Manual network configuration - cont.

5.In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP address as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.

To enter the DNS address, press the Menu Up or Down buttons to set the value for each group of digits and then press the Select button or the Left or Right buttons (on the remote control) to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all eight groups of digits have been entered.

If you previously specifi ed 'Wired' and then 'DHCP disable', your radio should now connect to the router using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).

6.If you specifi ed 'Wireless', the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.

To enter the SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Menu Up or Down, Left or Right (on the remote control) and Select buttons. The radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Select button.

Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.

select '' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue select ' ' when the complete SSID has been entered

select ' ' to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen

7.Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless network. This should be the same as specifi ed in your router settings. If your network does not use encryption, then select the 'Open' option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the 'Pre-Shared Key' option then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.

8.If you chose 'Pre-Shared Key' in step 7, you should then choose the WEP option. The key should be entered using only the numbers 0-9and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-case letters a-fas equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys.
