10 Frequently Asked Questions

•Can I share network drives?

oYes. You must first share the drive (using standard Windows sharing) from the PC that contains the multimedia content you want access to. Then go to the host PC where the Musicmatch Jukebox UPnP Server software is installed. Map the shared drive, then open the MusicLibrary and add the content from the mapped network drive as if it were on your local hard drive.

•What happens if I share several gigs of multimedia content?

oThe Musicmatch Jukebox application may take some time to share very large directories of content. This highly depends on the speed of your host PC. You can however access multimedia that was already shared while you wait for the program to update the SMCWAA-B Wireless Audio Adapter.

•What happens if there is interference in my environment?

oInterference affects the wireless signal of the SMCWAA-B as it would any other wireless networking device and the performance may be adversely affected. You should attempt to minimize interference in your network environment as much as possible.

oYes. You simply need to go through the standard process of adding them to the Musicmatch MusicLibrary as if they were stored on your local hard drive. (See Section 4, Step 5)

•Can I use two or more SMCWAA-B Wireless Audio Adapters on my network?

oYes. You can have up to 10 SMCWAA-B devices running at the same time on your wireless network.

•Can I have more than one host PC simultaneously running the Musicmatch Jukebox UPnP Server software on one network?

oYes. You can have up to 10 UPnP Servers running at the same time on your network.

A wireless LAN does not require lining up devices for line of sight transmission like IrDA. Wireless access points (base stations) are connected to an Ethernet hub or server and transmit a radio frequency over an area of several hundred to a thousand feet which can penetrate walls and other non-metal barriers.
