Troubleshooting
The following tips and answers to frequently asked questions will help resolve problems
you may encounter. You can fi nd answers to additional questions on our web site at
http://faq.slimdevices.com/ .
How do I get back to the Squeezebox Setup menu?
Press and hold the LEFT arrow for fi ve seconds to bring Squeezebox back to the setup
menu.
How do I reset Squeezebox to factory default settings?
Plug the power connector into Squeezebox while holding down the ADD button on
the
remote until you see the SET UP NETWORKING prompt.
The player doesn’t obtain an IP address.
Check all your network connections, and make sure that the DHCP server is running.
Try a different ethernet cable, even if the hub indicates a good link. Make sure you are using
the latest fi rmware for your router or access point.
Can I connect Squeezebox directly to my computer?
You can connect Squeezebox directly to your computer (without a local network or hub)
using an ethernet crossover cable. You can purchase a crossover cable at most retail
computer stores. Confi gure your network adaptor and Squeezebox with static IP addresses
so that they can fi nd each other. Visit
http://faq.slimdevices.com and search for
CROSSOVER for additional information.
I can’t enter my wireless password.
If your network is using WEP encryption, you’ll need the hexadecimal WEP key for your
wireless network. Hexadecimal keys are either 10 or 26 digits of 0-9 or the letters A to
F. Some wireless access points or routers use text passwords for WEP. The confi guration
software for your wireless device can show the key in hexadecimal. Airport users can use
Airport Admin Utilities. Use the Base Station menu to fi nd the Equivalent Network Password
and use the value displayed.
The web interface won’t come up, even though Squeezebox is working.
Try using the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:9000/ . (Be sure to type the “http://” part, as
some versions of Internet Explorer require it when accessing a URL by IP address.)
