4.7.1 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.

Note: NAC-N preamplifiers are compatible with the 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, connection
reliability will be affected by both network router
performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise
the possibility of poor connection reliability, NAC-N
preamplifiers should be connected to network audio
sources by no more than one wireless “leg”. Other
“legs” necessary between a NAC-N preamplifier and the
network audio sources should be wired.

Note: NAC-N preamplifiers cannot connect to a “hidden”
wireless network.

If the selected network is secure
and requires a password to join, an
alert message will display. Pressing
the handset ok/list key will then
open a text entry screen for entry of
the password.

Use the handset numeric/text keys
to enter the password 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 password is
“flatfish”.

If the network is successfully joined
a confirmation screen will display.

If an incorrect password is entered
an alert message will display.

Note: Some routers may also
require a MAC address to be
entered before allowing NAC-N
preamplifiers to join a wireless network. This type of
security feature is known as ‘MAC address filtering’.
NAC-N preamplifier MAC addresses are shown in both
the Network Settings and Factory Settings menus.

Note: The wireless password key is created when the
wireless router is first set up and could be a word or
a series of numbers and letters. If the password is not
known, check on the router settings page or with the
person who initially set up the router.

Note: If a router offers multiple security configurations,
only the most secure one will be offered.

Note: If WEP security is used the router should be set to
“auto” or “open” authentication.

If the selected network is insecure
and requires no password, an alert
message will display. Pressing the
handset ok/list key will immediately
connect your NAC-N preamplifier to
the network and display a confirmation screen.

Note: Wireless connection difficulties can sometimes be
resolved by changing the wireless connection channel in
the router settings.

4.7.2 Non-DHCP (Static)
Network Connection

If DHCP is de-selected in the
Network Settings menu, five
further parameters will be
displayed.
