when trying to access a PC you probably do not
have permission to access the PC. Check that the
PC Settings on the radio are correct to ensure
that you have the correct logon information. You
must also check the firewall on the PC to make
sure that you have allowed your Internet radio to
access the PC or NAS Box.
NAS- Box (Network Attached Storage)
A NAS unit is essentially a self-contained com-
puter connected to a network, with the sole
purpose of supplying file-based data storage
services to other devices on the network. The
operating system and other software on the NAS
unit provide the functionality of data storage,
file systems, and access to files, and the manage-
ment of these functionalities. Therefore you can
attach a NAS box to your network and share all
your music across the entire network and access
the music without the need for your computer to
be turned on.
Modern NAS boxes support a wide variety of
protocols and services. The two most important
ones in relation with Internet radio are the UPnP
and CIFS/SMB protocols.
UPnP
If you have set up your NAS Box sharing via UPnP
you can access the UPnP server as follows:
1. Access <MAIN MENU> <MUSIC PLAYER>
<SHARED FILES> Name of your NAS UPnP
server.
2. Make sure to allow the device on the NAS
Box if necessary.
CIFS/SMB
If you wish to set up your NAS Box sharing via
CIFS/SMB you will have to setup a user account
on the NAS Box, where you can define what fold-
ers to share within this specific user account. You
should enter the logon information on the Inter-
net Radio in the following way:
1. Access <MAIN MENU> <MUSIC PLAYER>
2. Select <USERNAME> and type in the same
username that you have defined as an ac-
count on the NAS Box.
3.
Select
<P
ASSWORD>
and
t
ype
in
the
same
password that you have defined as an ac-
count on the NAS Box.
4. When completed scroll to OK and press the
Scroll/Selec-button to store your entries.
See page 12 how to enter user name and pass-
word on the radio.
Note: If you face problems in accessing the NAS
Box, you may under PC Settings have to enter the
Administrator login information that you use to
logon to the NAS Box itself. This is often the case
with cheap NAS Box models.
