While in Safe Mode, your stored settings will not be recalled. Therefore, you will be prompted to enter your language and Wi-Fi region again. If you need to update the software on your SoundBridge, you will also need to select a network and enter the WEP key (if needed) or use SD card mode.

In Safe Mode, SoundBridge goes directly into the System Configuration menu, with options limited to checking for software update and resetting factory defaults. The Roku logo is displayed next to the menu with “Safe Mode” superimposed on it, like the startup animation.

Roku Control Protocol (RCP)

SoundBridge supports a sophisticated control protocol called the Roku Control Protocol (RCP). Look for third party applications that run on your PC, Mac, or PDA that allow remote Wi-Fi control of your SoundBridge using RCP. If you are a developer, see the Community tab on our web site for more information. There, you can find links to third-party software and discussion of controlling SoundBridge in our user Forums (look for the Control Forum.) A link to the forums can be found in the support tab on our web site.

Geeks — Read This

The SoundBridge has a command line interface that you can “telnet” to for piddling about. You will need to telnet to port 4444. You can quickly get to a Telnet prompt by going to the built-in web page’s “Status” tab and clicking on the SoundBridge’s IP address. Type “?” at the command prompt to see a list of commands. See the developer section of our web site for more details, including the RCP remote control protocol.

SoundBridge has a built-in UPnP AV “media renderer.” This protocol can be used to control the SoundBridge from your own software. Please watch the developer section of our web site for updates on this feature.
