Page 20: Reference Information - Network Traffic
7. Reference Information - Network Traffic When AudioFetch Express is used in Access Point Mode, the built-in Wi-Fi is compatible with all required network traffic to/from connected mobile devices. However when Client Mode is used to connect to a pre-existing network, it is important to ensure that the required network traffic is able to flow between AudioFetch Express and mobile devices running the AudioFetch App. -
Page 21: Regulatory Compliance Statements
Fallback discovery traffic is required only if the network blocks standard SSDP discovery mechanism. If SSDP fails then AudioFetch will automatically fall back to alternate discovery mechanisms. In some cases, with a complex network and tight security restrictions on traffic, a DNS discovery method is required.
