StreamNet™ Internet Radio Streaming vTuner™ Internet Radio to DigiLinX™/ VIEW™ Products Setup Manual ™ AVoIP™
Introduction PRODUCT OVERVIEW The vTuner internet radio tuner for StreamNet provides the leading gateway technology to connect your StreamNet products to the wide world of streamed music.
Installing and Configuring the vTuner The vTuner is a media source and must be hosted in a TouchLinX TLA250, SpeakerLinX SL251 or SLX300. You can have more than one vTuner source in a system but each must be separately hosted so that each can independently stream audio in the system. The following screen displays show how this hosting configuration can be performed in the Dealer Setup Program.
It’s best if the entire system is set for DHCP to allow the devices receiving the streaming audio to display station art. 3 Technical Support: 800.283.
If the system is all set to enable DHCP then all station art is enabled for devices that can view it. If the entire system does not run with DHCP enabled, then you will need to set the gateway for each TLA250, SL251, or SLX300 hosting vTuner in the device’s Advanced Options screen. »» Note:The TouchLinX screens must be set to use DHCP To display station art.
On the Stream tab select vTuner from the Media Server drop-down. 5 Technical Support: 800.283.
Below is a configured TLA250 set up for vTuner. »» Note that if a TLA250, SL251, or SLX300 is going to host a vTuner it cannot host (Proxy) a stream from a Media Server or from its Local Source (Audio Port/BluePort). To put in Presets, those stations that will be accessed by a single button on the GUI, you enter the stream URL in the box above assigning it to a Preset ID.
When the Show Advanced Options button is clicked the Media Port, Control Port and Directory Server Port are displayed. Leave these at the vTuner defaults. Clicking the Hide Advanced Options button will hide these defaults. 7 Technical Support: 800.283.
A Portal Access is a useful tool for the installer using the Dealer Setup to access the vTuner Servers that will contain the information about the individual vTuners in the StreamNet installation. The dealer can use this to setup and maintain favorites listings and other features. An Access code is generated by the setup for vTuner for the device upon which it is hosted. This access code is used in the portal.
The description in the picture below describes how you can manage multiple vTuners individually or tie them all together so they all share the same Favorites list. Click on the Sign Up button to launch a browser to take you to a sign up screen. You don’t need to do this from Dealer Setup. You can get here from any browser by going to http://netstreams.vtuner.com. 9 Technical Support: 800.283.
Click on the Register here link to initially set up your account. Put that previous Access Code in here. Create an account using an E-mail (Username) and Password. Do this for all vTuners in the installation. If you use the same E-mail and Password for each vTuner you can link all their Favorites together. If each one requires its own Portal/Favorites then use a different username (email) and Password for each Access Code for each device.
This is what is seen after registering on the portal site. Here is where you manage Favorites which, if you use the same Username/Password for all vTuners, will be for all of them. 11 Technical Support: 800.283.
After vTuner is configured and selected as a streaming source for your host device, here’s what you see initially while it connects to the Internet. If you have set up Presets in Dealer Setup, then this is the next screen you see with the Presets in place.
Selecting a preset stream will automatically start streaming the audio. Here’s what you see while the stream is opening: Here’s the Stream playing. Press the Add Favorite button to add this station to your Favorites. This can also be done if the station being played is not a preset, but was selected by browsing. 13 Technical Support: 800.283.
Click/Tap anywhere in the middle of the GUI to get this screen where at the top you can change Locations, Sources, or use the Browse option to change stations. Pressing Browse takes you here. This is very much like the GUI for the other DigiLinX supported media servers. These Favorites can be added from a TL/GUI or managed from the web portal.
Pressing the Page Down button until you get to the bottom gives you an entry to the Get access code. This is what you enter in to register on the web portal so you don’t need to get this from Dealer Setup as shown. 15 Technical Support: 800.283.
From the Browse menu, or by selecting this vTuner Source when it had no Presets programmed, or if in the Presets screen by pressing MORE you would arrive at this screen presenting another way to add a Favorite. If the station playing is already a Favorite, the option would display Remove Favorite. By pushing the SEARCH button on the previous screen, you arrive at a screen to enter search terms to conduct a search on the vTuner server.
