Hardware & Software Installation
Hardware Installation:
If you prefer to use Ethernet for wired network connection, please
plug in your Ethernet cable to the LAN (RJ45) port.
Please plug in the DC power adapter to the outlet and the DC
power jack carefully.
To operate the device, you can use the supplied remote control.
Software Installation:
AIREC01F can work as a stand-alone device or as a media
streamer of a media server. As a stand-alone unit, you can use it
to listen to Internet radio and external USB storage/MP3 players.
No computer is needed.
For digital music files that are stored in your computer, you need
to install streaming server software in the computer so that
AIREC01F can request the streaming service from that server.
AIREC01F is compliant to UPnP protocol. It works with media
server software such as Microsoft Windows Media Player 11
(WMP11), Microsoft Media Connect 2.0 (WMC2.0), and Music-
match Jukebox. Once you have the software installed on the
computer, you can stream your music collection to AIREC01F.
Please find Appendix A and B in the manual for instructions on
how to connect AIREC01F to your computer via WMP11, and
WMC2.0.
Configure as a Wireless Client
The factory default mode is the wireless client code. According to
the availability of an Ethernet cable, the device will automatically
select a suitable client mode to operate. User can also manually
change the setting of network configuration through the Setup
menu “Setup/Advanced Setup/Configure Network”.
AIREC01F will connect wirelessly if it detects an 802.11b/g
wireless network. With no Ethernet cable attached, you just need
to power on the device and AIREC01F will automatically enter
the wireless client mode.
To connect AIREC01F to the wireless network for the first time,
you will need to set the encryption key for a secured network.
Once the setting is finished, the device will remember the related
settings and try to connect to the designated AP when it is power
on next time. However, if there is something trouble in connecting
to the designated AP, the device will show the AP list screen for
you to configure again
