the Air. To do this, press and hold the Standby/On button and WPS
button on the rear panel for 10-15 seconds until the Air switches o,

Network connections
Before you can use your Air for Internet Radio/Streaming you must
have the following:
• A broadband internet connection (such as ADSL) to a suitable
internet service provider (ISP).
• A network connection either wirelessly via 802.11b/g or n Wi-Fi
or wired Ethernet connection (10 or 100 M bits/sec via an RJ45
connection).
If your wireless network is congured to use Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption then you
will need to know your WEP or WPA key so you can get the Air to
communicate with the network.
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.
The Air can be congured to connect to a wired or wireless network.
For wired setup, see later section 'Connecting to a wired network'.
Connecting to a wireless network
1. Connect the Air to the mains power and press the button on
top of the unit. Wait for up to 20 seconds for the ashing light on
the rear panel to ash green and orange . If the light does
not ash green and orange after 20 seconds, please carry out a
factory reset as detailed above, and start again.
Apple Wireless Accessory Conguration
If you have an Apple mobile device, go to the 'Settings -> Wi-Fi'
menu. Choose the Air showing under 'Set up New AirPlay Speaker'
and follow the instructions.
Note: For Mac with OS X, once connected the setup will then
proceed to Airport utility. Follow the instructions.
Otherwise, proceed to the next section.

and select Air_XXX.
PC
3. Open a new page in your internet browser (Internet Explorer,
Safari, Chrome etc). In the address bar of your browser, go to
http://192.168.1.1/ to load the setup page.
4. Select your home Wi-Fi network from the drop down list of
choices.
The lists shows all the networks the Air can nd locally.
5. Now type your home Wi-Fi/Network password into the box, and
click the 'Save' button.
Note: If you don't know your Wi-Fi password key, it's commonly
found on a label on your internet modem/router.
6. After a few seconds, the Air will be connected to your network
(successful connection is indicated by a solid green light on the
rear of the product). This can take up to 30 seconds.
Note:
– If the light on the rear continues ashing green , this indicates
that the Air has been unsuccessful with the Wi-Fi connection.
Carry out a reset and repeat the process.
– If your computer/tablet has not already done so automatically,
change the Wi-Fi/network setting on your computer/tablet back
to your home network.
Connecting to a wireless network using WPS
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) then this is a
simple method to connect the Air to your network without needing
to know your Wi-Fi network key or broadcast network name SSID.
WPS allows two devices to discover each other for a short time
(usually a minute or two) after the WPS buttons have been pressed
on both devices.
To connect using WPS simply press the WPS button on your router
(please consult router instructions for details) then shortly after press
the WPS button on the rear panel of the Air (briey press it once).
The WPS light on the rear of the Air will ash orange > green >
red for up to 2 minutes whilst the Air looks for your router.
If the connection is successful connection the WPS light will turn
solid green and your Wi-Fi connection is ready.
Connecting to a wired network
Note: Make sure that the Air is switched o before plugging in the
Ethernet cable.
Plug one end of a network cable (Category 5/5E straight through
Ethernet cable) into the LAN port on the back of the unit and the
other end directly to a free port on your router.
Note: Only connect the LAN port of the player to an Ethernet port
that supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. Connecting to any other
ports or jacks, such as a phone jack, can damage the unit.
Now turn on your Air. The Air should automatically connect to your
network via DHCP; this means it will be given an IP address by your
router automatically.
