Page 11 Conﬁ guration If your network allows automatic conﬁ guration the radio will acquire a network address, and will then enter the main Internet Radio menu (paragraph 13 overleaf). There are two indicator lights incorporated into the RJ-45 connector. If you have problems with your wired connection, they may help you to identify the possible cause of the problem.
Page 12 Connecting to your computer network - cont. 8. If your network is not found, it is possible that it is conﬁ gured such that the SSID is not broadcast (sometimes referred to as hidden). If this is the case then the name will not be visible in the list (there may be a blank entry).
Page 13 Conﬁ guration WEP keys are 10 or 26 characters long (using 0 - 9, and A - F). Some wireless routers can also use pass-phrases for WEP but these do not conform to a deﬁ ned standard and are not supported. WPA keys are usually set up using a pass-phrase of between 8 and 63 characters.
