Connecting to a wireless network

Place the CXN in range of your wireless network (usually 10-30m of a suitable

wireless transmitter, although this is affected by walls and the construction of

your building) and turn it on, via the back panel switch and then on the front

panel.
The CXN will automatically connect and obtain an IP address from your

wireless network. For advanced users, if you would like to give your CXN a

static IP address, then see the 'Network config' section of the manual.

Note:

If you make a mistake at any point, you can always press the button

to go back to the previous screen.
The unit will now scan for all available wireless networks and will display

"Scanning".
If it can’t find one then the display will say: "No Wireless Networks Found".

If this happens then you need to either move the CXN nearer your wireless

access point or investigate any issues with your wireless network.
When the CXN finds your wireless network, it displays the broadcast name

(ESSID) for the access point – this is a name allocated to the access point by

whoever set up the network, it may either be a default name for your router/

wireless or may be a more familiar name such as "Johns Wi-Fi" etc. If your

CXN finds more than one wireless network you can simply choose which one

you want to connect to. Turn the rotary dial to see the ESSID for each wireless

network.
When the ESSID for the wireless network you want to connect to is displayed

on the screen, press the SELECT button. If your network is not configured

with an encryption code, the screen should say "Connecting to network" then

"Network OK".
If the screen displays either "Enter WEP key" or "Enter WPA key", then the

network is using one of the supported encryption systems: Wired Equivalent

Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). You now need to enter your

correct WEP or WPA code. The person who set up the wireless network in the

first place will know what this code is (or be able to reset it to a new known

code); if that person is not you, then you need to find out what it is.
After 3 seconds, the display goes into the code entry mode. To enter the code,

use the rotary dial to select each character of the code in turn, pressing the

SELECT button after entering each character.

Note:

The WEP and WPA codes are case sensitive, so you must enter them

exactly.
After entering the final character, use the rotary dial to select the character

and press the SELECT button. It’s a little fiddly but you will only need to do this

once. The CXN will remember this code and use it automatically from now on.
The unit should now be able to connect to the network.

Note: We recommend rebooting your CXN to search for any firmware

updates, as new firmware may have been released since your unit was

manufactured.

The CXN home menu consists of 5 items:

Presets

Radio

Music Library

Inputs

Settings

These allow access to the four basic types of media choice plus a Settings

menu for the unit.
You can return to this menu at any time by pressing the button.
Simply scroll through the items with the scroll wheel or



navigator

buttons on the remote control and press in the scroll wheel or use the Enter

button on the remote to select the item you want.

Presets

The CXN supports presets. These can be Internet Radio stations or streams

from most Streaming Services. UPnP/USB Media cannot be set as a preset.

To add a station/stream to a preset, first select that stream for playback in the

normal way. Now press the 'Home' button on the remote and navigate to the

Presets menu.
Note: Empty presets are not displayed. To save a presets to an empty location,

select 'Set Preset' and all slots will be displayed.
Select the preset location you require and press the Navigation/Select dial

or the Enter button on the remote to save the current station/stream to that

preset.
Recalling presets is done simply by selecting the Presets button on the remote

or via the Home menu.

Note:

– The CXN loads the presets for display from our Stream Magic servers over

the internet, thus they can take a few seconds to appear.

– All saved Presets will be deleted when a unit is registered/re-registered

online.

Radio

The Stream Magic Internet Radio service brings thousands of internet radio

stations to you. The sheer choice available on the internet allows you to find

new music, listen to stations in your native language (or perhaps if you are

learning another one), from your home town or by your Genre of choice.
It has to be said that the audio quality of internet radio varies greatly dependant

on the bitrate and compression technology used by the broadcaster, but the

choice more than makes up for this. Internet Radio allows you to explore and

find new music from all over the world.

Note:

As an 'aggregator' service we are simply organising the browsing and

connection process for these stations so that you don’t have to manually

search for them or type in any URLs (web links) etc to access them. Whilst

we regularly check the stations to make sure they are still transmitting reliably

and in reasonable quality, we are not responsible for their content in any way.
As well as the thousands of stations we offer, if you want to listen to a particular

station that is not included in our service you can add it via the Stream Magic

website at

www.stream-magic.com

, see later section. You can also visit the

www.stream-magic.com

website and put in a request suggesting new

stations for us to add to the service. We welcome your feedback.
It is not necessary to register your CXN to use the free Stream Magic Internet

Radio service but by registering you will be able to edit settings on your

CXN via the website, manage your presets, set up new 3rd party Streaming

Services and more.
