You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu items ‘Main
Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'View settings' -> 'MAC
address'. Note that the WM-202 radio has both wired and wireless
MAC addresses. These are identical except for the fi rst two digits.
A wireless MAC address will typically be of the form
00:13:E0:xx:xx:xx
A wired MAC address will typically be of the form
02:13:E0:xx:xx:xx
5. If you have an encrypted network, check that you have entered the
correct encryption key into the radio. Remember that text-format WPA
keys are case sensitive. If your radio displays 'Network error' when
attempting to connect to an encrypted network, then please ensure
that you enter the correct key for the network. If the problem persists,
then you may need to re-check your network confi guration.
6. If you need to set up your radio's IP address manually, you will need
to know low-level details of your network's confi guration. Use the
menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'Manual
settings' -> 'Wired' or 'Wireless' (as needed) -> 'DHCP disable'.
The radio will then prompt you in turn for the
Ethernet IP address
Ethernet Subnet mask
Ethernet Gateway address
Ethernet Primary DNS
Ethernet Secondary DNS
If you are setting up a wireless connection manually you will also need
to enter the SSID, the encryption type, and the encryption key.
See page 14 for full details on how to set up your radio's network
confi guration manually.
Troubleshooting
If you have diffi culty connecting the radio to your computer network, some
of these steps may help to resolve the problem:
1. Confi rm that a WiFi connected PC can access the Internet (i.e. can
browse the web) using the same network.
2. Check that a DHCP server is available (normally a router function),
or that you have confi gured your radio to use DHCP. Your radio will
by default use DHCP. This may be confi gured using the menu items
‘Main Menu' -> 'System settings' -> 'Network' -> 'Manual settings'.
This will ask fi rst whether you wish to confi gure a wired or a wireless
connection. For either wired or wireless you then need to choose
'DHCP enable' or 'DHCP disable'. If you enable DHCP then the radio
will negotiate with your router (or DHCP server) and will be provided
with an IP address as well as the other settings needed. If you wish
to set the network confi guration manually, refer to paragraph 6.
3. Check that your network’s rewall is not blocking any outgoing ports.
As a minimum, the radio needs access to UDP and TCP ports 80 and
123. Port 53 may be required for DNS. Some Internet radio services
may require additional ports to be open. The use of Windows Shares
requires access to UDP and TCP ports 135 - 139 and 445. Windows
Media Player 11 will allocate a port number for UPnP media sharing
and will confi gure Microsoft's Windows built-in fi rewall appropriately.
Other rewall software may require confi guration for UPnP or to allow
particular IP addresses to have trusted access.
4. Check that your access point does not restrict connections to particular
MAC addresses (sometimes called MAC address fi ltering).
