Before You Begin

If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to use as a server, setting up your Squeezebox Duet should take about 30 minutes.

To make the set up as simple as possible, there are a few things you should do.

Choose Your Network Setup

Installing your new Squeezebox Duet is easier if you know how your home network is set up, so you can follow the correct installation instructions. There are three possible configurations:

•An “all-wireless”installation, where you already have a wireless network in your home and you will connect both Squeezebox Controller and Squeezebox Receiver to it.

•A “hybrid” installation, where you have both a wireless and wired network in your home, and you will be connecting Squeezebox Controller wirelessly and Squeezebox Receiver with an ethernet cable.

•A “bridged” installation, used when you only have a wired network. In this configuration, Squeezebox Receiver is connected to your network with an ethernet cable, and Squeezebox Controller uses the Receiver as a “bridge” back to your network.

Find Your Wireless Network Settings

This section applies only if you will be setting up Squeezebox Duet to connect to your existing wireless network in an all-wirelessor a hybrid installation. Gathering information about your network now will make the set up process easier.

Network name (SSID): __________________________________

Security Key: __________________________________________

If your network is secured, you will need to enter the security key when you set up your network music system.

Squeezebox Duet supports the most common types of security keys used on 802.11 wireless networks: WEP (64- and 128-bit), WPA, and WPA2.

It is important that you have the security key ready before you start.
