Help and advice

8.1 Steps to ensure successful connection to your wireless network

Your wireless network needs to be visible, not ‘hidden’, and broadcasting an SSID (network name) in

order for Siesta Flow to detect it. If you’d like to enter your network settings manually and leave your

network conﬁgured as ‘hidden’, then follow the instructions on page 28, ‘Manual setup’.

Siesta Flow cannot connect to wireless networks that are access controlled, such as certain ofﬁce s

networks, without special permissions.

Siesta Flow needs to be positioned within the range of your wireless network, which will be s

reduced if there are brick walls in between the router and the radio. Although Siesta Flow is very

good at picking up wireless networks, the strength of the Wi-Fi signal will vary depending on your

router and surrounding environment. If Siesta Flow fails to ﬁnd your wireless network, or the signal

drops off, move closer to the router and select another station.

Unless your network is ‘open’ (this is generally not recommended due to the risk of unauthorised s

access), make sure you have your WEP, WPA or WPA2 key to hand. You can ﬁnd this by logging in

to your router’s settings using a web address (found in the router’s instruction manual) and a user

name and password (sometimes found on the casing of the router itself or by contacting your ISP).

8.3 Steps to ensure successful media streaming

In order to share your music ﬁles with Siesta Flow you need to download and install Flow Server s

from www.thelounge.com (available as a free download when you register) or install Windows

Media Player 11. These programmes share your media ﬁles over your wireless network using the

UPnP protocol.

Make sure your PC is switched on or in hibernation. If your media ﬁles are stored in a Network s

Attached Storage (NAS) device then your PC does not need to be switched on.

Siesta Flow cannot play ﬁles which are restricted by Digital Rights Management (DRM).s

Make sure your music ﬁles are saved in a supported ﬁle format: MP2, MP3, WMA4, WMA7, s

WMA8, WMA9, AAC (including .m4a) or Real Audio. For more details see Chapter 9, Technical

speciﬁcations
