6. Turn on your SoundBridge by plugging the power cord into the right side of the device,
then into the wall AC outlet. Verify that the screen displays the Roku logo.
7. Upon startup, SoundBridge will at tempt to connect to any wireless access point within
range that does not require a password. If your home wireless network re quires no
password and there are no other wireless networks in the vicinit y (such as those spilling
over from a neighbor’s house), then your SoundBridge should a utomatically connect with
no additional conguration, and you will see a list of music servers on your n etwork to
connect to.
However, it’s possible you will need to congure your wireless network as described be low:
- If your SoundBridge detects more than one available wireless n etwork, then you will
need to congure SoundBridge’s Wi-Fi set tings. Choose “System Conguration” from
the main menu, and then select “Select Wi -Fi SSID & Password.” You will then see a list
of available wireless networks. If you see your desired net work, select it. If you don’t se e
the desired network, make sure that your wireless router is within range and that it is
functioning properly.
- Some wireless networks don’t “advertise” themselves (a .k.a., “closed networks” ). If your
wireless access point is functioning properly but you do not see the net work listed, you
should enter your wireless network name by selecting “Speci fy a wireless network...”
(Refer to your wireless access point’s documentation or utility so ftware if you don’t know
the name of your wireless network.)
- Next, your SoundBridge will ask you whether the wireless connec tion requires a
password. If you do not have a wireless password, select “No” and skip to the n ext
section. If you do have a wireless password, select “Yes.” Read the instruc tions on the
screen to determine what type of wireless password you have on your networ k. If you
are unsure, you may wish to refer to your wireless router documentation. (See hints
below for help nding your wireless access point’s password.)
- Select “OK” to reboot the unit. Upon restarting, Sou ndBridge should automatically
connect to the network you have specied.
If the connection is successful, all the available music libraries will be lis ted on your screen. Use
the up and down arrows on your remote to navigate to your desired library and press Selec t to
begin browsing your music library.
Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Setup
If you have problems connecting to the SoundBridge to your music library v ia Wi-Fi, please
check the following:
1. Are the LED lights lit up inside the CompactFlash Wi -Fi adapter? If not, your card is not
receiving power. Make sure the SoundBridge is powered on (the LED screen is lit).
Remove and re-insert the CF card with the lab el facing away from you. It should require
gentle pressure to be inserted into the CF slot.
2. Is SoundBridge within range of your wireless net work signal? Performance varies
depending on wireless network hardware, physical barriers such as w alls, and signal
interference.
3. Is your computer on and your wireless access point plugged in?
4. Is your music server software running o n your computer? Are your music sharing options
enabled? (See page 11.)
5. Did you enter your password correctly (if you have one ), including case sensitive
characters?
