•Confirm that a Wi-Fi or |
Ethernet Wired connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web)
using the same network.
•Check that a DHCP server is available, or that you have configured a static
IP address on the radio.
•Check that your firewall is not blocking
any outgoing ports. As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports
80,554.1755,5000 and 7070.
Router restricts access to listed MAC addresses| Obtain the MAC address from
Configuration > information > Network > Wi-Fi MAC and add it to the allowed
equipment list on your access point.
Note: The radio has separate MAC addresses for wired and wireless networks;
Insufficient Wi-Fi signal strength| •Check the distance to the router; see if
a computer can connect to the network in this location
•Optimize the distance of the router’s location
Unknown encryption method| Change the encryption method on the router.
The radio supports WEP, WPA, WPA2
Firewall preventing access| Check the following ports are open: UDP and TCP
ports 80 and 123; DNS port 53. Windows Media Player: varies – non-Microsoft
firewalls may require configuration for UPnP.
If your radio can connect to the network successfully but is unable to play
particular stations| not large enough.| •The station is not broadcasting at
this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone).
•The station has too many people trying to attach to the radio station server
and the server capacity is n
•The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners.
•The link on the radio is out of date. This is updated automatically every
day, so the next time you turn on the link will be recognized.
If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio stations:
The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your
broadband connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband
connection, or the connection is intermittent, then it will cause the
Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-established and it has
received enough data to start playing again. If your Internet Radio keeps
stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that the Broadband line is not
suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing these
problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small
amount of the stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any
gaps in the stream that may occur if the internet or the wireless network is
busy.
The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If
a stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it
may stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this happens, check your
internet connection speed- it must be faster than the speed of the streams.
