Notes: 1. When the McAire is connected to a router
(and your computer is also connected to the
router) the McAire has the ability to playback
music via the Apple iTunes Program on the
Computer.
2. When your McAire is connected to a Wired
Network and you are only interested in play-
ing music via Apple iTunes AirPlay from your
computer, then proceed to page 20 “How to
Operate the McAire”, as no setup is required.
The purpose of setting up the McAire is to estab-
lish which Wireless Network Router the McAire will
be communicating with (WiFi). The instructions sup-
plied with the Wireless Network Router and its current
settings (including its MAC Address or unique name)
will be helpful.
It is highly recommended to contact your McIntosh
Dealer and/or Computer Dealer for assistance in the
installation and configuring a Network Router and/
or a Home Computer Network. Your Dealer has the
necessary knowledge to properly set up the McAire as
part of your Home Network wired or wireless.
There are several different methods for setting up
the McAire for AirPlay®. Choose the method which is
most appropriate for your installation. The following
is a description of the three methods:
How to Setup the McAire for AirPlay® and a Network Connection
Your McIntosh McAire is factory configured for
immediate enjoyment of superb audio from an iPod
Touch or iPhone (Mobile Device). Just connect it to
the McAire iPod/USB Rear Panel Connector using
your Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable. Refer to
page 20 “How to Operate the McAire” for additional
information using the USB Input.
If you wish to use AirPlay® between an Apple Mo-
bile Device and the McAire, a Wireless Network Rout-
er (WiFi) will be required. Figures 1, 2 and 3 are just a
few examples of the many possible Network Setups.
