Connections. Once you have removed the packaging material, connect the NOXON to an AC outlet using the included power supply. The plug of the power supply can only be inserted in one of the two sockets on the device. Please use only the included power supply with the NOXON. While some universal power supplies have the same plug and voltage, their amperage isn't high enough. Should you need a replacement, please contact our service. But now let's connect it to your sound system. The

Network integration—one way or the other. Before we actually start setting up the NOXON, we have to make a distinction between two different ways of integrating the audio adapter. Ad hoc con- NOXON au- nection dio A - direct communication. On one hand, you may wish to set up the NOXON to communicate directly with your desktop or laptop PC, from device to device without an access point (AP). A wireless device-to-device connection is known as an ad hoc network, from Latin: “for this

Setting up a direct (ad hoc) connection to your PC. To establish a direct connection to a computer—in most cases a notebook with an integrated wireless network adapter—let's first have a look at how to set up a Windows PC for an ad hoc network so that the NOXON can access it. A wireless network adapter can only be set up for direct device-to-device (ad hoc) communication, OR for communication with a network access point (infrastructure). Se- lecting one mode will automatically disable

Double-click the network connection you will be using, followed by “Properties” to open its settings. Go to the “Wireless Net- works” tab for an overview similar to the one shown here. Some wireless adapters provide these functions via their own software, in which case you should find comparable instruc- tions in its documentation. Alternatively, you can put a check next to “Use Windows to configure my wireless network set- tings”—if you know what you're doing. Switch to the “Adv

In the already-familiar window, click “Add...” to assign a variety of parameters to your ad hoc network. First enter the name of the network, also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier). The other options shown would work with the NOXON and can be selected. You can also use a WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key by specifying it later during the further configuration of the device. After a few moments, the dialog box should look similar to this one. The icon in front of the

Preparing to use the device with a wireless router. Using the NOXON with a wireless router generally does not require any configu- ration work on the router itself. This, however, depends on the extent to which the network has been set up with an eye toward security. As the media have frequently reported, it's not very advisable to use a router exclusively with its default settings, as that leaves the network wide open for intrusion or misuse of the Internet connection. The advantage of

To identify or not to identify: the MAC address. The so-called MAC address is a unique identifier assigned all network devices. The MAC ad- dress is permanently assigned to the device and cannot be modified. They can therefore be used to configure routers to permit only devices with specific MAC addresses to access the network or the Internet. In such a case, it will be necessary to configure the router with the NOXON's MAC address so that it will be able to establish a network connectio

But now, switch on the NOXON. When setting up the NOXON, it's no longer necessary to distinguish between the types of net- work in which the device will be used, as it supports all types—direct, or connections via ac- cess points. To start the NOXON for the first time, press the ON/OFF button on the remote control marked with the attractive icon. When switching the device on for the first time, it will display a language selection dialog. This selection refers to the NOXON's menus and

In this case and others, it will be necessary to enter letters using the numerical keypad of the remote control. For more information, please see the “The remote control.” chapter on page 22 for detailed instructions on making such entries. But let's get back on track: When selecting a network protected by WEP encryption, you will be prompted to enter the appropriate key. Your network administrator will be able to give you this information. The information in parentheses does not appe

Open the Internet Explorer, select “Internet Options” from the “Tools” menu and select the “Connections” tab. On the bottom third of the tab, you'll find the “LAN Settings...” but- ton. Press the button to open the dialog box shown here. If a proxy server is specified here, please also use it for the NOXON—assuming that your desktop PC and the NOXON will be using the same Internet access. Select “Change”, and enter the name (“proxy_internet”) or the IP address, con- firm

Also with profiles. By the way, you can store up to three such network profiles—that way you don't have to enter a full set of parameters every time you move the NOXON to a different network. The profiles can be edited easily with the NOXON Manager PC application. Use the configuration menu to edit or switch the device's profiles. For more information, see page 24. Playback options.

The NOXON requires a UPnP-compatible server to provide it with files. A simple Windows file share will be ignored. Rather than relying on inflexible static file shares, the NOXON takes advantage of a flexible database structure via
