Configuring your MusicCAST client manually
Usually, the Auto Configuration functions of the MusicCAST server and client will enable you to
successfully connect all of your MusicCAST components. However, you can also use the screens detailed in
this section to configure the MusicCAST network manually if necessary. This section of this manual (see
pages 25
–
34) explains how to set each network parameter in the MusicCAST client.
Carry out the following actions, before attempting to configure your MusicCAST client:
•
If you wish to connect to a MusicCAST server over a wireless network, check that the MusicCAST client
is close enough to the server to receive a wireless network signal (see page 25 for details)
•
Check that the MusicCAST client is connected to an AC adaptor that is connected to an AC outlet
•
Turn the MusicCAST server power on
•
Turn the MusicCAST client power on
Confirm that the following have been set on the MusicCAST server:
•
The Client IDs of all of the MusicCAST clients that you wish to use on the network (See pages 66, 67 for
an explanation of how to check the Client ID of your MusicCAST client)
•
The ESSID of the wireless network, if you plan to use wireless network connections
•
The Subnet Mask address
•
The WEP key
To configure the client you must set the parameters listed below from the Network menu. The order
in which you set the parameters is unimportant, but you should ensure that you carry out each
procedure correctly.
•
Network mode
•
ESS ID
•
Server ID
•
IP Address (for the MusicCAST client)
(This is not necessary if you are using the MusicCAST client in a
network with a component acting as a DHCP server, or if your MusicCAST server is set to act as a DHCP
server)
•
WEP key
•
Subnet Mask
Note
•
The MusicCAST server and MusicCAST client only function correctly if they are under the same subnet
running under one or more network hubs.
