Operation Manual

NOXON
4 - The first time: switching on the NOXON.
To start the NOXON, press the ON/OFF button on the NOXON itself marked with the icon.
Note: If you have just connected the power adapter and are now trying to turn the device on, don't get nerv-
ous if nothing happens at first. It takes several seconds before the NOXON can be switched on after it has
been connected for the first time to an AC power source.
When switching the device on for the first time, it will display a language selection dialog. The selection
applies to the menus and operating system messages of the NOXON; not to the contents it accesses (e.g. on
the Internet).
4.1 The network configuration wizard
When switching it on for the first time, the NOXON network device does not yet have any information about
the possible network environments from which it will be getting its content. After switching it on for the first
time and selecting a language, the Configuration Wizard will be displayed automatically.
As in other NOXON menus, press the right arrow button for “Next/OK”
and the left arrow button for “Back/Cancel”.
The following chapter describes how to configure access, both for
wired and wireless network integration.
If you are not satisfied with the way things are working after running
the Wizard, you can run it again by pressing the
button to open
the configuration menu and selecting the Configuration Wizard menu
item.
4.2 Wired or radio?
The NOXON is designed to play files located on a network, either the Internet or the your home network.
Two options are available for integrating the device into a network:
a wired connection
(Ethernet, LAN)
Use a standard network cable to connect the device
to a router, switch or hub—to connect it to your PC
directly, use a crossover cable.
Via a wireless
connection
(WLAN, Wi-Fi)
A wireless connection uses a radio link to an access
point, router or computer.
If both are available, the motto applies: faster is better. Well, in most situations, anyway—and certainly
when it comes to networks. To ensure reliable playback without interruptions, the NOXON automatically
selects the faster connection when powering up.
This means: if a network cable is plugged in and a 'link' is available (orange LED lit), the NOXON will
always favor it over the wireless link.
