Albrecht DR440i

1.3 WLAN antenna connector
If you have access to a wireless LAN (WLAN), screw the in-
cluded antenna onto this connector.
If possible, please ensure that the antenna is set to a vertical
position to ensure the best possible reception.
1.4 The network port
Use this port if you would like to integrate the DR440i into your
network via a wired connection. To distinguish it from the wire-
less or WLAN connection, it is frequently referred to as a LAN
or Ethernet port. The port supports data rates of 10 and 100
Mbps. To connect the DR440i to your router in this manner,
use a standard network cable (twisted pair with RJ45 plugs). To
connect it “directly” to your desktop PC or laptop, either use a
network switch or a hub. To connect the DR440i without any
intermediate devices, use a crossover cable instead of a stan-
dard network cable.
Two LEDs near the port show the status of the link: (orange) indicates a live connection to the
juncture / node; network traffic is signaled by a (green) LED (usually flickering).
1.5 The USB port
You can use this USB master port for connecting USB mass sto-
rage media, like external hard disks. The DR440i supports USB
1.x and USB2.0 storage devices. Please note that not all USB
devices can be used on this port. Keyboards and mice are not
supported, nor are external MP3 storage devices with additional
functions (USB hub, data encryption, etc.). Some MP3 players
encrypt the files stored on them and thus unfortunately also can-
not be read.
While it is not very common or well-known yet, USB devices are sometimes classified as OTG, or
On The Go. These devices are capable of exchanging data with other OTG devices.
Practical experience has shown, however, that any external storage device that supports read and
write operations like a normal hard drive under Windows can be used. The first time they are con-
nected to a Windows PC, these devices appear in the Device Manager with names such as USB
Mass Storage Device or Pendrive. FAT16 (sometimes referred to simply as FAT) and FAT32 file
systems are supported. FAT12, NTFS, the Macintosh file system and others will not work. For
more information on playing music files on external storage devices, please see the chapter about
Playback from a USB storage device.
1.6 The analog audio output & input
The line out connector on the back of the device is intended to be
connected to the Line input of a HiFi amplifier or a pair of active
speakers (speakers with built-in amplifiers). Before making the au-
dio connection to your amplifier, please make sure the volume is at
a suitable level to prevent damage to your hardware or your ears.
And the line in connector can connect to your MP3 or CD
player...etc, use DR440i as a speaker.
