6.2.1 Connecting to a router
Using the iRadio with a router generally does not require any configuration work on the router itself. Special
settings may be advisable for security reasons, however.
As the media have frequently reported, it's not very advisable to use a router
exclusively with its default settings, as that leaves the network wide open for intrusion
or misuse of the Internet connection. The advantage of using the router with its default
settings is naturally the simplicity with which devices accessing the router can be
configured. However, since the need for a basic level of network security has generally been accepted,
please read “
4.3 For deeper understanding: about routers, SSID, MAC & IPs” for background information on
the relevant terms.
For more information on setting up a router, see p.
26. First, we would like to describe an alternative to
access via a router: a direct wireless link to an individual computer.
6.2.2 Direct (ad hoc) radio connection with a PC
To establish a direct connection between the iRadio and a computer—in most cases a
notebook with an integrated wireless network adapter—let's first have a look at how to
set up a Windows PC for an ad hoc network in six steps so that the iRadio can access
it.
A wireless network adapter can only be set up for direct device-to-device (ad
hoc) communication, OR for communication with a network access point
(infrastructure). Selecting one mode will automatically disable the other.
Please disconnect or disable all network connections other than the wireless one
during the setup to eliminate possible sources of danger. This will ensure that Windows will not
attempt to communicate with the iRadio by any other way.
To do so, click “Start”, open the “Control Panel” and “Network Connections” under Windows. This will dis-
play an overview of all available network resources (see the illustration below). Disable all of the entries
other than your wireless adapter by right-clicking the respective symbol of the connection to open their
context menus and selecting “Disable”. Everything but wireless. –
Some systems will also display a “Network Bridge” here. Do not disable or bypass this until all other at-
tempts fail.
Unfortunately, experience has shown that Windows occasionally develops a completely inscrutable life of its
own that cannot be dealt with effectively using esoteric methods. If the idea doesn't bother you too much,
simply use the crude but effective approach and pull the plug of the network cable to support our efforts.
