NP30

ENGLISH

Enter the network name

This option allows the NP30 to search for and connect to a particular network

name only.

Type your network name in using the alphanumeric entry screen.

If no matching network is found ‘Network not found’ will be displayed.

View Config

This menu firstly displays the IP mode (static or dynamic). This will be Auto/DHCP

(i.e. dynamic, this is the default) or alternatively Static IP.

For either mode by turning the Navigation/Select dial the NP30 will scroll through

the various current IP parameters, for instance the ESSID of the current wireless

network, Wired and Wireless MAC addresses, current IP address, (Sub)Netmask,

Gateway address etc.

Edit Config

This menu allows the selection of IP mode between static or dynamic (Auto/DHCP).

Auto/DHCP is recommended for most people in most circumstances. Static IP

requires quite a bit of knowledge about IP networks, and is for advanced users only.

The default setting is thus Auto / DHCP, here the NP30 obtains its IP address each

time you switch in on by a process called DHCP which means it is different each

time it is acquired. This process is completely automatic and much simpler than

implementing Static IP.

However sometimes it is useful (especially in large networks) to know the exact IP

address of each device, this can only be done by using static IP.

When using Static IP you will also need to enter the network mask you wish to

use and the addresses of your gateway and DNS service, note there is no way for

Cambridge Audio to know what these are in your network. Only select static IP if you

know exactly what you are doing!

To set static IP, select the ‘Settings > Network config > Edit Config’ menu and then

press SELECT.

The NP30 will now display ‘Auto (DHCP)? YES / NO’. Turn the NP30’s rotary dial to

select ‘NO’ and then press SELECT.

You will now be able to enter the fixed IP address you wish to give your NP30 by

using the rotary dial to select the desired numbers followed by pressing Navigation/

Select dial to end inputting the address.

The NP30 will now prompt you to enter the required network mask for the network.

You will be able to enter this in the same way as before for entering the IP address.

You will now need to enter the default gateway’s IP address used by the NP30 on

the network.

Finally, you will need to enter the DNS IP address for the NP30. On some networks,

you may need to enter your ISP’s DNS IP address, which should be available on your

ISP’s support page on their website.

After entering the above information, the NP30 will now try to connect to your

network. If you wish to use DHCP again simply select ‘Settings > Network config >

Edit Config’ and then set ‘Auto (DHCP)? YES / NO’ to ‘YES’.

Signal warning

The NP30 can display a warning if the Wi-Fi signal strength is low enough to be

causing reduced throughput.The options for the Signal Warning are simply Yes

or No.

Wi-Fi Region

Different parts of the world use slightly different frequencies for Wi-Fi. For best

performance you should set the NP30 to the region you live in, the current options

are US, Spain, Europe (i.e. other than Spain), Japan.

This menu contains various setup / configuration menus as shown below.

Network Config

This menu enables you to set your NP30’s network settings, scan again for a

connection to another wireless network, or to manually configure the network

parameters. This is useful if you move your NP30 to a new location for instance.

By default the NP30 will be set for Automatic wired/wireless detection and automatic

IP addressing (DHCP) which will work without setup in most circumstances (for Wi-Fi

you will need to enter your WEP/WPA key if you have one).

In Auto mode the NP30 will look for a wired connection first and then scan for

wireless connections if it doesn’t find one. It will also try to obtain an IP address

automatically from your router/DHCP server.

If you wish to make changes to your setup the NP30 displays the following

submenus.

Scan for networks

This option scans all available Wi-Fi frequencies for wireless networks and allows

you to connect to them.

The NP30 can connect to 802.11b/g or n networks (2.4GHz frequency range only

for n networks).

A list of available networks will be presented. If a particular network requires an

encryption key, a

symbol will be seen at the end of the network name.

Select your local network using the Navigation/Select dial and press it in for enter.

The NP30 will then connect to the network using a saved key (if you have previously

set one) or present you with an alphanumeric entry menu. Here you can enter the

network key you set up when setting up your wireless network.

Select each character in turn using the Navigation/Select dial and then press

navigate to the

symbol and press Navigation/Select dial to enter that key. If you

make a mistake, press

to go back one character.

The NP30 can handle keys in WEP, WPA and WPA2 formats (the choice of format is

made by appropriate settings on your router) and automatically generates the right

format from your text according to the router request.
