Network Config
This menu enables you to set your Minx Xi'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 Minx Xi to a new location for instance.
By default the Minx Xi 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 Minx Xi 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 Minx Xi 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 Minx Xi 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 Minx Xi 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

The Minx Xi 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.
Enter the network name
This option allows the Minx Xi 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.

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 Minx Xi 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 Minx Xi 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 Minx Xi will now display 'Auto (DHCP)? YES / NO'. Turn the Minx Xi's rotary dial
to select 'NO' and then press SELECT.
