The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your
router and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devi
-
ces and static (manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall
outside the range that the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups
of digits will be the same for all devices on your network. To enter the IP address, press the
Tuning
buttons to set the value for each group of digits and then press the
Select
button to
enter the value and to move on to the next group. When the IP address has been entered, the
subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask defines which parts of the IP address are
common across your network. For most small networks the subnet mask will be 255.255.255.0
and this is entered in the same way.
The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio
connects to the internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.
In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP
address as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero. To enter the DNS
address, press the
Tuning
buttons to set the value for each group of digits and then press the
Select
button to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all eight
groups of digits have been entered.
The next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the wireless network
(SSID) followed by the encryption options and password. To enter the SSID, characters are se
-
lected and entered using the Tuning buttons The radio scrolls through the available characters
as well as the three controls on the right. The character currently highlighted will be entered
when you press the
Select
button. Do this as needed until the complete network name has been
entered. The SSID setting is sensitive to upper and lower case characters and symbols.
You must enter it exactly as set up in your router. The three controls on the right-hand side of
the screen have special functions:
select ‘ ’ to erase a character just entered
select ‘ ’ when the complete SSID has been entered
select ‘ ’ to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wi
-
reless network. This should be the same as specified in your router settings. If your network
does not use encryption, then select the ‘Open’ option. Your radio should then connect to the
network, so skip to step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the
‘Pre-Shared Key’ option then go to step 8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi
Protected Access) – see step 9.
