SERVERS
A FireBall Server is a Fireball media management system that is capable of “serving” media to other FireBalls over a network. The FireBall is a
considered a “server” product.
CLIENTS
A FireBall Client is a FireBall that can play media from a FireBall Server over a network. Currently there are three different FireBall products that
can play media from FireBall servers:
• Another FireBall SEi
• Home PC or Mac
• Client-Server networking is limited to the same local subnet. You can not stream over the Internet unless you have a VPN setup between the
two FireBalls.
• Only MP3 and FLAC audio files can be streamed to clients.
• You may have an unlimited number of clients on the network, but you can only stream to 4 clients simultaneously.
• Internet Radio can not be streamed (but it is available on most standalone products).
