UnitiQute Setup

frequency component of a speaker system incorporating
small (restricted bandwidth) satellite speakers. When
Small is specified, a 100Hz high-pass filter is applied to the
UnitiQute speaker output signal.

Select

None

when no speakers are connected directly to

the UnitiQute

Engaging the

Loudness

option applies low frequency boost

to the speaker and preamplifier outputs that decreases as
the volume setting is increased. Through compensating for
the ear’s reduced low frequency sensitivity at low volume
levels, the Loudness function can make low volume
listening more satisfying.

Note:

The loudness contour operates at volume settings

between 0 and 55.

The speaker

Max. Volume

and

Balance

parameters specify

maximum allowed volume, and the channel balance
respectively.

4.5 The Headphones Menu

The Headphones setup menu
enables the

Max. Volume

parameter

to be specified:

Parameter

Options

Max. Volume:

0 to 100 (adjust
using handset

keys)

4.6 The Network Settings Menu

The Network Settings menu
enables UnitiQute network
parameters to be customised
to suit the router and network.
The options are tabulated
and described in the following
sections:

Parameter

Options

Name:

User definable (text entry)

Default: Uniti-xxxx

Wireless:

Not Used / Wireless Network Names

Status:

Connected / No Signal / Login Failure /
Busy / Etc.

DHCP:

Yes / No

The

Name

parameter enables the UnitiQute’s default

network name to be changed.

The

Wireless

parameter enables a wireless network to be

chosen and joined. See Section 4.6.1 below for detailed
wireless set up notes.

Network

Status

displays the current network connection

status.

The

DHCP

parameter enables the UnitiQute network

settings to be modified. In most cases, specifying

Yes

and

leaving UnitiQute set to DHCP, will be the appropriate

option. See Section 4.6.2 below for notes on non-DHCP
network connection.

Note:

Devices installed on a network have an IP address

through which they are identified by all the other items
on the network. DHCP is a set of rules that enable the
automatic allocation of addresses as items are connected
(or switched on while connected) to the network.
UnitiQute is set up by default to use DHCP.

Note:

If UnitiQute is connected to the network both

wirelessly and via Ethernet (wired), the Ethernet connection
will take priority.

4.6.1 Wireless Network

Connection Set Up

If the

Wireless

parameter is

selected in the Network Settings
menu the Select Network menu
will display a list of the available
networks. An option not to use a wireless connection is
also provided. Use the handset

(

) or

down

(

) keys

to scroll through the list and the

ok/list

key to select a

network.

Note:

UnitiQute is compatible with most commonly used

Wi-Fi standards. Routers that support 802.11b and 802.11g
will work, however those with 802.11n compatibility are
recommended for best results.

Note:

As with any wireless network hardware, UnitiQute

connection reliability will be affected by both network
router performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise
the possibility of poor connection reliability, UnitiQute
should be connected to network audio sources by no
more than one wireless “leg”. Other “legs” necessary
between UnitiQute and the network audio sources should

be wired.

Note:

UnitiQute cannot connect to a “hidden” wireless

network.

If the selected network is secure
and requires a passphrase or
access key to join, UnitiQute will
display an alert message. Pressing
the handset

ok/list

key will then

open a text entry screen for entry
of the passphrase or access key.

Use the handset

numeric/text

keys to enter the passphrase or
access key taking care to ensure
that the letter case is correct.
Press the handset
