Chapter 4: Setting up the Wireless-B Media Link for Music
Overview
This chapter will describe how to set up the Media Link using the Wireless-B Media Link for Music Setup Wizard.
Linksys recommends using the Setup Wizard, which will guide you through the configuration procedure.
However, if you want to set up the Media Link using the front panel LCD screen (without a wired connection to a
computer), refer to “Chapter 5: Connecting the Wireless-B Media Link for Music to Your Audio System.”
Before setting up the Media Link, decide whether the Media Link will be connected to your wireless or wired
network AFTER you have configured it. For more information, refer to “Appendix C: Planning Your Use of the
Wireless-B Media Link for Music.”
When you run the Setup Wizard, you will be asked to install the Media Server software on your PC. You must
install this software so your PC can send music to the stereo via the Media Link.
Running the Setup Wizard
1. Insert the Setup CD-ROM into your PC’s CD-ROM drive. The Setup Wizard should run automatically, and the
Welcome screen should appear. If it does not, click the Start button and choose Run. In the field that appears,
enter D:\setup.exe (where “D” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
• Setup - Click the Setup button to begin the installation process.
• Install Media Server- Click the Install Media Server button to install the Media Server on your PC. (You
will also be asked to install the Media Server at the end of the Setup Wizard.)
• Media Services- Click the Media Services button to sign up for a free trial of the Rhapsody subscription
service or visit vTuner’s website for more information. (The Media Services screen also appears during
the Setup Wizard.)
• User Guide - Click the User Guide button to open the PDF file of this User Guide.
• Exit - Click the Exit button to exit the Setup Wizard.
2. To install the Media Link, click the Setup button on the Welcome screen.

If you network has a router or other DHCP server, select Automatic for the Network Setting, and click Next.
If the Media Link requires a static IP address, select Static IP for the Network Setting. Enter a unique IP
Address that is in the range of IP addresses appropriate for your network. In the Subnet Mask, Default
Gateway, and DNS Server fields, enter the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway address, and DNS Server address of
your network; all devices on your network must use the same Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS
Server. You must specify an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Server for the Media Link on
this screen if it will use a static IP address. Then click Next.
NOTE: If you set a static IP address on the Media Link, then you may also need to set a static IP
address on your PC. For instructions, refer to Windows Help.

a computer or device connected to a network.
If you will connect the Media Link to your PC or router wirelessly AFTER configuration, then the Basic Wireless
Settings screen will appear.
The Mode setting shows a choice of two wireless modes. Select Infrastructure if you want the Media Link to
communicate using an access point or wireless router. Select Ad-Hoc if you want the Media Link to
communicate directly with a wireless PC.
In the SSID field, enter your wireless network’s SSID or name. This is the unique name shared by all devices in
a wireless network. The SSID is case-sensitive and should have 32 characters or fewer.
If your network uses WEP encryption, select Enable. If not, select Disable, and go to step 10.
Click Next.
