Help and advice

7.1 Steps to ensure successful connection to your wireless network

Your wireless network needs to be visible, not 'hidden', and broadcasting an SSID (network name)
in order for EVOKE Flow to detect it. If you'd like to enter your network settings manually and leave
your network configured as 'hidden', then follow the instructions on page 27, 'Manual setup'.
EVOKE Flow cannot connect to wireless networks that are access controlled, such as certain
office networks, without special permissions.
EVOKE Flow needs to be positioned within the range of your wireless network, which will be
reduced if there are brick walls in between the router and the radio. Although EVOKE Flow is very
good at picking up wireless networks, the strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on your
router and surrounding environment. If EVOKE Flow fails to find your wireless network, or the
signal drops off, move closer to the router and select another station.
Unless your network is 'open' (this is generally not recommended due to the risk of unauthorised
access), make sure you have your WEP, WPA or WPA2 key to hand. You can find this by logging in
to your router's settings using a web address (found in the router's instruction manual) and a user
name and password (sometimes found on the casing of the router itself or by contacting your ISP).

7.3 Steps to ensure successful media streaming

In order to share your music files with EVOKE Flow you need to download and install Flow Server
from www.thelounge.com (available as a free download when you register) or install Windows
Media Player 11. These programmes share your media files over your wireless network using the
UPnP protocol.
Make sure your PC is switched on or in hibernation. If your media files are stored in a Network
Attached Storage (NAS) device then your PC does not need to be switched on.
EVOKE Flow cannot play files which are restricted by Digital Rights Management (DRM).
