Before you can use this product
Before you can use your internet radio, you must have the following:
●A broadband Internet connection (not required for DAB, FM or Music Player functions).
●A router (or equivalent wireless access point) providing a WiFi signal or Ethernet connection,
connected to your broadband Internet Service Provider. The broadband modem, router and
wireless access point will often be a single combined unit supplied by your Internet Service
Provider or bought from a computer store.
●If your wireless network requires a security password to allow connection, then you either
need to know the WEP, WPA or WPA2 key used for encryption so that you can get the radio
to communicate with the network, or your router needs to offer WiFi Protected Setup (WPS).
●If you choose to connect the radio to your network using a wired Ethernet connection, then
an Ethernet cable of appropriate length will be needed. If it is intended to listen to FM radio
extensively, then there may be benefit in using a shielded Ethernet cable since this may
reduce possible interference to the radio.
The radio's WiFi system is compatible with 802.11b, g, or n networks.
If connecting using WiFi, the radio will typically work within a 10-20 metre radius from your
wireless router or access point. The actual range achieved will depend upon the building type,
other nearby wireless networks, and possible interference sources. DAB and FM radio functions
can operate wherever the radio is able to receive a suitable broadcast signal.
IMPORTANT: Before you continue, make sure that your router (or access point) is powered up
and working with your broadband Internet service (use your computer, smart-phone or tablet
to verify this). To get this part of the system working you must refer to the instructions supplied
with those items.

Battery operation
We recommend for economy that the Stream 217 is used with the AC
adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional use only.
Inserting the adaptor into the DC input socket will disconnect the batteries.
If using batteries, only alkaline types should normally be used. Battery life
will vary according to the operating mode of the radio, listening volume,
battery type and temperature. Using quality branded Alkaline batteries,
between 40 and 75 hours should be possible. WiFi takes much more
power than DAB listening for example.
To install batteries in your radio follow these steps.
1. Remove the battery cover on the rear of the unit by pushing the battery
door in and downwards.
2. Insert six LR20 (D size) batteries into the spaces in the compartment.
Take care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity
as shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Reduced power, audio distortion or the radio switching itself off are all
signs that the batteries may need replacing.
If the radio is not to be used for any extended period of time it is recommended
that the batteries are removed from the radio.
Rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells can be used in the radio
but must be charged outside the radio using an external charger. Note
that readily available D size NiMH cells have a capacity which is only a
small fraction of that of D size Alkaline cells and so they will power the
radio for only a few hours before needing recharging. Never mix batteries
of different types, capacities or brands in the radio.
IMPORTANT: The batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like. After use, disposable batteries should
if possible be taken to a suitable recycling centre. On no account
should batteries be disposed of by incineration.

Navigation controls
This page describes the basic means of controlling your Stream 217 radio.
Instructions for each operating mode are given in the later sections of this book.
1. Pressing the On/Standby button brings your internet radio out of Standby
mode if running from the mains or switches it on if using batteries.
Pressing the On/Standby button while the internet radio is in use will cause
it to return to the Standby mode with the clock display when running from
the mains, or will switch it off after a short delay when running on batteries.
2. Pressing the Mode button gives you access to each of the operating modes
in turn: Internet Radio, Spotify, Music Player, DAB Radio, FM Radio and
Auxiliary Input. Alternatively press the Mode button and then turn the
Tuning/Select control clockwise or anti-clockwise to highlight the desired
menu item then press the control to select that item.
3. Pressing the Menu button will access the menu system.
4. Many operations require the user to make a selection from the menu. This
is done using the Tuning/Select control. Turn the control clockwise or
anti-clockwise to highlight the desired menu item then press the control to
select that item.
If there are more than six items in a menu, then the display will automatically
scroll up or down so that the additional items become visible. A sliding bar
on the right will give an indication showing the current portion of the menu
that is displayed. If there are many items in a menu, then the radio allows
the menu to 'wrap around' in either direction. This can make it easier to
reach items at the end of a long menu, such as a list of countries or Internet
radio stations.
5. The Forward button may also be used to make selections from the displayed
menu. If an error is made when navigating the menus, it is generally possible
to go back to a higher level menu by pressing the Back button.
6. The Info button allows the display of information relating to the radio station
or music file being played. A long press of the Info button also allows direct
access to the brightness control menu.
Note: In this booklet, press always means press and release. If it is required
to give a long press on a button this is described as press and hold.

3. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to choose an auto-update option for the
clock. This can be updated from DAB or FM radio, from the Network, or not
updated. The default is to auto-update from the network. If you choose another
option go to 'Connecting to your computer network' on page 10. Otherwise
you will first need to select the correct time zone and daylight savings setting,
see the next steps. If you choose 'No update' you will need to set the clock
manually later, see page 75. Press the control to confirm your choice.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the time zone for your current
location. Press the Tuning/Select control to enter the setting.
5. You will then need to set the Daylight Savings option according to your
location (Daylight Savings is also known as Summer/Winter time or BST/
GMT adjustment).
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight 'ON' or 'OFF' as required. The
asterisk shows the current setting. Press the control to enter the selection.
In the UK, 'ON' is equivalent to British Summer Time and 'OFF' is equivalent

Connecting to your computer network
Before you can use your Stream 217 radio to listen to Internet radio or to music streamed from your computer, it
must first be connected to your computer network.
This section of this book describes how to connect the radio to your network using either the wireless (WiFi)
connection or the wired (Ethernet) connection.
The following instructions assume that you have just set up the clock and time options using the Setup Wizard
as described on the preceding page.
These instructions also apply to the Network Wizard in the Network Settings menu (from step 2 onwards).
1. After setting the Daylight Savings options (see page 9), the display will show the 'Keep network connected?'
option. You should choose 'Yes' if you wish to keep the radio connected to the network when it is in Standby
mode. This will allow remote control software to switch on your radio when needed.
If you choose 'No' then your radio will shut down its WiFi or Ethernet connection when it is in Standby, DAB,
FM or Aux-in modes. This minimises power consumption but it does mean that you will need to switch the
radio on manually in order to use either Spotify Connect, the 'Play to' / 'Cast to Device' function or any remote
control software such as the UNDOK app.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the required option and then press the control to make the
selection.
After setting the Keep Connected option, the display will show a list of supported WiFi regional options.
Rotate the Tuning/Select control to highlight the required region (for the UK choose 'Most of Europe'), and
then press the control to make the selection. Do this even if you are planning to use the wired Ethernet
connection. Your radio will then scan for available WiFi networks.
2. The radio will enter the Network Settings Wizard and will display 'Scanning...'. The radio will automatically
scan the 2.4GHz WiFi band and after a short while the display will show a list of the available WiFi networks.
If you are intending to use the WiFi connection, go to step 3 on the next page.
To use the Ethernet connection to your router (with automatic configuration), rotate the Tuning/Select control
to point to the '[Wired]' menu item. Press the control and the radio will attempt to connect.
If your network allows automatic configuration (which is normal) the radio will acquire a network address.
The screen should say 'Connecting...', and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control
to exit the setup wizard and show the Main menu. You can then skip to paragraph 10 on page 13.

Connecting to your computer network - cont.
There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you
have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the
possible cause of the problem.
Green ON = Link established; OFF = no connection
Yellow Flashing = Data transfer
If your network does not support automatic configuration or if you wish to set
it up manually then you should select '[Manual config]' instead of selecting
'[Wired]' in the Network Wizard, then go to page 15.
3. If you plan to use a WiFi connection, you will first need to identify your network
in the list of network names presented by the Network Wizard. If no networks
are found then you may have to get your wireless router working (please see
the instructions supplied with it) or you may be too far from the router.
When the radio finds your wireless network, it displays the Network Name (SSID)
for the wireless access point on the screen. This is a name that is allocated
to the access point in your router by the person who set up the network - for
example: 'Jones family' or 'Paul's network'. Routers supplied by Internet Service
Providers often have the default name of the WiFi network provided on a label
or card for easy reference (e.g. BTHub - 1234, virginmedia 1234567). If the
router supports WiFi Protected Setup, then '[WPS]' will be shown in front of
the SSID.
It is possible, and in some locations highly likely, that your radio will find more
than one wireless network, in which case you should choose which one you
need to connect to.
4. Rotate the Tuning/Select control to see the SSID for each wireless network
that has been found. If your network is shown proceed to step 6 on the next
page. If it is not shown then proceed to step 5, also on the next page.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Back button to go back to the
previous screen.

5. If your network is not found, it may be because the router is configured not to broadcast the SSID. You
should then use the Tuning/Select control to highlight and select the '[Manual config]' option in order to
enter the network details manually. This is described in 'Manual Network Configuration', see page 15.
If your network name is being broadcast, and it was not found, then try re-scanning (press the Back
button), and if necessary try moving your radio to a location closer to your access point / router.
6. When the SSID for the wireless network you wish to connect to is highlighted on the screen, press the
Select control. If WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) was indicated, you will see an additional menu at this point,
otherwise proceed to step 7.
Choose one of the WPS menu options as required for your router (WPS may be via push button, or using
an identification number).
'Push Button' - the display prompts you to press the WPS button on your router and then the Select control
on the radio. The two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.
'PIN' - the display shows an identification number which you must enter into your router using a web browser
(refer to your router's user documentation). You should then press the Select control on the radio. The
two devices should then connect with the encryption key sent automatically to the radio.
'Skip WPS' - if you wish to enter the encryption key yourself (or if it was previously entered).
If you chose Push Button or PIN the screen will then show 'Connecting...' and then 'Setup wizard completed'.
Press the Tuning/Select control to exit the setup wizard and then go to paragraph 10 on the next page.
7. If your network is configured without an encryption key, the screen should say 'Connecting...', and then
'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to exit the setup wizard and show the Main
menu. If this is the case then you have successfully connected your radio to your network, so please go
to paragraph 10 on the next page.
8. If the screen displays 'Key:', it is because the network is using one of the encryption systems: Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access (WPA). You will need to enter the correct WEP or
WPA key into the radio to allow it to communicate with your wireless network. If you do not have the WEP
or WPA key, then you should obtain it from the person who set up your network. Some wireless routers
may come with an encryption key already set up by the supplier, in which case you should refer to the
documentation provided with it. WPA is used here to also include WPA2.

WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some wireless
routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these are not supported by the
radio. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63
characters. Your radio accepts pass-phrases for WPA keys.
9. To enter the WEP or WPA key, characters are selected and entered using the
Tuning/Select control. As you rotate the control, the highlight scrolls through
the available characters as well as the three controls on the right. The character
currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
Do this as needed until the complete key has been entered. Remember, WEP
keys only use the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F. WPA keys are sensitive to upper
and lower case characters. You must enter the key exactly or the radio will not
connect to the network.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You
can quickly access these by pressing the Info button and then using the Tuning/
Select control as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info
again to continue
select ' ' when the complete key has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and re-run the Network Wizard
If a WEP or WPA key has previously been entered for the selected SSID then the
radio will attempt to connect. If you have previously entered a different key, then
the connection will fail, and you will need to enter the new, correct key.
After the final character of the WEP or WPAkey has been entered, highlight the '
symbol and press the Tuning/Select control.The screen will show 'Connecting...'
and then 'Setup wizard completed'. Press the Tuning/Select control to the exit
setup wizard. The radio should now be able to connect to the network.
10. Once you have connected your radio to the network (and therefore also to the
Internet) it will display the Main menu. Press the On/Standby button to put the radio
into Standby mode. It should then display the time as obtained from the Internet.
If the time display is not correct for any reason, it can easily be adjusted later, see
page 75, 'Manually setting the clock'.

If you have followed the steps on the preceding pages successfully, your radio will have connected to your
router, and then made a connection to the Internet and set its clock. If this is the case, then you can try
listening to radio stations via the Internet as described on page 19 onwards.
Changing the network connection
In the sections above, you chose how your radio would be connected to your network, either using a WiFi
connection or using a wired Ethernet cable. From time to time, you may find that you need to connect
to different computer networks. The Network Settings menu allows you to change your radios’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' on page 89.
If you have no need to do this, however, please skip to page 19.
Configuring the radio to use an alternative WiFi connection
1. 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/Select control to the desired network
name. Press the control 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 (see pages 12-13). By default the radio will
then acquire an IP address and other network settings from the network's router using DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol).
Configuring the radio to use the wired Ethernet connection
2. Connect your radio to your router using an Ethernet cable plugged into the RJ-45 socket at the back
of the unit. From the Network Settings menu select 'Network wizard'. This will display a list of any WiFi
networks that are found. Scroll down the list and select the '[Wired]' option.
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 the network's router using DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol).

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 it is not recommended as a means of network security.)
1. From the radios Network Settings menu, select 'Manual settings'. You must then choose whether 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 step 11 on page 17.
If you chose 'Wireless' and 'DHCP enable', please skip to step 6 on page 16 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.
3. The manually specified IP address should be chosen to be compatible with the settings in your router
and must be a unique address on your network. If you are using DHCP for some devices and static
(manually configured) IP addresses for others, the IP address used should fall outside the range that
the router may allocate using DHCP. Typically, the first three groups of digits will be the same for all
devices on your network. To enter the IP address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for
each group of digits and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group.
When the IP address has been entered, the subnet mask should be entered. The subnet mask defines
which parts of the IP address are common across your network. For most small networks the subnet
mask will be 255.255.255.0 and this is entered in the same way.
4. The Gateway address is normally the IP address of the router through which the radio connects to the
internet and is entered in the same way as the previous addresses.

5. In most installations the DNS settings (DNS = Domain Name Server) will be set to the same IP address
as your router. In this case the secondary DNS may be left at zero.
To enter the DNS address, rotate the Tuning/Select control to set the value for each group of digits
and then press the control to enter the value and to move on to the next group. Repeat this until all
eight groups of digits have been entered.
If you previously specified 'Wired' and then 'DHCP disable', your radio should now connect to the router
using the Ethernet cable (in which case skip to step 11).
6. If you specified 'Wireless', the next step is to set up the WiFi connection, starting with the name of the
wireless network (SSID) followed by the encryption options and password.
To enter the SSID, characters are selected and entered using the Tuning/Select control. As you rotate
the control, the radio scrolls through the available characters as well as the three controls on the right.
The character currently highlighted will be entered when you press the Tuning/Select control.
Do this as needed until the complete network name has been entered. The SSID setting is sensitive
to upper and lower case characters and symbols. You must enter it exactly as set up in your router.
The three controls on the right-hand side of the screen have special functions. You can quickly access
these by pressing the Info button and then use the Tuning/Select control as needed:
select ' ' to erase a character just entered (long press to clear); Info again to continue
select ' ' when the complete SSID has been entered
select ' ' to cancel and go back to the DNS settings screen
7. Having entered the SSID, you must enter details of the encryption system used on your wireless
network. This should be the same as specified in your router settings. If your network does not use
encryption, then select the 'Open' option. Your radio should then connect to the network, so skip to
step 11. If your network uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) select the 'WEP' option then go to step
8. The remaining options are for WPA or WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) - see step 9.
8. If you chose 'WEP' in step 7, you should then choose the PreSharedKey - TKIP option. The key should
be entered using only the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F. The key will be 10 characters long for 64-bit
encryption and 26 characters long for 128-bit encryption. The radio will accept lower-case letters a-f
as equivalent to upper-case A-F. Spaces or special symbols are not permitted in WEP keys.

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to your network. Please skip to step 11.
9. WPA and WPA2 are more secure than WEP, although of these two WPA2 offers a higher level of
security. Having selected WPA/WPA2 in step 7, you then have to specify the variant used. They are
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). Simply select the
'PSK AES/TKIP' menu option using the Tuning/Select control.
10. The radio will then require you to enter the encryption key. This must be a string of between 8 and
63 characters and must be identical to the key which has been entered into your router. Note - the
encryption key is sensitive to the use of upper and lower case letters and symbols. Take care to enter
the key exactly, or the radio will not be able to connect to your router.

Once the key is entered the radio should connect to the network.
11. While the radio is trying to connect to the network, it will display 'Connecting...'. If the connection is
made successfully, the radio will return to the Network Settings menu. If the unit cannot connect, then
it will display a 'Failed to connect' message and will return to the SSID entry screen (step 6).
Once connected, the network settings are stored in the radio. The settings are retained when the radio
is disconnected from the mains.
You may now use the Back and Mode buttons to access the functions of your internet radio.
