Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your radio would be connected to your network, using a
WiFi connection. From time to time, you may find that you need to connect to different computer
networks. The Internet setup menu allows you to change your radio’s network settings, scan for
an alternative wireless network, or to manually configure the network parameters.
The steps outlined below describe how you can do this –see also the section ‘Network Profiles’.
Configuring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection
From the Network settings menu select ‘Network wizard’. This will present you with details of any
WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list using the Tuning Control Rotary to the desired
network name. Press
Tuning Control Rotary
to select this network. The radio will then use its
WiFi system to communicate with the network. Depending on the settings for the new network
you may need to enter an encryption key. By default the radio will then acquire an IP address
and other network settings from your router using DHCP.
Configuring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection
Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the socket (marked
LAN) at the back of the unit. From the Network settings menu select ‘Network Wizard’. This will
preset you the details of any WiFi networks that are found. Scroll down the list to the ‘[Wired]’
option. Press the Select button to select this. The radio will then use its Ethernet connection
to communicate with the network. By default the unit will then acquire an IP address and other
network settings from your router using DHCP.
Manual network configuration
If you do not wish to use DHCP for automatic configuration, or if your network is configured with
a hidden SSID, then you will need to enter some network settings manually. (Note – a hidden
SSID may prevent casual observers from detecting your network, but is not recommended as a
means of network security.)
1. From the radio Network settings menu, select ‘Manual settings’. You must then choose to connect
using 'Wired' or ‘Wireless’ connections. If you choose ‘Wireless’ there are as many as nine
settings screens, shown by the ‘1 of 9’ progress marker in the top right corner of the display.
If you choose ‘Wired’ there are five screens and the progress marker will reflect this, although
the steps to set up the network parameters are basically the same.
2. The next menu asks whether you wish to use DHCP to configure your network parameters
(IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, etc). Unless you are familiar with networking and
related terminology, we recommend that you allow the use of DHCP. Choose ‘DHCP enable’
unless you need to specify the network details manually.
If you have chosen ‘Wired’ and then ‘DHCP enable’, your radio should now establish a connection
to the router using the Ethernet cable. Please skip to setp11. If you chose ‘Wireless’ and ‘DHCP
enable’, please skip to step 6 in order to set up the wireless connection details. If you chose ‘DHCP
disable’ for either connection method, the next step is to set up the IP address.
