To enter the static IP addresses, use the UP/DOWN buttons to edit each digit, and LEFT/RIGHT to
go to the next digit, then press OK to complete each entry. Zero out the beginning of each number to
make it three digits - eg "10.5.35.164" would be entered as "010.005.035.164"

Testing your LAN setup

ping the player from your server

On your server, type:

ping your.players.ip.address

If your IP addresses are set up correctly, the player will respond to the pings, and display a message
indicating where it received the ping from.

Installing the server

Download the latest version of the server software from

http://www.slimdevices.com

. The software

includes installation instructions for Windows, Unix, and MacOSX.

Start the server software

To start the server, run server.pl. Unix users may wish to add the server to their startup script so it
runs automatically. Windows users can find instructions in the README.INSTALL file for how to run
the server as a background service.

To configure the server, type the following URL into your web browser: "http://127.0.0.1:9000". This
will bring up the SliMP3 web interface. Click on the "Server settings" link. On this page, you can
choose your language and set the location of your MP3 files on the hard disk. Once these settings
are made, the server will spend a few minutes scanning your mp3 files and building its index.

That's it!
