USER MANUAL - DMW300 NETWORK | FM | USB RECEIVER & PLAYER
5.1.1.8. Installing a WiFi Dongle and setting up WiFi access.
Please insert a USB Wifi dongle into the rear-panel USB type-A socket. Make sure that the DMW300
os located in near proximity of your access point (max. 2m) to make the below settings.
Note: The USB Wifi dongle must be based on a Ralink RT5370 chipset. If you insert a different type of
Wifi dongle, the unit will show "device not supported" and the WiFi function will not be available.
Once the correct WiFi dongle is inserted, make sure you are in the SET_MENU root and navigate to
SET_MENU>NETWORK_SETUP>WIRELESS_LAN, then press the wheel to invoke ENTER. The follow-
ing settings can be made:
Access point editing. Scroll to ADD/REMOVE AP and press the wheel to invoke ENTER. Scroll to
ADD AP and press the wheel to ENTER. A list of APs (access points or Wi-Fi routers) around will be
shown. The signal strength of each AP is shown on the right hand edge. If the AP is protected with
security passkey, a lock icon will be placed at the beginning of the row. Scroll with the NAVIGATION
wheel to the AP you want to connect to and press the wheel to ENTER. If the Wi-Fi router does not
have security implemented, the DMW300 will connect to it immediately. In case the Wi-Fi Router
implements one of the WEP, WPA or WPA2 security protocols, you will be prompted to enter the
necessary passphrase in a pop-up window. Use the NAVIGATION wheel to choose the character to be
applied, starting from the first digit of the passphrase. Press the wheel to ENTER when the desired
character is highlighted (the central, shaded character); the chosen character will be applied to the
respective digit and data entry progresses to the next digit. Press BWD to delete the last character
if you make a mistake. When the correct passkey has been entered, press BACK and a pop up window
will prompt you to Save & Exit or Ignore changes. Confirm Save & Exit by pressing the wheel to ENTER
and this will start the authentication process. A sucessful authentication will be indicated by a brief
display of "Associated!" and the display will return to the ADD/REMOVE AP. You can continue to add
more Wi-Fi AP if there is more than one Wi-Fi AP in the vicinity.
Note: This is the only menu where a change can be saved without leaving the SET menu, for the
convenience of being able to check whether association with a newly added AP works.
When there is more than one AP around that has been associated, you can choose the AP you want
to use. Go to SET_MENU>NETWORK_SETUP>WIRELESS_LAN. Scroll to ENTER_AP and press the
wheel to ENTER. Scroll and press the wheel to ENTER to choose the particular AP you want to use.
In case you want to delete an AP, go to ROOT>SETUP>NETWORK_SETUP> WIRELESS_LAN>ADD/
REMOVE_AP, then scroll to REMOVE_AP and press the wheel to ENTER. Scroll and press the wheel
to ENTER to choose the particular AP you want to delete.
Similarly, when you have to edit the AP (for example, the security pass key has been changed), go to
ROOT>SETUP>NETWORK_SETUP>WIRELESS_LAN>EDIT_AP, and press the wheel to ENTER. Scroll to
the item you want to edit and edit accordingly.
IP address and DNS address assignment. The IP address and the DNS address can either be
assigned by hand or automatically by the DHCP server (default) in the local network or statically. Go to
SET_MENU>NETWORK_SETUP>WIRELESS_LAN and choose IP:[Dynamic]. A pop up window will
prompt you to select either Dynamic or Fixed. No further action is needed if you choose Dynamic. If you
choose Fixed, you will be prompted with IP:?, GW:?, NW:? and DNS:?. Step through each item and
supply the network parameters in turn. Unless you are tech savvy enough, it is recommended that you
stay with Dynamic to allow the local DHCP server to supply the network parameters automatically. In
the case you need to use a dedicated DNS server, you can specify one even if you choose Dynamic
under IP:Dynamic. Go to SET_MENU>NETWORK_SETUP>WIRELESS_LAN> DNS:[Dynamic] and press
the wheel to ENTER. Choose FIXED in the pop up window and enter the desired DNS address and
press the wheel to ENTER. The DMW300 will skip the DNS address supplied by the DHCP and use
your designated DNA address.
5.1.1.9. Checking the network status
You can always check the network connection status (the AP that is being connected, the current
network parameters, Wi-Fi signal strength and the Internet connection). To do so, make sure you are
in the SET_MENU root and navigate to SET_MENU>NETWORK_SETUP>CURRENT_STATUS, then
press the wheel to invoke ENTER. If the network setup is correct, the network equipment and the
Receiver are working and your ISP service is intact, you will see Internet: Connected. Sometimes, if
your ISP provider network has a problem, even if your Wi-Fi connection is working, you still cannot
connect to Internet. If the Internet connection fails, it will show Internet: No connect.
