Connection Set Up

Wireless

If the

parameter is

selected in the Network Settings

menu the Select Network menu

will display a list of the available

networks. An option not to use a wireless connection is

also provided. Use the handset

to scroll through the list and the

network.

Note:

NDS is compatible with most commonly used Wi-Fi

standards. Routers that support 802.11b and 802.11g

will work, however those with 802.11n compatibility are

recommended for best results.

Note:

As with any wireless network hardware, NDS

connection reliability will be affected by both network

router performance and Wi-Fi signal quality. To minimise

the possibility of poor connection reliability, NDS should be

connected to network audio sources by no more than one

wireless "leg". Other "legs" necessary between NDS and

the network audio sources should be wired.

Note:

NDS cannot connect to a "hidden" wireless network.

If the selected network is secure

and requires a passphrase or

access key to join, NDS will

display an alert message. Pressing

the handset

ok/list

open a text entry screen for entry

of the passphrase or access key.

Use the handset

numeric/text

keys to enter the passphrase or

access key taking care to ensure

that the letter case is correct.

Press the handset

when text entry is complete. In

the illustration the passphrase is

"flatfish".

If the network is successfully

joined NDS will display a

confirmation screen.

If an incorrect passphrase or

access key is entered NDS will

display an alert message.

Note:

As a security measure, a

router may also require the NDS's

MAC address to be entered

before allowing it to join the wireless network. This type

of security feature is known as 'MAC address filtering'.

The NDS MAC address is shown in the 'Factory settings >

System Status' page.

Note:

The wireless passphrase/access key is created when

the wireless router is first set up and could be a word or a

series of numbers and letters. If the passphrase/access key

is not known, check on the router settings page or with the

person who initially set up the router.

Note:

If a router offers multiple security configurations, NDS

will automatically offer only the most secure one.

Note:

If WEP security is used the router should be set to

"auto" or "open" authentication.

If the selected network is insecure

and requires no passphrase

or access key to join, NDS

will display an alert message.

Pressing the handset

will immediately connect NDS

to the network and display a

confirmation screen.

Note:

Wireless connection difficulties can sometimes be

resolved by changing the wireless connection channel in

the router settings.
