SiriusXM Music for Business
Grace Digital SXBR2 and SXBR3 - Network Set Up Guide
This document outlines steps for (1) connecting your grace
digital player to you network, and (2) allowing it to communicate
with the SiriusXM servers in order to stream music.
Step 1: Connect Player to Your Network
Wired Connection
1. Using a wired connection (Ethernet cable) and a DHCP or static IP, connect the player to your network.
a. Make sure your DHCP server does not have MAC address filtering enabled. If MAC filtering is enabled, then add player's Ethernet MAC
address to your DHCP MAC filter to allow the player to connect to your network.
i. To locate the player's Ethernet MAC address
1. Connect player using an Ethernet cable to a network that does not have MAC address filtering enabled. In some cases,
taking the player home and connecting it there could help you quickly locate the player's Ethernet MAC address.
2. Once connected, select: Home > Settings > Network Info > scroll to MAC Address at the bottom of the list.
Wireless Connection
Note: The player will not function on Wi-Fi networks that ask users to accept terms of service before granting internet access. If your Wi-Fi
network requires this, you will need to use a different Wi-Fi network.
1. Using a wireless connection and a DHCP or static IP, connect the player to your network.
a. Make sure your DHCP server/Router/Access Point does not have MAC address filtering enabled.
b. If MAC filtering is enabled, add player's Wi-Fi MAC address to your MAC filter on the DHCP server/Router/Access Point to allow
the player to connect to your network.
i. To locate the player's Wi-Fi MAC address
1. Connect player using a wireless connection to a Wi-Fi network that does not have MAC address filtering enabled and does
not require users to accept terms of service. In some cases, taking the player home and connecting it there could help you
quickly locate the player's Wi-Fi MAC address.
2. Once connected, select: Home > Settings > Network Info > scroll to MAC Address at the bottom of the list.
NOTE: When connected over a Wi-Fi network, depending on number of Wi-Fi users/devices connected to the wireless access-point/router in
that network and its usage, the music may fade in and out. Therefore, Wi-Fi connectivity is not recommended. Please use a wired connection
where available. If Wi-Fi must be used, we recommend that a dedicated access-point/router or one with limited number of users/devices and
sufficient bandwidth (minimum 1.5 Mbps download speed) be used to connect the player.
Step 2: Open External Ports and Whitelist SiriusXM Domain Names
Note: This allows the player to communicate with SiriusXM servers (to verify credentials and stream music)
1. Whitelist SiriusXM Streaming Servers
SiriusXM streaming services use the Akamai Content Delivery Network for delivering content to the player/receiver. The player/receiver
uses the following URLs for content.
• mountain.siriusxm.com
• akamaized.net
• *ntp.org
Because these URLs are appended with dynamic information, whitelisting of the URL must be limited to the base URL.
