5 Installation
Once the Barix Instreamer is connected to your network,
it will automatically receive an IP address from your
server (Internet gateways run usually a DHCP server).
If no DHCP server can be reached, our
IP IP IP IPzator zator function will search the network for a free IP
zator zator
address.
The Barix Instreamer will announce the IP address using
Sonic IP Sonic IP technology.

NOTE
When power cycling the Barix Instreamer we recommend
to disconnect/connect the power supply at the wall socket.
To prevent electrical overload of the device the power
supply should only be plugged into the wall socket with the
power supply connected to the Barix Instreamer first.
STEP 4
The Barix Instreamer will now search for a
to get an IP address and announce this address over
the earphone.
Example: 192.168.0.12 (Voice: one nine two dot ...)
Make sure you write this IP address down. If no
server is found then our
IP IP IP IPzator zator zator zator function will search the network for a free IP
address (this could take up to 5 minutes).
NOTE
Your Barix Instreamer is now ready to start working, we
recommend, however, that you set a
that the IP address will not change every time you power
up the Barix Instreamer.
