Setting up a Wireless Network

Having physically set up your player, you will need to configure your wireless network in the player Setup menu to be able to communicate with the rest of your network. To do this, please press the SETUP button to enter the Setup menu, select the network tab in the menu and change the settings according to the procedure described below:

Network Interface: Select “Wireless” from this menu to acknowledge that you would like to use a wireless network.

Wireless Authentication: The Wireless Authentication menu item allows you to set the type of encryption used on your wireless network. Encryption is used to keep data exchange between your player and the rest of your network scrambled. This is done in order to protect you from exposing of personal or sensitive information to other wireless users in the vicinity. For the player to be able to communicate with your wireless network, the encryption will need to be set to exactly the same in the player as on the wire- less router or access point you will be connecting to. If the wireless router/access point is running with no encryption, your player should be set accordingly. However, KiSS recommends that you always use encryption on your wireless network, so if possible please have your router set to WEP encryption and enable WEP encryption on your player accordingly. If you do not know what type of encryption is enabled (if any) in your wireless router/access point, please refer to its manual on how to see or set it up.

Encryption Key: If you are running an encrypted wireless network, all devices on your network will need to share the same encryption key in order for them to communicate. Please enter this menu item to bring up the on-screen keyboard where you will be able to enter the key you are currently using in your wireless router/access point. If you do not know which encryption key is used on your wireless router/access point, please refer to its manual for information on how to see it or set it up.

Possible errors.

-Cable problem, check that there is light in all the ports of the switch/hub

-There is a firewall installed on the Computer which blocks the ports used by KiSS PC-Link or KiSS MacLink (port 8000 must be open)

-The player and the Computer are not on the same Subnet (problem with playing video)

-Your Computer has been assigned a new IP address from the DHCP server. It may differ from the one entered in the player. (Using a static IP on the Computer will counter this) - KiSS PC-Link or KiSS MacLink have to be running for the player to access the data
