12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  6   Introduction Your Soundbridge radio is equipped to not only let you listen to AM/FM and Internet radio; it also lets you listen to music libraries connected to your wireless network. There are two snooze alarms and you can reconfigure the display with your remote control or through the Roku web page. Your SoundBridge R1000 is not a typical table-top radio. The advanced speaker system has been designed by audio legend Dr. Godehard Guenther, and delivers unusually transparent and powerful audio from a system of this size. You may find when listening to highly-compressed digital music (like 128kbps MP3or Internet Radio) that the speaker system reveals the audio limitations in the source material quite clearly.  This is not a flaw of the system, but rather a demonstration of the accurate audio reproduction possible with the R1000. Higher-bit rate audio (192kbps or greater) using advanced codecs like AAC and WMA should sound very pleasing. For specific audio format, stereo speakers, subwoofer, protocols supported and server requirements please see “Technical Specifications” in the Appendices.  Before You Begin There are a few things we recommend before you get started using your Soundbridge Radio. First check the contents in your Soundbridge Radio package, secondly, we strongly recommend that you read all the safety instructions and lastly, read about music servers and the SoundBridge Radio software music requirements so you can choose which server that best meets your needs.   Package Contents Before proceeding, check your package and verify that you received the following items: • The Roku Soundbridge Radio  • Remote control (two AAA batteries included) • Power cord • External AM antenna • External FM antenna • User guide  I placed the following illustration instead of an illustration showing the contents of the package like they do with Bose documentation – you know best.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  7    Important Safety Information We recommend that you read the regulated “S afety Information” in the Appendices of this user guide. Music Servers The Soundbridge Radio is a networked music player. That is, it doesn’t store any music. It plays files that you have stored on a computer connected to your home network. To play the music files stored on your computer, the Soundbridge Radio needs to receive data from software installed on the computer that “serves” the music. This “music server” is responsible for streaming the music to the Soundbridge Radio. It is also responsible for sending the list of music you have available to the Soundbridge Radio (when asked), and performing searches of the music library at SoundBridge’s Radio request. You probably already have a music server but perhaps didn’t realize it. For example, iTunes acts as a music server when it shares music to another iTunes user on the network. Microsoft has released its own music server, Windows Media Connect. The most common music servers are iTunes, Windows Media Connect, and Rhapsody. But there are others. If you want to use a PlaysForSure music service, you must use Windows Media Connect. If you want to use the Rhapsody music service, you must use Rhapsody as your music server. There is no standard for music servers. They are almost all different. One of the benefits of Soundbridge Radio is that it supports all the common servers out there with an easy-to-use interface. Note: For playing back Internet radio using SoundBridge’s “Radio Favorites” library, you don’t need a music server, because Soundbridge Radio receives the radio stream directly from the Internet.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  8   Music Servers & SoundBridge Radio Features  The Roku Soundbridge Radio acts as a remote client for several kinds of music libraries, including Windows Media Connect, Rhapsody, Musicmatch and iTunes. You can also play WMA (Windows Media Audio) and DRM WMA files purchased from popular online music stores such as Napster™. See the following table for music server details.   Select a music server that is compatible with your Soundbridge Radio. Compatible music servers include iTunes, ®  Microsoft® Windows® Media Connect, Rhapsody,™ Musicmatch,® and others. See the following table. Music servers behave differently with the Soundbridge Radio user interface features.  To experience the full Soundbridge Radio searching and robust browsing modes, you must use a server that supports these functions, such as iTunes or Windows Media Connect. You will find that some servers are not equipped for the Soundbridge Radio search feature and that the browse mode varies by server.   Music Server Recommended for Users of . . . Notes Windows Media Connect (UPnP Windows Media DRM 10 protocols) Windows XP with SP2 A free media server from Microsoft. Works with any music jukebox, but optimized for Windows Media Player v.10. Supports SoundBridge’s full Browse, Search and Display feature set. Plays: WMA, DRM WMA, WMA Lossless, MP3, WAV, playlists created in jukebox software such as Windows Media Player 10. iTunes (Bonjour, formerly known as Rendezvous, for discovery; iTunes DAAP for communication) PC/Mac (1) A free music server and jukebox software from Apple. Plays: AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF (no support for protected AAC iTunes Music Store files). Also plays playlists and Smart Playlists created in iTunes.

Rhapsody (UPnP and proprietary Rhapsody protocol) Rhapsody Subscribers Server required for Rhapsody Music Service, which includes access to popular music and Internet radio. Musicmatch Jukebox(UPnP AV protocol) Windows 98 SE/Me/XP/2000 (SP3 or above) Very popular jukebox software and music service. Has a built-in UPnP AV server supported by SoundBridge. You can also use Windows Media Connect with Musicmatch, which is more feature-rich.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  9   Plays: WMA, MP3, WAV (DRM WMA and Musicmatch playlists supported only if using Windows Media Connect Server).  (1) iTunes Music Store files (“Protected AAC”) cannot be played. Digital rights-managed (DRM) files cannot yet be played using a SD/MMC card.

Soundbridge takes you to the Home menu which lists all the music libraries that are connected to your network. Only the first two lines of the Home Menu are displayed at once. The scroll bar on the right moves as you scroll below your current display view. The Home  menu display looks similar to the following:     Use the Up and Down [ ] arrows to choose one of the music libraries on your network. The [è] arrow points to each of the available options as you scroll down the list. Once you find the library you are interested in, press the Select [ ] button. A list of options will appear on the display.          The following table describes each of the music library options.

Music Library Options This section describes how to use each of the music library options. Still working on this section… Playlist Let’s say you have created a playlist of your favorite Disco hits in your music jukebox software, and named it DISCO INFERNO. Press the Home  Menu [ ] button to navigate to the Home Menu. Navigate to Playlists and press the Select [ ] button. Use your Up/Down     arrows to browse your playlists one by one, find the one called DISCO △ ▽INFERNO, then press Play [?] to play all songs on the playlist immediately or Add [+] to add the playlist to your Song Queue.

The music note   next to each song name indicates the selection is an individual track (and not a playlist, album or other collection of songs). Please note that songs purchased from the Apple Music Store will be denoted in the display with a padlock ?icon. SoundBridge is not able to play back these “locked” files — they will simply be skipped over during playback.  è?? Don’t  Panic      ?

12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  28   Browsing by Artist, Song or Composer From the Home menu, navigate to Browse and press the Select [v] button. Navigate to Browse Artists and press the Select [v] button. Your display will look something like this:  ?Annie Lennox | ? <A>     Ben Folds Five ? Find the artist you would like to play and press the Select [v] button. You will see a display listing the albums available by that artist:  ?<Show all matching songs> |  Medusa While the first menu option <All matching songs> is active, press Add [+] to add this selection to your existing Song Queue, or press Play [v ] to play all songs by this artist instead and replace your existing Song Queue.  Songs play in the order they appear on each album. Each album plays in alphabetical order.  Hint: Artist names starting with the word “the,” such as the Beatles, will be found under the first letter of the word following the word “the” — in this case, “B” for “Beatles.” You can choose specific albums or songs to play by navigating to your desired album and pressing  Add [+]  to add to an existing Song Queue, or Play to replace an existing Song Queue.  Note: if your selected album contains songs by different artists, such as compilation albums or movie soundtracks, only the song(s) by your artist will be played. Hint: To browse faster, instead of using the Up/Down arrows    , you can “speed △ ▽browse” through your lists by pressing the Left/Right arrows ? ?. This will browse by the letters of the alphabet.  Note: The search function is a string search — “RA” will return not just Radiohead but other words containing the string, such as Shakira and Franz Ferdinand. Browsing by song or composer works the same way as browsing by artist.  Browsing by Genre From the Home Menu, navigate down to the BROWSE option and press the Select [v] button. Scroll down to “Browse Genres” and press the Select [v] button. You will see an alphabetical listing of genres that are available in the music library that you are browsing. To add all songs within a Genre to your Song Queue, highlight that Genre and press Add [+] (or the Select [v] button] to open additional options for playback). To browse within a genre, such as Hip Hop/Rap, press the Select [v] button on your desired genre. You will have the option to see all available artists in that genre, and a list of individual albums by those artists. At any point, you can press Add to add that selection to your Song Queue or press the Select [v] button to navigate to the next level of detail.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  29   Hint: Information about your music, including Song Name, Artist, Album, and Genre is usually created automatically by the software you used to save your audio CD files on your computer’s hard drive (also know as ripping). This process creates data called “ID3 tags” to describe each track. If this data is missing from your audio files, they will not appear when you browse by that data category. If you need to edit your ID3 tags, or if you are not satisfied with the description of genres (or other data) assigned to your music file, it is possible to edit that data in iTunes, Windows Media Player or other supported music jukebox programs.  Note: In iTunes, select the file(s) to edit, click on File/Get info, and then click on the Info tab). Browse Server Containers This in new from when I was in the office. I came across it yesterday. I do not know what this is…placeholder  Search Options To search for a specific selection by spelling it out, you can press the Search [?] button on your remote control, or navigate down to the “Search” option from the Home Menu. Either way, you will have the following options: Search for albums Search for artists Search for titles Search keywords Press the Select [v] button on the option you would like to search with. Then, use your Left/Right ? ? arrows on the remote control to enter characters for spelling your selection and then press the Select [v] button. When you are done spelling, use the Down  button to go to the OK option and press the ▽Select [v] button. If you make a mistake, use the Down   button to go to the Delete option and press the ▽Select [v] button.  Hint: Partial spelling is OK — the Search function searches for letters anywhere in the word, as opposed to just at the beginning. For example, to search for Radiohead, you can enter any combination of letters found in the word (“RA,” “DI,” “HE,” etc.), and the results will return all Artists containing those letters (e.g., if you enter “DI” you’ll get Radiohead, India Arie, and Diana Krall). When you find the music you like, use the Add button to add it to your Song Queue. If searching for albums or artists, you can press the Select [v] button to navigate down one level to individual tracks. If an exact match is not found, your results will show an empty search.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  30   Song Queues SoundBridge Radio automatically builds a Song Queue every time you select a song or album to play. You can also have the Soundbridge Radio play a set of selections you choose. This section will tell you how to build a song queue, review a song queue and erase a song queue.   Building a Song Queue Let’s say you would now like to choose several different songs or selections to play in a row. This is called building a “Song Queue.” SoundBridge automatically builds a Song Queue every time you select a song or album to play. You can add to that list by navigating to your preferred music and pressing Add [+]. The selection will be added to the end of the current Song Queue. You may add a single song, an entire album, all songs by an artist, all songs in a genre, or any search result — just browse to the selection you prefer and press Add. For example, if you would like to play all songs by Coldplay, select the “Browse artists” option from the Home Menu/Browse option. Navigate to Coldplay in your artist list, and press Add. All songs on all albums by Coldplay will be played by album, in the order they appear on each album. For more information about browsing and searching options, see the “Browsing” and “Searching” sections later in this user guide. You have several other options for building a Song Queue. After you press Select while browsing on a song, a “Song” menu appears with the following options: • Play, starting with the selected song (and clear previous Song Queue) • Get information about the selected song • Play the selected song only (and clear previous Song Queue) • Add this song to the Song Queue (same as pressing the Add button) Note that both “play” options 1 and 3 above are “destructive”; they will clear your previously existing Song Queue. The “add” option, however, will add the selected song to the end of your existing queue. The first, “play these songs” option is described in the section above — it starts playing your album (or other browsed list), beginning with the current track.  If you choose “Play songs” on any track in your selection, the entire list is added to the Song Queue, but playback starts on the chosen track. If you have the Repeat [] option selected, the earlier tracks in the queue will play after the last song (and so on indefinitely). If you have the Shuffle [] option selected, then the chosen track will play first, followed by all the other tracks in the list in random order. The “Add song to Song Queue” option behaves similarly to the Add button— it places the current song at the end of your playlist.  You can add an almost unlimited number of songs to your Song Queue. Each selection will be played in the order it was entered (unless you have chosen to Shuffle your Song Queue).
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  31    Hint: After you have selected multiple songs to be played in turn, you can use the Next Track ?and  Previous Track ?buttons to skip from song to song in your Song Queue.  Reviewing a Song Queue At any point, you can review your Song Queue by pressing the down arrow ?from the Now Playing screen, which is the default screen that appears while SoundBridge is playing. The Now Playing screen looks something like this: Don’t Panic 0:10/2:17  Coldplay Parachutes (2000) (|||------) You can also press Exit [?] several times from any point in your browsing; eventually, the Now Playing screen appears.  Alternatively, you can press Home Menu [], then select the “Show song queue” option. You will see the entire list of songs in your song queue; refer to the scroll bar on the right side of the screen to determine where in the list you are located. Press the Up/Down arrows   to see the entire list of selections in your Song Queue. The cu△ ▽ rrently playing selection is indicated by a speaker ?icon.   You cannot save a Song Queue that you have created — it’s only held in memory temporarily and then erased when you build your next Song Queue. If you would like to build a Song Queue that you can save and recall at will, please build a Playlist in your music jukebox software (see “Playing a Saved Playlist” below). Erasing a Song Queue  If you change your mind and decide you don’t want to play the Song Queue you’ve just created, simply select something else to play. This will Navigate to another selection (song, playlist, etc.) and press Select [v] instead of Add [+]. This selection immediately replaces your old Song Queue.  Repeating and Shuffling Music Pressing  Repeat [q] once makes your Song Queue play continuously. You will see the Repeat icon q? on the right side of your display below the Play [4] ?icon. Pressing Repeat again makes the current song play over and over; you will see another Repeat icon [ ], a circle with just one arrow [  ]. Press Repeat a third time and you will remove the repeat command altogether. Pressing  Shuffle [ ] while playing a Song Queue will give you the following options:  Shuffle On — will play everything in your Song Queue in random order. The shuffled order of songs will be displayed in the Song Queue. An icon with two crossing arrows will appear on your radio display.  Shuffle Off — will play everything in your Song Queue in the original order. You can execute the Repeat and Shuffle command from any SoundBridge Radio menu and its icon will appears on your radio display.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  32    Now Playing  If you want to know what is playing, there are several ways to view “Now Playing” information:  Press the Exit [?] button several times until you see the display show “Now Playing” information.  Press the Home  menu [] button, then scroll down to the “Now Playing” option and press the Select [ ] button.   The display shows “Now Playing” information after a few minutes of remote control inactivity. If you press Play [?] on an album track, that track will play, followed by each track remaining on the album. For example, if you press Play on track 5 on an album with 10 tracks total, then tracks 5–10 will play. For continuous playback of the entire album, press Repeat [] on your remote control — the album will play until the end, then start again at the beginning. Pausing Music  Press the Pause [;] button to halt music playback. A Pause icon ;will displays at the top right of your display.  Pressing the Play [4] button or the Pause button again will resume from where you left off. When the Song Queue has finished all its songs, it will stop. You will see the Stop icon < ?on the right side of your display. To start playing your Song Queue again at the beginning, press the Play button.  Hint: Pressing the Pause [;] button to stop playback of your Song Queue will only do so temporarily. If you want to clear the memory of your Song Queue or your selection, you will simply navigate to select something else you want to hear, and press Play [4]. If you want to continue building your Song Queue from where you left off before pressing the Pause [;] button, press the Add [+] button instead of the Select [v] button and your prior selections will be preserved. Viewing Upcoming Selections If you are not sure what you have selected to play, simply press the Down [6] arrow. The music you are currently listening to will continue playing while you view a list of upcoming songs also knows as your Song Queue. The display will automatically return to the Now Playing option.  Press Pause [;] at any time to put playback on hold. Press Play [4] or Pause [;] a second time to resume playback. Hint: If you navigate to a new song and press Play [4], the old Song Queue is erased and replaced with your new selection. You should only press Play [4] when you want to
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  33   erase your existing Song Queue and start a new one. Press the Add [+] button to continue from where you left off and add a song to the existing Song Queue.  Skipping Music Tracks  If you’d like to skip a song during playback, press the Next Track : button ?on your remote control. Or, navigate to another song through your browsing options and press the Select [v] button. Changing Music Libraries If you have multiple music servers running on your network at once, you can easily navigate between them.  1. Press the Home Menu [ ] button on your remote control.  2.

Radio Brightness, Contrast and Text Display Not done When in standby mode, Soundbridge Radio can display the date and time, similar to the display below.  Insert visual  Use the Up and Down button on your remote control to change the time and date format on your clock display.  Use the Right and Left buttons on your remote control to adjust the brightness of your display. Pressing the Left button dims the clock display and pressing the Right button brightens the clock display.  You can customize the clock display in a number of ways: 1. When in Standby mode, use the Left/Right arrows to adjust the brightness of the clock display. (This will not affect the brightness settings of the display when in regular playback mode.) 2. When in Standby mode, use the up/down arrows to cycle through modes of display. For example, you can display large and small fonts, display the time but not the date, etc. (Again, these settings will not be applied to your display when you resume SoundBridge’s regular playback mode.) 3. Use SoundBridge’s web page to configure the format of the date and time. You can also turn off the clock display altogether. After your web page is launched, click on the Configuration tab. Scroll down on the page until you see a display that looks similar to the one below.  Reword to tell them to see the Roku Web Page section You can customize how your time appears, and correct errors in the display of your date and time. First, be sure that your time zone is selected correctly. Soundbridge Radio uses an Internet connection to display the proper time for your time zone. If your Internet connection is not available, Soundbridge Radio will be unable to display the date and time in Standby mode.  Format your time display by choosing what to display in each of four fields. Soundbridge Radio “strings together” all the fields to create the time display. For example, if you don’t want to see seconds, or don’t want to see “AM/PM”, select the hour and minute format, then choose the “Leave Blank” in the remaining drop down menus. The date selection works the same way — you can choose the format that best fits your geographic standard or your personal preference.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  36   To disable the date/time display altogether when Soundbridge Radio is in standby, select the corresponding option on this page. When you are finished, simply close your web page.  For More Information: For a complete list of Soundbridge Radio settings, see “Settings.”   Turning Off Your SoundBridge Radio  When you are finished playing music on your Soundbridge Radio, press the Standby [ ] button on your remote. In Standby mode, your radio will display the date and time or a blank display, depending on your preference. (See page --- for more information about setting these preferences.) If you were playing Internet radio from your “Favorite Radio Stations” library when you pressed Standby [ ] button, then pressing Standby again will resume playback of that station. Otherwise it will return you to the music library that you were most recently connected. If you plan to disconnect the Soundbridge Radio from AC power, be sure to press the Standby button first. This logs you out of the music server software running on your computer. Note: Wait approximately ten seconds after pressing Standby [ ] before unplugging SoundBridge; this gives Soundbridge Radio time to flush its settings for a clean reboot. Caution icon: If you unp lug the Soundbridge Radio from AC power five times without pressing the Standby [ ] button on your remote first, iTunes may lock you out of connecting to the server. This is because iTunes allows a maximum of five users to connect at one time. If you do not first put Soundbridge Radio in standby mode, iTunes thinks you are still connected. To restore your access to the iTunes server, close iTunes and then restart it.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  37   Roku Radio Web Interface  Needs work… Use SoundBridge’s Web page to control Soundbridge Radio playback remotely, configure your Soundbridge Radio or reconfigure your preset radio stations directly by entering the stream URL directly into the web page. There are several ways to access the web page: PC/Windows users: You can configure your computer to display UPnP devices including the Soundbridge Radio in your My Network Places window.

12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  39   If you experience problems with an Internet radio stream you copied from a web browser, make sure that your stream ends with a .pls or .m3u extension. Sometimes copying the link from your browser will exclude this information and your stream will not play. Sometimes the .pls or .m3u extension is excluded because it is being redirected behind the scenes. If you entered the URL http://www.hostname.com:9152, add listen.pls to the end of the URL, so the entry looks like http://www.hostname.com:9152/listen.pls.  Currently, Soundbridge Radio can stream MP3 and WMA. RealAudio streams (ending in .ram or .rm) are currently not supported. Stay tuned for additional format support in future software updates.   When you are finished entering your radio streams, press the Update Radio Streams  button at the bottom of the page. Hint: If you copy a URL that is too long to fit inside the text field (longer than 250 characters), or if you erase the URL in the URL field, Soundbridge Radio will automatically revert to the previous URL that was in your list before.  For More Information: See -----for information about accessing and playing your stored stations from the “Favorite Radio Stations” music library.

12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  42     Safe Mode Is this section technically up-to-date?  Soundbridge Radio includes the Safe Mode option which is a mode that enables automatically when Soundbridge Radio detects that its software has become corrupted. Safe Mode downloads a new version of software from Roku and to restore factory settings. When Soundbridge Radio enters Safe Mode, you will view the text “Safe Mode” displayed on the right side of the display. Your menu will only include options to update your software and restore factory defaults. (I am not sure what is being communicated here.)  While in Safe Mode, your stored network settings will not be recalled. Therefore, it is necessary to connect Soundbridge Radio using Ethernet before Soundbridge Radio can connect to the Internet to download new software. Safe Mode can also be entered manually by powering Soundbridge Radio off (by unplugging it from power) and on again, while at the same time pressing and holding any button on the remote control.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  43   Geeks — Read This I left this alone. The Soundbridge Radio has a command line interface that you can “telnet” to for piddling about. You will need to telnet to port 4444. Type “?” at the command prompt for a list of commands. We will be documenting in more detail how to control a Soundbridge Radio in the coming months, as well as updating the software in this area. When documentation is available, it will be posted on the developer section of our web site. Soundbridge Radio has a built-in UPnP AV “media renderer.” This protocol can be used to control the Soundbridge Radio from your own software. Please watch the developer section of our web site for updates on this feature.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  44   Obtaining Your Wireless Access Point’s Password I just revised the wording in this section Follow these instructions to determine your wireless access point password, and be sure to have a pen ready to make a note of the case-sensitive password as well as the password type, either hexadecimal (hex) or ASCII.   Apple AirPort (Mac Users) The Apple Airport is a very popular access point. To see its configuration, follow these steps: 1. From the Utilities folder, open your AirPort Admin Utility.  2. Select your AirPort and choose Configure.    You should then see the display below. The line labeled Wireless Network Name is the name of your network (SSID). You will either select this network on the Soundbridge Radio display or enter it if your network is not available.   For More Information: See “Establishing A Wireless Network Communication.”
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  45      If your network is password protected, you should choose Equivalent Network Password from the Base Station menu as shown above. 3. Write down the value that appears in the dialog as shown below. This is the value you will enter into SoundBridge’s wireless setup password field.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  46    4. In Soundbridge’s Radio menu selection, Select WiFi SSID and Password, choose a HEX password type.    Apple AirPort (PC Users) 1. From  Start /Programs/Airport Admin Utility, open the AirPort Admin utility  2. Select the network you would like to configure. You should then see the configuration display below.

12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  49    5. Write down the displayed password name and format. Hexadecimal is the format in the following example.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  50    6. Press OK.  Linksys WAP54G The Linksys WAP54G access point is a popular 802.11g access point. Getting the hexadecimal WEP key from the WAP54G is an easy process. Follow these steps: 1. Open a web browser and connect to the access point.  You connect to the access point by entering the access point’s IP address in the location bar of your web browser. If you do not know the IP address of the access point, please refer to the software or manual that came with the access point in order to determine the IP address. After successfully logging in, you will see a page similar to the following:
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  51    2. Write down the wireless network name in the MAC Address SSID field. You will enter the SSID name when specifying the wireless network for the Soundbridge Radio.   3. Click Edit Security Settings to access the WEP setup page. The following shows that Wireless Security is enabled.    This Linksys access point allows you to easily view the keys. Key 1 is the default key.
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  52   4. Write down the Key 1 value. In this example, 49774B692D is the key value. You will enter this value into SoundBridge’s wireless setup’s Password field.  You now have the information necessary to configure your Soundbridge Radio to connect to your network.  5. Close your web browser. Netgear WG602 The Netgear WG602 is an 802.11g Wireless Access Point. Its configuration can be accessed with a web browser. First, open a web browser and connect to the access point by entering the access point’s IP address in the location bar of your web browser. If you do not know the IP address of the access point, please refer to the software or manual that came with the access point in order to determine the IP address. After successfully logging in, you will see a page similar to the following:   The value of “Wireless Network Name (SSID)” is the SSID that you will enter into the SoundBridge’s wireless setup. Next, click on “Security Settings” on the left side to access the WEP settings:
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  53    If “WEP” is set to “Disable,” then you do not need to enter a password to access your wireless network. If “WEP” is set to “Enable,” you will need to obtain the hexadecimal key for your network. Netgear unfortunately, does not allow you to view the current passphrase or keys. However, if you re-enter the known passphrase and press “Generate Keys,” then it will regenerate the keys as before and allow you to view the keys:
12/12/2005 sb_radio_draft_jmc  54    Make a note of the value of the key with the active radio button (the default key, in this case “Key 1”: “562E7FF0A0”). This is the password that you will need to enter into your SoundBridge’s wireless setup “Password” field. You now have the information necessary to set up your wireless network from your SoundBridge. You may close your web browser.
