Troubleshooting

If you experience any trouble with your Internet radio, then you may find it useful to visit the help section on our web site at

If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your computer network, some of these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1.Confirm that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network.

2.Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured your radio to use DHCP. Your radio will by default use DHCP. This may be configured using the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System setup' -> 'Internet setup' -> 'Manual settings'. This will ask first whether you wish to configure a wired or a wireless connection. For either wired or wireless you then need to choose 'DHCP enable' or 'DHCP disable'. If you enable DHCP then the radio will negotiate with your router (or DHCP server) and will be provided with an IP address as well as the other settings needed. If you wish to set the network configuration completely manually, refer to paragraph 6.

3.Check that your network’s firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80 and 123. Port 53 may be required for DNS. Some Internet radio services may require additional ports to be open. The use of Windows Shares requires access to UDP and TCP ports 135 - 139 and 445. Windows Media Player 11 will allocate a port number for UPnP media sharing and will configure Microsoft's Windows built-in firewall appropriately. Other firewall software may require configuration for UPnP or to allow particular IP addresses to have trusted access.

4.Check that your access point does not restrict connections to particular MAC addresses (sometimes called MAC address filtering).

You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System setup' -> 'Internet setup' -> 'View settings' -> 'MAC address'. Note that the WM-202 radio has both wired and wireless MAC addresses. These are identical except for the first octet.

A wireless MAC address will typically be of the form

00:13:E0:xx:xx:xx

A wired MAC address will typically be of the form

02:13:E0:xx:xx:xx

5.If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the correct encryption key into the radio. Remember that text-format WPA keys are case sensitive. If your radio displays 'Network error' when attempting to connect to an encrypted network, then please ensure that you enter the correct key for the network. If the problem persists, then you may need to consult your network configuration.

6.If you need to set up your radio's IP address manually, you will need to know low-level details of your network's configuration. Use the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System setup' -> 'Internet setup' -> 'Manual settings' -> 'Wired' or 'Wireless' (as needed) -> 'DHCP disable'.

The radio will then prompt you in turn for the

Ethernet IP address Ethernet Subnet mask Ethernet Gateway address Ethernet Primary DNS Ethernet Secondary DNS

For each of these parameters has four groups of digits. For each group use the Tuning/Select control to select the value needed (from 0 to 255) and press the control to enter.

If you are setting up a wireless connection manually you will also need to enter the ESSID, the encryption type, and the encryption key.
