In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same
IP address as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero. To enter the
DNS address, press the Folder Up or Down buttons on the remote control to set the value
for each group of digits and then press the Select button or the Left or Right buttons (on
the remote control) to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all
eight groups of digits have been entered. If you previously specified ‘Wired’ and then ‘DHCP
disable’, your radio should now connect to the router using the Ethernet cable (in which case
skip to step ).
If you specified ‘Wireless’, the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the
name of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.
To enterthe SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Folder Up or Down, Left
or Right on the remote control and Select buttons. The radio scrolls through the available
characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be
entered when you press theSelect button.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is
sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up
in your router. The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions.
You can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then use the Folder Up or Down
and Select buttons on the remote control as needed:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
select ‘ ’ when the complete SSID has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your
wireless network. This should be the same as specified in your router settings. If your network
does not use encryption, then select the ‘Open’ option. Your radio should then connect to the
network, so skip to step . If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the
‘Pre-Shared Key’ option then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi
Protected Access) – see step 9.
If you chose ‘Pre-Shared Key’ in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The
key should be entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 0
characters long for 6-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 28-bit encryption. The radio
willaccept lower-case letters a-f as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols
are not permitted in WEP keys.
