access). Default setting is enabled, AudioFetch recommends this be left enabled. AudioFetch system
firmware updates are rare and generally occur late at night. The AudioFetch Express checks for an
available update once just after power-on and then once every 5 hours thereafter.
If desired, the "Check now for online update" button may be clicked. A confirmation will pop up, click
the "OK" button to proceed. There is no subsequent display about an update being available or
starting, but if an update is available then it will begin automatically and the download progress is
indicated by the yellow status LED on the AudioFetch box flashing (during download). After the
download completes, AudioFetch Express will reset itself, execute the update (yellow LED will turn on
again during update), then reboot several times. Completing all of this typically takes about 20-60
seconds.
New firmware may be manually uploaded to AudioFetch Express if needed (see buttons under "Local
Update") but this would be rare and should be accomplished while receiving guidance from
AudioFetch tech support on a case-by-case basis.
"Restrict Doghouse Access" is a security feature to help prevent unauthorized access into the
Doghouse by end users of the AudioFetch system. By default, the Doghouse may be accessed at any
time so long as the correct username/password credentials are entered. By selecting a specific log-in
window of time from the dropdown box, the Doghouse will only be accessible if the initial log-in
occurs within the selected number of minutes after power-on. The choices are: 1 minute, 2 minutes,
5 minutes, 10 minutes, and "Forever". If an initial log-in does not occur within the selected time
window, then the Doghouse becomes and remains completely inaccessible until the next power cycle
occurs. For example, if a 1 minute time window is selected, you must log-in to the Doghouse within 1
minute of power-on (it's actually 1 minute from the time the green status LED turns on solid). Once
successfully logged-in, the Doghouse will remain accessible indefinitely, until either: the next power
cycle, or the "Disable" button is clicked. If access to the Doghouse is needed again, just power cycle
the box and log-in again within the 1 minute window.
The "Blink LEDs" section provides checkboxes for each of the three status LEDs on the AudioFetch
Express. When any of these checkboxes are enabled, the normal status display is temporarily
replaced by the enabled LEDs blinking. This is simply a way to force the status LEDs on a particular
box to blink – which can be useful for identifying specific boxes in a multi-box installation. Be sure to
uncheck all of these to return the LEDs to normal display of status.
Clicking the "Restore Factory Settings" button clears most AudioFetch Doghouse settings, restoring to
factory default values, but does not restore the networking mode settings on the NETWORK
SETTINGS page. AudioFetch will automatically reboot after clicking this button. After performing a
factory restore, Doghouse settings should be reviewed and adjusted as necessary (don't forget that
the username/password will be reset back to default ADMIN/admin as well).
