collection—enormous, well sorted by origin and genre, constantly updated, and com-
pletely independent of any computer or iPod!
Digital Media Player (playback from a UPnP server)
You can share music les for playback in your network using server software running on
a computer or other device. The A540+ requires a UPnP-compatible server (UPnP: Uni-
versal Plug and Play) to provide it with les. A simple Windows le share is not readable.
Unlike inexible static le shares, the A540 offers a exible sorting via a virtual UPnP
media server that improves the exibility of your collection—a track can be found via the
artist, genre, album or the folder structure. And don’t worry—”setting up a server” is not
as much work as it was just a few short years ago. Just launch the UPnP media server
software and you’re ready to go!
One advantage: you can run multiple UPnP servers within the same network—no need
for Dad to listen to Sis’ tunes or vice-versa. Each active UPnP server appears separately
in the NOXON menu for fast, easy access.
Windows
Windows Media Player
(Version 11 or 12) is the
simplest way to add such
a server, since it already
has this service built in.
Via the “Stream” menu
item, select the “Turn on
media streaming” func-
tion.
In the following dialogue
you now have to enable
this service explicitly and
then activate the corre-
sponding devices, if you
have multiple receivers.
Now the NOXON A540+
can access the music
data in your library.
Apple
Unfortunately Apple does not supply any UPnP program itself, so it is necessary to rely
on a third-party supplier.
Elgato offers a solution with its EyeConnect software. This is available for free as a trial
version and can be used with the full range of its functions (including video streaming)
