2. Start Up and Shut Down the Host
2.1 Start up the host
1) Use the RCA or XLR cables to connect the host to an amplifier (see “ANALOG OUTPUT” and
“XLR OUTPUT” on the rear panel).
2) Connect the host and the wireless network adapter (see 3.2).
3) Use the power cable to connect the host to the power supply (see “POWER OUTLET” on
the rear panel).
4) Once all necessary connections are made, find the power supply button above the POWER
OUTLET on the rear panel and switch it to the “on” position. Now the host is standing by.
5) Wait for about 5 seconds, then press the round button “STANDBY/ON” to turn on the host,
which is indicated by a white light on the front panel.
2.2 Shut down the host
It is highly recommended to shut down the host by tapping "shut down music server" button in
the QAT Remote software (see details in 4.7). Wait for about 10 seconds until the white light on
the front panel turns off, meaning the host is standing by. Now you can press “STANDBY/ON” to
turn on the host again, or completely shut it down by switching off the power supply. Irregular
operation may cause unexpected data loss or damage to the machine.
3. Connect iPad and the Host
There are two ways to connect iPad and the host:
3.1 Using an external wireless router
If the user has a wireless router network in home, the existing router and the host can be
connected by an Ethernet cable. The user needs to insert one end of the Ethernet cable in the
LAN interface of the wireless router, and the other end into the RJ45 interface on the rear panel
of the host. Then follow the steps below:
1) Tap “Settings” on the iPad screen, and find “WLAN”. Choose the correct network (“QAT-
your S/N”), and type in code “QATQATQAT”, if it is required. Then iPad and the host will be
connected.
2) Back to iPad main screen, and tap “QAT Remote” to operate the host.
Note: If the router is connected to the Internet, the information of the CD album will be
downloaded and saved in iPad during the CD ripping process.
3.2 Using USB wireless adapter
In case that the user has no wireless router network in home, we offer a USB wireless adapter,
with which the user could connect iPad and the host by following the steps below:
1) Connect the USB wireless adapter and the host through the USB port on the rear pane.
