Connect with a wired network
You can connect ARIS to a wired network. We’ve included
an Ethernet cable with your ARIS Wireless Card. Just plug
one end into the Ethernet port on the Wireless Card and
the other into your router or an Ethernet outlet.
The Link Status LIght on the Wireless Card should go from
blinking to solid, indicating that ARIS is connected to the
network.
The wired Ethernet connection has priority over the wireless
connection. This means you can not connect over your
wireless network while ARIS is connected over Ethernet to a
wired network.
Solve connection issues
Some problems connecting ARIS to wireless networks can
be overcome by temporarily moving the ARIS closer to your
router during set up.
Here are a few other things to try:
Power down your router and power it back up. Then try the
set up process again.
Turn ARIS off and back on. Then try the set up process
again.
Reset ARIS using the reset button on the Wireless Card.
Then try the set up process again.
Remember, when the Link Status LIght on the Wireless Card
is solid, ARIS is connected to the network. If you can’t find
ARIS on the network using a PC or smartphone, make sure
you’re looking on the same network to which you joined
ARIS.
If you see ARIS on the network but can’t stream music, you
may need to reconfigure Windows Media Player® or your
smartphone app. We’ll get into that topic next.
After ARIS joins your network, it may need to take care of a
quick bit of housekeeping. If a software update is needed,
ARIS will do its chores and then reboot. This will take just a
few minutes. You’ll see the Link Status Light on the Wireless
Card blink fast, then go dark, then return to solid.
