The Wireless Audio Adapter (WAA) Utility is PC-based software that allows you to
configure your Wireless Audio Adapter network profiles. Normally, you will only
need to use this tool if:
• you want to configure your profile settings OR
• you need to troubleshoot network-related problems OR
• you wish to upload new software for your Wireless Audio Adapter
To install this utility, insert your EZ Installation Wizard CD-ROM, wait for the
setup wizard to appear and click [Install SMCWAA-B Utility]. Click the [Next >]
button and follow the instructions on the screen to install the software.
The Wireless Audio Adapter is delivered out-of-the-box, pre-configured with
default settings. These settings are stored in the Factory Defaults network
profile, which cannot be changed. However, other profiles are provided which
you may edit to suit your wireless network.
There are two methods for performing configuration tasks:
•
Using the remote control in the Configuration menu on the Wireless Audio
Adapter (see Changing Network Status Settings on page 26) OR
