CAAS Audio Digital Audio Server User Manual & Warranty - page 10
DLNA / UPnP Audio Interface, Networking & File Sharing
The DAS can connect to a home network and play audio files stored on DLNA / UPnP enabled devices.
The DAS can be connected to a TCP/IP network via a wired connection. Network connection enables the
DAS to play audio files stored on DLNA / UPnP servers, computers and network drives. The DAS has a
standard Ethernet socket fitted on the rear panel. For wired network connection this socket should be
connected to a spare Ethernet socket on your network router.
Networking the Digital Audio Server (DAS)
1. Connect a CAT5 LAN cable to the LAN port on the rear of the audio server and the other end to a
free LAN port on your router.
2. The audio server should now be networked. The DAS is DHCP aware by default, so if connected to
a DHCP enabled router (most are), your router will assign an IP address to the audio server.
3. You should be able to access the audio server through the assigned IP address. If you download
“Fing” for your smart phone it will scan all your network attached devices and return their IP address
etc.. this can be quite useful.
4. Alternatively you can view / adjust the IP address and other setting in the “CAAS Audio
Configuration” window on your TV (see the section below “CAAS Audio Configuration set up”).
CAAS Audio Configuration Set Up
The audio server network settings can be configured under "Programs → CAAS Audio Configuration"; this
procedure is outlined below:
1. Switch the audio server ON, once the audio server has booted.
2. On the TV, scroll right to the "PROGRAMS" menu item, click on it, this should give you a list of
programs.
3. Scroll down to "CAAS Audio Configuration" and click on it, this should load the configuration window.
4. The configuration window has two parts (tabs) to it, "Network Configuration" and "Software Updates"
5. You can move up and down along the options and the tabs at the top left and right.
6. On the Network Configuration page, you can configure either:
◦
Ethernet (Hard Wired) or Wireless (WiFi).
◦
Whether the IP address is fixed or comes from DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
◦
If you are not using DHCP, IP address, subnet masks and gateway addressed can all be
configured.
7. On the Software update page, you can select: "Check for software upgrade", once selected the DAS
will search for any software upgrade and feedback if they are available, it is recommended to follow
the on-screen advice during the upgrade process and it is recommended that you do NOT reboot or
power off the unit during an upgrade procedure.
Note: Please refer to your router manual for further details about configuring DHCP and changing device IP
addresses should you need to.
