TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem | Cause | Solutions |
---|---|---|
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi network | Network down | 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 you firewall is not blocking any outgoing ports. As a minimum the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports
80,443 and 8008, DNS port 53.
Router restricts access to listed MAC addresses| Obtain the MAC address from Configuration > Information > Network > Wi – Fi MAC and add 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 distance to 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 encryption method on router. The radio supports
WEP, WPA, WPA2
Firewall preventing access| 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| | • 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 not large enough.
• 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• The link on the radio is out of date.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.
No sound| | • Adjust the volume level of the external powered speaker.
• Please check if the power of the external powered speaker is
switched on.
Radio got freeze or no response| | Carry out a reset as follow:
On the radio unit, press the and buttons together until
the radio is off (screen is blank), then release both buttons.
HELPFUL TIPS
1. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
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.
2. 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.
3. My radio is working but some stations cannot be played.
