2.1.2.Configuration as a Wireless Client
There are three network configuration modes available for the IP Radio device: simple wireless client, wired client, or wireless access point (AP).
The factory default mode is the client mode. If an Ethernet cable is available, the device will automatically select a suitable client mode to operate. Users can also manually change the network configuration settings via the Setup menu "Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network".
If you have a 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, this mode is the most straightforward means of connecting the IP Radio device to the existing network.
Simply power the device, without connecting an Ethernet cable, and the device will automatically switch to the wireless client mode and detect all available wireless APs (Access Points). The first time the device is set to the wireless client mode, you need to determine which AP to connect to and enter the encryption key. Once the settings have been established, the device will remember the settings and attempt to connect to the designated AP when it is switched on. However, if you encounter any difficulty in connecting to the designated AP, the device will display the AP list for you to configure the device once again.
