Network Audio: Setting Up
Streaming from Windows PC
using Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player (version 11 or newer) is the most popular UPnP
server client. There are alternative UPnP platforms which can be used, but
this description deals with the process of configuring your WMP system.
First, ensure that your PC and AXiS XS are both connected to the same network.
In WMP, add the audio files and folders you want to share with your
1
AXiS XS to the Media Library. Select "Library", then "Add to Library".
To ensure that AXiS XS will be able to gain access to your shared
2
media, turn Media Sharing on. Select AXiS XS and click "Allow"
as pictured. Your PC is now ready to stream music to AXiS XS.
The WMP UPnP service runs in the background, so you don't actually need
to have the WMP software running to access your files from AXiS XS.
Streaming from an Apple Mac
To connect AXiS XS to your Apple Mac computer, a third–
party UPnP server application is required.
There are a number of these apps available for download
online. One of the most common and easy-to-use is called
EyeConnect. This is available from: www.elgato.com
Once you've downloaded and installed EyeConnect to your MAC, open up
your System Preferences control panel and under "Other", select EyeConnect.
Ensure that AXiS XS is connected to the same network as your Mac –
AXiS XS will appear on your EyeConnect devices list as pictured, right.
Make sure the "Enable" box next to AXiS XS is ticked and that the
"Access" drop down menu is set to "Enable New Devices".
Your MAC is now ready to stream to AXiS XS. EyeConnect
runs discreetly in the background, so there's no need to open
the control panel each time you wish to stream.
