>> The iMedia finds my access point, but not my computer.
‧Please ensure that an UPnP server is installed on your system and that this is enabled. Depending on the distance and software, it may take several seconds before your selection is listed in the iMedia.
‧You may have MAC address filtering enabled in your router. If so, enter the MAC address of the iMedia.
in your router configuration. The address can be found on the bottom of the iMedia..
‧Your router may be configured to use fixed IPs. If so, enter an IP address in both the iMedia. and your
router.
>> My access point (SSID) is not listed.
‧The iMedia. can only find your access point if it is within range. Reduce the distance to the access point
and try again.
‧Depending on the configuration of your router, your SSID may be hidden. If so, you must enter the SSID
in the iMedia. configuration menu manually.
>> My iMedia sees several unknown access points.
If multiple access points are within range—those of your neighbors, for example—the iMedia. will list them.
Select your own access point and continue with the installation.
>> My iMedia. indicates that my network is encrypted.
Your network uses WEP encryption as protection against intruders. Enter your WEP key in the iMedia. so
that your network will recognize it as a user.
>> Where can I find my WEP key?
If you set the network up, you will have specified it yourself. Otherwise, contact your network administrator.
>> I can't receive radio streams, or the update fails.
‧Your network may be using a proxy server that you have not entered in the configuration of your
iMedia.
‧You cannot connect to the Internet. Your router must be configured so that you can establish a connection to the Internet.
‧If you are using the iMedia. with an ad hoc connection, your local computer must be connected to the
Internet and must have Internet connection sharing enabled.
>> I'm playing a music file, but I can't hear anything.
Either the iMedia is muted, or the volume is so low that you can't hear anything. Turn up the volume and/or
press the Mute button. Ensure that the connected stereo or speaker system is powered up.
>> The radio stream is interrupted suddenly.
You may have a throughput problem with your Internet connection. Sometimes the problem is also with the
station itself. Switch to a different station and try again.
>> Playback stops abruptly.
This may be due to a communication problem. It can be the result of radio interference, being out of range, or problems with your server or router. Reboot your system and try again.
>> My computer/iMedia has found an unknown ad hoc network.
An additional ad hoc network is in operation in your vicinity. Should you have problems with your configuration, please ensure that the option to automatically connect with non-preferred networks is disabled in the network settings. Disable and re-enable your network connection.
>> My computer cannot be found when switching from ad hoc to network mode (or back).
Restart the music server and your iMedia. Your computer will then be recognized again.
>> How can I make subsequent changes to my configurations?
Press the network button on your remote control to open the configuration menu, in which you can
modify a wide range of settings.
>> How should I proceed with a manual IP configuration?
Press the "Network" button to open the configuration menu. Launch the wizard, select "Next" and select your access point as usual. The "Static IP address" option must be selected in the IP settings. In the next step, enter the IP address. Finish the setup with the proxy settings as usual and apply them.
>> Can I check all of my settings?
Yes, by selecting "Status" in the configuration menu. The full range of information and settings related to
your current configuration is displayed here.
>> I would like to set up another profile for a different location. Is that possible?
Yes, the "Profile selection" item is located in the configuration menu. You can create three personal profiles here that will be stored in the iMedia and which can be selected whenever you need them.
>> What's the maximum range?
The range is around 300 m outdoor. Walls and furniture reduce the range significantly indoors. The
weather and barometric pressure is a further factor. The alignment of the antenna of your access point or
network adapter is also important. Taking all of these factors into account, a range of 30-100 m should be
possible indoors.
>> Is the data communication truly secured? Does the iMedia represent a security risk for my network?
If your network is WPA-encrypted, data communication between it and the router will be just as secure as
with any other client. The iMedia therefore does not represent a potential point of attack for hackers.
>> Is it possible to read or view other data on my hard drive?
No, the iMedia can only access data shared by the UPnP server. This is the sole route the iMedia can use
for accessing your files, so nothing else on your computer will be visible or transferred.
>> Which communication standards does the iMedia support?
iMedia supports IEEE 802.11b networks at 11 Mbps as well as IEEE 802.11g at 54 Mbps.
>> What are the iMedia 's power requirements?
The iMedia requires an operating voltage of +12V DC at 1500mA—which corresponds to the included power
Adaptor.
>> Is wireless data communication a health hazard?
Due to its very low power levels, WLAN data communication is less critical than the radiation from cellphones.
As it does with cellphone radiation, however, the density of the radiation and the nature of the room also play a role in this respect.
