Manual network configuration - cont. 5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name System) will be set to the same IP address as your router (192.168.1.1 in the example shown). In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero. Text entry is described in previous section ‘Text entry screens’. Touch the tick symbol to confirm. If you previously specified 'Wired' and then 'DHCP No', your radio should now connect to the router using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).
Manual network configuration - cont. 9. WPA and WPA2 are similar, although WPA2 offers a higher level of security. Whichever you selected in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). As previously, the setting should match that used by your router. Some routers allow both to be specified, and the router will use whichever variant is supported by the connected device.
Internet Radio Internet Radio - the basics Before you can use your internet radio to listen to broadcasts via the Internet, it is necessary to have connected it to your computer network using either the wireless (WiFi) connection or the wired Ethernet connection (RJ-45 socket) located on the back of the unit.
