1 Introduction

The AirLink101 Music Bridge is a network audio device and wireless Access Point. It allows you to stream all of your audio content from your PC to speakers in your living room or bedroom, in the glory of 5.1 surround sound.

As an audio device, AirLink101 Music Bridge is essentially a “wireless sound card”, which plays back all of your computer’s audio. This means that, unlike other wireless media players on the market, AirLink101 Music Bridge allows you to play your copyright-protected music and audio from any program.

As a full-featured wireless router, AirLink101 Music Bridge provides WPA, WPA- 2/802.11i, or WEP encryption, giving you a high level of protection for your data and privacy. The MAC Address filter prevents unauthorized devices from accessing your wireless network, and a web-based utility is provided to allow you to easily make changes to your networking settings.
