1. The MAC will require Windows File Sharing. MAC OS 9 and earlier versions of the OS will
need extra software to use Windows File Sharing. MAC OS X 10.2 and later versions have
Windows File Sharing built into the OS. Please ensure that your PC is available on the
network for your Internet radio. Your radio will also need to be able to access directories
that require a user name and password.
2. Setup Windows File Sharing on the MAC:
From the ‘Dock’, click ‘System Preferences’. From the ‘System Preferences’
window, under the ‘Internet & Network’ section, click ‘Sharing’.
From the ‘Sharing’ window, do the following:
• Under the ‘Services’ section, enable ‘Personal File Sharing’ and ‘Windows
Sharing’ Also, click ‘Start’ for each of these services.
• Under the ‘Firewall’ section, keep the firewall off.
• Under the ‘Internet’ section, keep ‘Internet Sharing’ off.
3. Setup Account:
From the ‘System Preferences’ window, under the ‘System’ section, click
‘Accounts’. Select an account and remember its ‘Short Name’ and password. This
will be used for the radio to connect to the MAC.
4. Directory Setup:
From the ‘Dock’, click ‘Finder’. From ‘Finder’, click ‘Applications > Utilities’. Click
on ‘More Info’ for ‘Directory Access’ and ensure that it is ‘Read/Write’ enabled.
Double-click on ‘Directory Access’ and enable the following:
• AppleTalk
• LDAPv3
• SLP
• SMB/CIFS
Also, for ‘SMB/CIFS’, click ‘Configure’ and select an appropriate workgroup.
Copy and paste the mp3 media files to ‘Documents’ in the ‘Finder’ window.
Turn on ‘AirPort’ (or wireless sharing).
Wait for a few minutes for the changes to take place.
5. The radio should now be able to access the MAC from its ‘Media Player > Windows
Shares’ menu after entering in the MAC account’s short name and password on the radio.
