Naim Audio SuperUniti - Manual (Page 14)

Note: If SuperUniti is connected to the network both
wirelessly and via Ethernet (wired), the Ethernet connection
will take priority.
4.6.1 Wireless Network
Connection Set Up
If the Wireless parameter is
selected in the Network Settings
menu the Select Network menu
will display a list of the available
networks. An option not to use a wireless connection is
also provided. Use the handset
up ( 5 ) or down ( 6 ) keys
to scroll through the list and the ok/list key to select a
network.
Note: SuperUniti is compatible with most commonly used
Wi-Fi standards. Routers that support 802.11b and 802.11g
will work, however those with 802.11n compatibility are
recommended for best results.
Note: As with any wireless network hardware, SuperUniti
connection reliability will be affected by both network
router performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise
the possibility of poor connection reliability, SuperUniti
should be connected to network audio sources by no
more than one wireless “leg”. Other “legs” necessary
between SuperUniti and the network audio sources should
be wired.
Note: SuperUniti cannot connect to a “hidden” wireless
network.
If the selected network is secure
and requires a passphrase or
access key to join, SuperUniti will
display an alert message. Pressing
the handset
ok/list key will then
open a text entry screen for entry
of the passphrase or access key.
Use the handset numeric/text
keys to enter the passphrase or
access key taking care to ensure
that the letter case is correct.
Press the handset
ok/list key
when text entry is complete. In
the illustration the passphrase is
“flatfish”.
If the network is successfully
joined SuperUniti will display a
confirmation screen.
If an incorrect passphrase or
access key is entered SuperUniti
will display an alert message.
Note: As a security measure,
a router may also require the
SuperUniti’s MAC address to be entered before allowing
it to join the wireless network. This type of security feature
SuperUniti Setup
Select External if an external power amplifier is to be used
in place of the SuperUniti internal power amplifier. The
preamplifier and subwoofer outputs are enabled when
External is selected.
Select All Outputs if an external power amplifier or
subwoofer is to be used in conjunction with the SuperUniti
internal power amplifier.
The speaker Max. Volume and Balance parameters specify
maximum allowed volume, and the channel balance
respectively.
4.5 The Headphones Menu
The Headphones setup menu
enables the
Max. Volume
parameter to be specified:
Parameter Options
Max. Volume: 0 to 100 (adjust
using handset
6
or 5 keys)
4.6 The Network Settings Menu
The Network Settings menu
enables SuperUniti network
parameters to be customised
to suit the router and network.
The options are tabulated and
described in the following sections:
Parameter Options
Name: User definable (text entry)
Default: Super-xxxx
Wireless: Not Used / Wireless Network Names
Status: Connected / No Signal / Login Failure /
Busy / Etc.
DHCP: Yes / No
The Name parameter enables the SuperUniti’s default
network name to be changed.
The Wireless parameter enables a wireless network to be
chosen and joined. See Section 4.6.1 below for detailed
wireless set up notes.
Network Status displays the current network connection
status.
The DHCP parameter enables the SuperUniti network
settings to be modified. In most cases, specifying Yes and
leaving SuperUniti set to DHCP, will be the appropriate
option. See Section 4.6.2 below for notes on non-DHCP
network connection.
Note: Devices installed on a network have an IP address
through which they are identified by all the other items
on the network. DHCP is a set of rules that enable the
automatic allocation of addresses as items are connected
(or switched on while connected) to the network.
SuperUniti is set up by default to use DHCP.
