Before you can use this product
Before you can use your Internet radio, you must have the following:
A broadband Internet connection.
A wireless access point (Wi-Fi) or a wired Ethernet connection
(10 or 100 Mbits/sec with RJ45 connection; For RCR-7 only)
connected to your broadband Internet, preferably via a router.
In many cases the broadband modem, router and wireless access
point will be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service
Provider or bought from a computer store.
If your wireless network is configured to use Wired Equivalent
Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption
then you need to know the WEP or WPA key so you can get the
Internet radio to communicate with the network.
The Internet radio will typically work within a 10-20 meter radius from
your wireless access point. The actual range achieved will depend upon
the building type, other nearby wireless networks, and possible
interference sources.
IMPORTANT:
Before you continue, make sure that your wireless access point or
router is powered up and working with your broadband Internet service
(use your computer to verify this). To get this part of the system working
you must read the instructions supplied with the wireless access point
or router.
