Last but not leas t. As you've probably noticed, we c an't help but p raise our little baby ex- trava gantly at every opport unity. We ho pe you enjoy your NOXON audio a s m u c h a s w e d o , and would like to sugge st that you browse th is manual in detai l when you ge t the chance.
You need to b e aware of some basic info rmation before yo u start ... Setup, safety an d care information. · Please place the device on an even, dry su rface to prevent fire and elect rical shock hazards as well as possible d a mage to t he player itself.
From openin g the package to inst allation Start by maki ng su re that the contents of the pac kage are complete. The NOXON package should contain a t least the follo wing items: The NOXON receiver module, toget her with two fashionable plastic feet, a devi ce-specific power suppl y, an audio cabl e (3.
Co n n e c t i o n s . Once you have removed the packaging mat erial, connect the NOXON to an A C outlet using the included po wer supply. The plug o f the power su pply can only be inserted in one of the two sockets on t he device. Please use only the included power supply wit h the NOXON.
Network in tegr ation—one wa y or the other . Before we ac tually start settin g up the NOXON, w e have to mak e a distin ction between two different ways of integratin g the audio adapter. Ad hoc con- nection NOXON au- dio A - direct communication.
Set ting up a dir ect (ad hoc) connection to your PC. To est ablish a direct connect ion to a co mputer—in most cases a not ebook with an integrated wirele ss network adapter—let's fi rst have a look at how to set u p a Windo ws PC for an ad ho c network so that t he NOXON can access it.
Double-click the net work connect ion you will be using, followed by “P roperties” to open its settings. Go t o the “Wireless Net - works” tab for an overview similar to the one shown h ere. Some wireless adapters provide these functions via their own software, in which case you should find comparab le instruc- tions in its documentation.
In the already-familiar window, click “Add...” to assign a variety of paramet ers to your a d hoc netw ork. First ente r the name of the network , also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier). The other option s shown would work with the NOXON and can be selected.
Pre paring to use the device with a wirele ss r outer . Using the NOXON wit h a wireless router generally do es not require any configu- ration work on the router itself. This, howe ver, depends on the extent to whi ch the netw ork has been s et up with an e ye toward s ecurity.
To identif y or not t o identify : the MAC address. The so-called MAC address is a unique identifier assigned a ll network d evices. The MAC ad- dress is permanent ly assigned to the device and cannot be modified.
But now, switch on the NO X ON. When setting up the N OXON, it's no longer ne cessary to dis tinguish between the ty pes of n et- work in which the dev ice will be used, as it supports all types—direct, or connectio ns via ac- cess points.
In this case and others, it will be nec essary to enter letters using the n umerical keypad of th e remote control. For more information, please see the “The remote cont rol.
Open the Internet Explorer, select “Internet Opt ions” from the “Tool s” menu and select the “Connections” t ab. On the bottom third of the tab, you'll find the “LAN Settings...” but - ton. P ress the button to open the dialog box shown here.
Also with profiles. By the w ay, you can s tore up to th ree such network pr ofiles—t hat way you don't have to e nter a full set of parameters every time you move th e NOXON to a different network. The profiles can be edited easily wi th the N OXON Manager PC application.
Playing MP 3/WMA files from t he local netw ork. MP3 / WMA file UPnP server (Musicmatch) Computer in network NOXON audio You can share music files for pla yback in your netwo rk using special server soft ware running on a computer or oth er device. The NOX ON requ ires a UPnP - compatible server to provide it with files.

UPnP media server alt ernatives. It's very possible that some people really do n't like Musicmatch Jukebo x and feel more at home with a different media application . That's why we would like t o introduce a number of alternatives that were available at the time of p rinting.
The application—the NO XON M anager . The NO XON Manager let s you convenient ly check the stat us of NO XON dev ices in your net- work, manage their profiles, and update the op erating system of the NO XON—from any PC in your networ k.

Is the data communication truly sec ure? Does the NOXON represent a se curity risk for my network? If your network is WEP -encry pted, data communicati on between it and the rou ter will be just as sec ure as with any other client. Th e N OXON therefore does not represent a pot en- tial point of attac k for hackers.
