If you’re not familiar with your wireless network’s security method or your security key, this information can be obtained by connecting to your wireless router.

See your router’s instructions if necessary, or contact your network provider or the party who installed your wireless router.

Your wireless network’s name can be determined by using a computer on your network that’s already connected to your wireless network.

For Windows XP and Vista

Double click on the wireless networking icon in the system tray.

For Mac OS X

Click on the wireless networking icon on the menu bar and make note of which network has a check mark next to it.

Note to Apple Airport Base Station users: Squeezebox Boom follows the 802.11 standard and expects the WEP key to be in hexadecimal format.The Airport Base Station uses ASCII characters for the WEP key. You’ll need to find the hexadecimal version of your WEP key to configure your Squeezebox Duet. To do that, please follow these steps:

Open the Airport Admin Utility. On Mac OS X this utility can be found under Applications -> Utilities in the Finder. In Windows, it can be found in Start -> Programs -> Airport Admin Utility.

Select your base station and click the “Configure” button.

Once the Configuration window is open, click the “Password” icon at the top

of the window (the icon resembling a padlock). This will show you the key in HEX format. Write that down as the Security Key on the previous page.

Note: 64-bit WEP keys on the Airport Base Station will have exactly 5 characters; 128-bit keys will have exactly 13 characters.

An Important Word About Music Sources

Squeezebox Boom must be connected to a music source in order to function. There are two music sources available: SqueezeNetwork™ and SqueezeCenter™.

SqueezeNetwork

SqueezeNetwork is a free, Internet-based service provided by Logitech. It allows you to connect to a wide variety of services, including Internet radio guides and online music services, like Rhapsody®, Sirius Internet Radio, and Pandora® Radio. You can even store your own music collection in an online MP3tunes music locker so you can listen to your music when your computer is turned off.

Please note that some music services may charge a separate fee for use; we provide free trials so you may try them first.

SqueezeCenter (Optional)

SqueezeCenter is an application you run on a computer connected to your local network to deliver your personal music collection to the Squeezebox players in your home. You can also connect to Internet radio guides and online music services via SqueezeCenter.

If you are not interested in listening to your personal music collection, or if you are planning to upload your music to an MP3tunes music locker, you do not need SqueezeCenter.

Set Up A SqueezeNetwork Account

Signing up for a free account on SqueezeNetwork is a vital part of the Squeezebox Boom setup process. To sign up, visit www.squeezenetwork.com and use the sign-up wizard.

If you already have an account, instructions for adding your new Squeezebox Boom to your account can be found later in this guide.
