10 | Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share network drives?
•
Yes. You must first share the drive (using standard Windows
o
sharing) from the PC that contains the multimedia content you
want access to. Then go to the host PC where the Musicmatch
Jukebox UPnP Server software is installed. Map the shared drive,
then open the MusicLibrary and add the content from the mapped
network drive as if it were on your local hard drive.
What happens if I share several gigs of multimedia content?
•
The Musicmatch Jukebox application may take some time to share
o
very large directories of content. This highly depends on the speed
of your host PC. You can however access multimedia that was
already shared while you wait for the program to update the
SMCWAA-B Wireless Audio Adapter.
What happens if there is interference in my environment?
•
Interference affects the wireless signal of the SMCWAA-B as it
o
would any other wireless networking device and the performance
may be adversely affected. You should attempt to minimize
interference in your network environment as much as possible.
Can I share files from my CD-ROM?
•
Yes. You simply need to go through the standard process of adding
o
them to the Musicmatch MusicLibrary as if they were stored on
your local hard drive. (See Section 4, Step 5)
Can I use two or more SMCWAA-B Wireless Audio Adapters on
•
my network?
Yes. You can have up to 10 SMCWAA-B devices running at the
o
same time on your wireless network.
Can I have more than one host PC simultaneously running the
•
Musicmatch Jukebox UPnP Server software on one network?
Yes. You can have up to 10 UPnP Servers running at the same time

on your network.
What is a Wireless LAN?
•
A local area network that transmits over the air typically in an
o
unlicensed frequency such as the 2.4GHz band. A wireless LAN
does not require lining up devices for line of sight transmission like
IrDA. Wireless access points (base stations) are connected to an
Ethernet hub or server and transmit a radio frequency over an area
of several hundred to a thousand feet which can penetrate walls
and other non-metal barriers. Roaming users can be handed off
from one access point to another like a cellular phone system.
Laptops use wireless network cards that plug into an existing
