Steps for connecting your radio to your wireless network

Step 1 - Power up the radio

Connecting a power supply with a correct rating, turn power switch on, wait for about 15 seconds, Display light up.

Note: if you would like to give your radio a static IP address then please see the 'Network config' section under the 'Settings' section at the end of the guide.

The display on the front of the radio will light up and say:

Initialising network

After a few seconds, this will change to show:

Scanning

Step 2 - Scan for a wireless network connection

When the display says , press the SELECT button.

(Note: if you make a mistake at any point, press the BACK button to go back to the previous screen.)

The radio will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display:

Scanning

If it can't find one then the display will say:

No Wireless Networks Found

If this happens then you will have to get your wireless access point working - see the instructions supplied with it.

When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the ESSID for the access point on the screen - this is a name that is allocated to the access point by the person who set up the network - for example:

<

My Home Network

It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more than one wireless access point, in which case you can choose which one you want to connect to. Turn the knob on the radio to see the ESSID for each access point the radio has found.

Step 3 - Connect to the wireless network

When the ESSID for the access point you want to connect to is displayed on the screen, press the SELECT button.

If your network is not configured to need an encryption code, the screen should say:

Connecting to Network

Then:

Network OK

If the screen displays either:

Enter WEP key

Or:

Enter WPA key

Then the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You therefore need to enter the correct WEP or WPA code into the radio to get it to communicate with your network.

Only the person who set up the network in the first place knows this code; if that person is not you then you need to find out what it is.

After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code, use the knob to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the SELECT button after each character. Note that WEP and WPA codes are sensitive to upper and lower case characters so you must enter them exactly.

After the final character, use the knob to select the END character and press the SELECT button.

The radio should now be able to connect to the network.

Configuring the radio to use either an Ethernet or a wireless connection

Selecting the ‘Auto’ option from the ‘Wired/Wireless’ menu will allow cause the radio to reboot and then attempt to establish an Ethernet connection, if it is available, to communicate with the network. Otherwise, the radio will attempt to establish a Wi-Fi connection to the network.

Once the radio has established a certain type of connection to the network, then this type of connection will remain in use while the radio is on.

The ‘Network Config’ menu also allows you to choose whether or not the Internet radio displays a warning message when its network signal strength is low. You can enable this feature by selecting ‘Signal Warning’ and then selecting ‘Yes’.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any trouble with your wireless Internet radio, then you may find it useful to visit the help section on our webpage: http://www.reciva.com

If you have trouble connecting the radio 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. You can configure a static IP address on the radio using the menu item 'Settings -> Network Config -> Edit Config', and then select 'No' for 'Auto (DHCP)'.

3. Check that your network's firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80, 554, 1755, 5000, 6000 and 7070.

4. Check your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses. You can view the radio's MAC address using the menu item 'Settings -> Network Config -> View Config -> MAC address'.

5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase 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 passphrase for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

If your radio 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.

Try using a PC to play back the stream via the broadcaster's web site.

If you can play back the station with a PC, use the form at http://www.reciva.com/ to notify us so that we can change the station data that is used by the radio.
