You can view the radio’s MAC address using the menu items ‘Main

Menu' -> 'System setup' -> 'Internet setup' -> 'View settings' -> 'MAC

address'. Note that the WM-202 radio has both wired and wireless

MAC addresses. These are identical except for the first octet.

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 consult your network configuration.

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 configuration. Use the menu

items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System setup' -> 'Internet setup' -> '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

For each of these parameters has four groups of digits. For each group

use the Tuning/Select control to select the value needed (from 0 to

255) and press the control to enter.

If you are setting up a wireless connection manually you will also need

to enter the ESSID, the encryption type, and the encryption key.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any trouble with your Internet radio, then you may find

it useful to visit the help section on our web site at

http://www.robertsradio.co.uk/pages/wm202_faq.htm

If you have difficulty connecting the radio to your computer network, some

of these steps may help to resolve the problem:

1. Confirm 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, or that you have configured

your radio to use DHCP. Your radio will by default use DHCP. This

may be configured using the menu items ‘Main Menu' -> 'System setup'

-> 'Internet setup' -> 'Manual settings'. This will ask first whether you

wish to configure 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 configuration

completely manually, refer to paragraph 6.

3. Check that your network’s firewall 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 configure Microsoft's Windows built-in firewall appropriately.

Other firewall software may require configuration 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 filtering).
