1 Installation

STEP 1

Plug a standard (straight) network cable (f, not included) into the network port (G) of the Exstreamer and the other end into the hub or switch. A crossover network cable

(not included) can also be used for a direct connection to the PC.

2 Network configuration from web browser

The BARIX Store&Play application does not require any initial network configuration since it’s using DHCP by default to configure network settings dynamically. If a static (fixed) network setting needs to be used, please follow steps 1 to 3, otherwise continue from step 4.

STEP 2 i) Plug standard headphones or the earphone (d, not included) into the headphone

output (D) and listen.

ii) Plug the RCA cable (e) into the LINE OUT outputs (E) and connect the cable to

inputs of your mixing console or monitoring device.

iii) Remove plastic strip coming out next to RS-232 connector (F) to initialize RTC

battery.

Vi) OPTIONAL (*): Plug a USB memory stick containing at least the configuration file

(player.cfg). If the playlists (.M3U) and corresponding audio tracks (.MP3) are

already on the USB stick, the device won’t have to download them from the

content server before starting playback.

(*) The Exstreamer Store&Play includes an internal microSD memory card (except

NoSD model) that can be used as local storage instead of the USB memory stick.

STEP 1

Open a web browser and type the IP address that was announced by the Exstreamer

Store&Play during boot-up (e.g.: 192.168.0.12) and press Enter.

STEP 2

Click on the “SETTINGS” tab and select “Static” on the drop-down menu next to “Protocol” field (by default is set to “DHCP”) under the

“NETWORK SETTINGS” section.

STEP 3

Connect the Power supply (b) to the device (socket H) and then to an appropriate electrical outlet.

STEP 4 i) The Exstreamer Store&Play will now acquire an IP address and announce it over

the audio outputs. DHCP is the default method for acquiring automatically an IP

address from the DHCP server in the network. ii) If audio outputs were not connected in Step 2 and the SonicIP® announcement

of acquired IP address was not heard, it is recommended to use the “Barix Disco

very Tool” Java application (download the latest version from www.barix.com

under “Software Tools” in “Downloads” section) on your computer (Windows,

Mac or Linux) and click the “Get” button to find out which IP address the device

has obtained (see picture at the bottom of the page). Make sure that the Ethernet

address (MAC) matches the one of the device (see label on the bottom of the

device).

STEP 3

Set the IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, Primary DNS and Alternative DNS. Specifying the web server port to be used (default port is 80) is also possible. Syslog messages are sent from the Store&Play device to the destination IP address of the device where you will be collecting them.

STEP 4

Click “Submit” at the bottom of the page for the changes to take effect.

Please download the Store&Play User Manual from www.barix.com for more details about further configuration options.

3 Troubleshooting

Now that the IP address of the Exstreamer Store&Play is known, it is time to proceed to the next section for “Network configuration via web browser”. If the device’s current IP address was not discovered with the previous steps, see section ”Troubleshooting”.

• If the status LEDs (C) stay dark check the power cabling (installation step 3).

• Check if the green LINK LED (I) is lit, if it is not then check your network cabling (network port G)

• If current device settings are uncertain, the device can revert to its factory defaults by pressing the Reset button (A) until the red status LED (C) blinks (takes about 10 seconds). The device will restore the factory defaults once the button is released.
