Step 3. Connect to wired Router

If you want to connect to your router (AP) by a RJ45 cable, you can go to Setup / advance setting / configure network to wired client/ AP mode. (See Chapter 3.2 to do the detailed setup)

2.2 Software Installation

AIRMM02F can work as a stand-alone device or as a media streamer of a media server. As a stand-alone unit, you can use it to listen to Internet radio, FM radio, and external USB storage/MP3 players. No computer is needed.

For digital music files that are stored in your computer, you need to install streaming server software in the computer so that AIRMM02F can request the streaming service from that server.

AIRMM02F is compliant to UPnP protocol. It works with media server software such as Microsoft Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11), Microsoft Media Connect 2.0 (WMC2.0), and Musicmatch Jukebox. Once you have the software installed on the computer, you can stream your music collection to AIRMM01F.

Please find Appendix A and B for instructions on how to connect AIRMM02F to your computer via WMP11, and WMC2.0.

Chapter 3: Configuration

There are three modes of network configuration for AIRMM02F. It can be a wireless client, a wired client, or even a wireless access point (Wireless AP).

3.1 Configure as an Wireless Client

The factory default mode is the client Mode. According to the availability of an Ethernet cable, the device will automatically select a suitable client mode to operate. User can also manually change the setting of network configuration through the Setup menu “Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network”.

If there is an existing 802.11b/g wireless network in your home, this will be simplest mode to connect AIRMM02F to the existence network. User just have to power on the device, with no Ethernet cable plugged in, the device will automatically go into the wireless client mode and look for all available wireless APs (Access Points). To connect for the first time, you will need to select the AP to connect and set the correct encryption key. Once the setting is finished, the device will save the related settings and connect to the designated AP when it is power on. However, if there is problem connecting to the designated AP, the device will show the AP list screen for user to configure again.
