimum streams to receive Radio IP are :
- 192 kB/s for a normal quality,
- 640 kB/s for an upper quality.
How does your computer or Notebook PC access the Internet?
The answer might be one of the following:
Case I
I have to plug an Ethernet cable to the computer, and
- I have to execute a dial-up program from my computer to link to the ISP service, and I can then access the Internet.
→ You need to purchase a (wireless) broadband router. - No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, but I set a fixed IP address in my computer.
- No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, and I set a dynamic IP address in my computer.
→ There is a router device in your home. You can configure the Web Tuner device in wired client mode to operate it with your home network.
Case II
I use wireless connection, and
- I have to execute a dial-up program from my computer to link to the ISP service, and I can then access the Internet.
→ There is no router device in your home. You need to purchase a new router device to upgrade your home network.
- No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, but I set a fixed IP address in my computer.
If the IP address is provided by your ISP supplier, there is probably no DHCP service in your home network. You need to buy a new router device. If the IP address is a virtual IP, such as 192.168.xxx.xxx, you should have a router device. Therefore, the Web Tuner device will function with your home network.
- No extra dial-up program is executed in my computer, and I set the dynamic IP address in my computer.
There is a wireless router device in your home, the Web Tuner device will be able to operate with your home network.
Moreover, the Web Tuner allows to play the music loaded in your PC, this one being connected to the same router.
2.1.2. Configuration as a Wireless Client
There are three network configuration modes available for the Web Tuner device: simple wireless client, wired client, or wireless access point (AP).
The factory default mode is the client mode. If an Ethernet cable is available, the device will automatically select a suitable client mode to operate. Users can also manually change the network configuration settings via the Setup menu "Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network".
If you have a 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, this mode is the most straightforward means of connecting theWeb Tuner device to the existing network.
Simply power the device, without connecting an Ethernet cable, and the device will automatically switch to the wireless client mode and detect all available wireless APs (Access Points). The first time the device is set to the wireless client mode, you need to determine which AP to connect to and enter the encryption key. Once the settings have been established, the device will remember the settings and attempt to connect to the designated AP when it is switched on. However, if you encounter any difficulty in connecting to the designated AP, the device will display the AP list for you to configure the device once again.

2.1.3. Configuration as a Wired Client
If there is no 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, and only a wired 802.3 network is available, the Web Tuner device can connect to the wired network via an Ethernet cable.
In this case, before powering the device, you need to plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector. The device will automatically switch to the wired client mode when it detects a link status via the Ethernet connection.
(A) Using the device for the first time, with an Ethernet cable connection:
If the Web Tuner is switched on after a reset, wireless client mode will be chosen, even if Ethernet cable has already been plugged in.

2.1.4. Configuration as a Wireless Access Point (AP)
If you wish to extend your wireless network coverage range, you need to add new access points to specific locations in your home. This will enable other wireless notebook PCs and network devices to access the extended wireless network. The Web Tuner device can also be configured as a wireless AP. With this feature, you can easily extend your wireless coverage without having to purchase another AP.
To configure the Web Tuner device as an AP, you need to setup the device manually via the MMI menu "Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network/AP mode". You then need to enter the IP address, the SSID, the channel number and the AP encryption. Once these settings have been established, the device will automatically reboot and function as an AP.
