The Sneaky Music DS operates within a standard Ethernet network.
There are six components involved in the network.

The first two components provide network infrastructure.
1. Ethernet switch
This device is the connection point for all other components on the
network, allowing them to communicate with each other. Also required
for accessing SHOUTcast Internet radio.
2. WAP
Plugs into the switch thereby allowing wireless components to
communicate with wired ones.
A PC/laptop is required for system installation.
3. PC/laptop
The PC or laptop is a standard computer that is used during setup and
configuration of the Sneaky Music DS system. The same, or another
computer, may be used after setup to add new music to the NAS. In
order for the computer to communicate with the Sneaky Music DS
system, it must be connected to the switch.
The final three devices interact together to provide the Sneaky Music DS
music experience. They are:
4. NAS
Securely stores music on a hard drive array. Additionally, the NAS runs
three important pieces of software:
a. Media Server
Indexes and allows retrieval of the music from the NAS.
b. DHCP Server
Responsible for allocating IP addresses to all devices on the
network.

INSTALLATION AND SETUP
c. Network Sharing Protocols
Allows computers to place new music on the NAS.
5. Wireless control point
Allows the user to browse, select, and control the playback of music.
It requests information about the location of the music from the Media
Server and then passes this information to the Sneaky Music DS.
6. Sneaky Music DS
Follows instructions from the wireless control point to retrieve music
from the NAS (and SHOUTcast Internet radio via the Ethernet switch),
and then transforms the digitally stored music into high quality analogue
audio. The Sneaky Music DS plays WAV, FLAC and MP3 files.
This describes a default network architecture for the Sneaky Music DS.
Many other network configurations are possible, depending on specific
requirements.
Important:
Installation of the Sneaky Music DS requires knowledge of networks and
network security. You should not attempt to install the Sneaky Music DS
unless you are comfortable working in these areas. Linn Products Limited
cannot be held responsible for any network security compromise and/or loss
of data due to improper installation.

To make installation easier, here we describe in detail the steps needed
to setup an Infrant ReadyNAS NV+. For other NAS devices consult the
documentation from your NAS vendor. The instructions below assume
that the NAS has been supplied with hard drives pre-installed. The RAID
configuration for the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+ is best set at X-RAID. For
other manufacturers’ devices RAID 5 should be chosen to allow easy future
expansion of storage.
1. On the installation PC/laptop disable all firewalls and the proxy server.
2. Follow the Getting Started Guide supplied with the ReadyNAS, up
to and including installing the RAIDar software. Once installed and
running, RAIDar will scan the network for the Ready NAS. If the screen
below appears, check all connections, ensure all firewalls and the proxy
server are disabled, then press ‘Rescan’.
2 SET UP OF THE NAS

When the screen below appears, select the appropriate NAS (if more
than one is available), then press ‘Setup’.

Select the IP address assignment appropriate for the network the
Akurate DS system is being installed into. Press ‘Apply’, then ‘Next’.
6. The ‘Global Network Settings’ screen
Select a hostname for the NAS, e.g. ‘nas001’. This name
should be unique to the network. This name will be used to refer
to the NAS from other devices on the network, for example the
ripping software (please refer to the Ripstation Micro DS section for
details). Leave other settings unchanged. Press ‘Apply’, then ‘Next’.
7. The ‘Admin Password’ screen
Complete the required information. Press ‘Apply’, then ‘Next’.
8. The ‘Security Mode’ screen
Nothing on this screen needs changed. Press ‘Next’.

action taken before the user is aware that a problem exists. Press
‘Apply’, then ‘Next’.
3. The ‘Clock’ screen
Select the appropriate timezone and time for your location. If the
‘Synchronize clock…’ checkbox is selected, deselect it. Press

Installing TwonkyMedia Server
To complete the installation of the Infrant ReadyNAS, TwonkyMedia Server
software has to be installed onto it. This is a UPnP media server and allows
access to all material stored on the NAS.
TwonkyMedia will present the music files to the user in such a way that they
will be ordered by Artist, Album, Artist/Album, Genre, etc… It gives various
options for searching through the music, as explained below.
