V. Connecting SoundBridge to AC Power
If you plan to use an Ethernet connection, be sure the cable is plugged i n to the unit. Plug the
power cord into the SoundBridge unit, and plug the other end into to a wall outlet.
Hint: There is no power switch to turn on SoundBridge. A s soon as you plug in the power,
you should quickly see the welcome message “Roku SoundBridg e.” If not, please stop and
ensure that your power cable is connected properly on both ends.
Vi. Using Your Remote Control
The SoundBridge remote control is an infrared remote, so it needs “line of sight ” to
SoundBridge in order to operate. Point the remote in the direction of your Sound Bridge,
and make sure that the IR receiver window is not blocked by another object..
Vii. Establishing a Network Connection
Note: Do not plug in an Ethernet cable if you plan to use your wi -fi network to avoid confusion
in the setup of the device. Also, if you plan to use an Ethernet connection, make sure the cabl e
is connected before powering up the device.
Wired Ethernet Network: Afte r you have connected SoundBridge to your computer via a
switch/hub/router (or directly to your computer via cross over cable) and powered up the unit,
SoundBridge will auto-configure its network set tings (using DHCP or AutoIP). There is nothing
you need to do. If for some reason you have trouble connecting to your network , select the
“System Configuration” option, then select “Show Wired Ethernet Status .”
Wireless Network: If you have an open and visibl e Wi-Fi network in your home (one which
broadcasts its name, and which has no security keys set) then Soun dBridge will auto-connect
to your wireless network. However, you will be asked to enter your network’s name (SSID ) if:
- SoundBridge detects more than one Wi-Fi netwo rk (as some advanced users have in their
home, or if your neighbor’s signal is leaking over), or
- Your Wi-Fi network does not broadcast its name (for securit y reasons)
In these cases, enter the SSID using the remote control. Use the left/right ◁ ▷ arrows to choos e
letters, and use the up/down △ ▽ arrows to change to Uppercase and to other cha racter sets
(numbers, international characters) and to enter “Space”, “Delete” and “OK” w hen you’re done.
SoundBridge supports networks with WEP se curity. WPA is not yet supported. If you have a
WEP security key, you will need to enter your WEP key manually into SoundBridge. This is the
same key you have entered into your Access Point and your computer. Your screen will look
something like this:
No Music Librar ies Found (Why?)
System Congur ation
Scroll down using your remote control’s Down ▽ arrow until the option “System Configuration”
is highlighted, and press Select [4] on your remote control. You will see a screen that look s like
this:
Software Ver sion & Updates
Select Wi-Fi SSID & Passwo rd
Show Wired Ether net Status
Show Wi-Fi Status
Navigate down to “Select Wi-Fi SSID & Password” and enter your wireless net work name and
password.
For additional help connecting to your network, including p assword help, see the Wi-Fi setup
section in the appendix of this guide.
