NAC-N 272

In addition to playing streamed audio via a local network,
the NAC-N 272 can play audio over a Bluetooth wireless
connection from appropriately equipped playback devices.
Bluetooth connection is configured by default to be secure
so a NAC-N 272 must be paired with specific playback
devices.

Note: Pairing between Bluetooth devices means that the
devices “know” and “remember” each other. Once paired,
Bluetooth devices can connect automatically when within
range.

Note: Bluetooth wireless connection has a relatively
limited range. A maximum of around 10 metres is typical
in domestic environments, however physical obstructions
in the transmission path may result in reduced range.

To pair a NAC-N 272 with a Bluetooth audio device select
the Bluetooth input and press the handset
play/pause key ( ).

The NAC-N 272 will enter “discovery mode” and become
available for pairing in the Bluetooth device Bluetooth setup
menu.

Note: The default NAC-N 272 Bluetooth name
incorporates the last four characters of the unit’s MAC
address. The MAC address can be found listed in the
Setup menu under Network Settings.

Note: Up to sixteen Bluetooth devices can be paired
simultaneously. If a seventeenth device is paired the
oldest paired device will be deleted.

Once successfully paired with a Bluetooth device, the
NAC-N 272 will be available to the audio apps on the device.
The NAC-N 272 will switch automatically to its Bluetooth
input when in receipt of a Bluetooth stream.

The Bluetooth input setup menu offers further Bluetooth
configuration options and setup parameters, including
the option to configure an “open” Bluetooth connection
that does not require pairing. See Section 4.3.8 for more
information.

Note: If multiple devices are paired, the NAC-N 272 will
play from the first device from which it receives a stream.
If a stream from a different paired device is required, the
first device must be disconnected. Press the handset exit
key to disconnect.

Bluetooth pairing and playback with an Android mobile
device is illustrated in the diagrams. Bluetooth on an iOS
device is similar.
