Network

Depending on whether the device is connected by wire (Ethernet,
Powerline)
or wirelessly (WiFi) to your home network, different settings have to
be made.
➠
Loewe recommends use of a wired network (Ethernet, Powerline)
to ensure a high stability and quality of the data link. Use a wireless
connection only if there is no option. Wireless connections can
basically get disturbed due to external influences (e.g. microwave
devices) and mostly provide a lower data transmission rate.
➠
The device must be registered in the same logical network as the
audio source (such as iPad)
Once you have carried out the relevant steps described in the chapters
"Set-up" and "Connection", switch on the unit.

Wired network

If your home network has a DHCP server (e.g. a DSL router), the setup
of the network parameters is done automatically. You do not need to
set up anything manually.

Wireless network

The unit supports two different procedures to set up a wireless network:

• WPS

• for setup via the Con guration page

The WPS procedure (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) helps to easily establish a
secure connection.
