Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Squeezebox network music player.

This Owner’s Manual includes setup and basic operating instructions for your new player.

Since we’re continually adding new software features, some of the more advanced

capabilities of Squeezebox are not covered here. You can find additional information about

the latest Squeezebox features, as well as detailed documentation for developers, on the Slim

Devices web site, http://www.slimdevices.com/.

Squeezebox is powered by the Open Source SlimServer software, which is the result of the

efforts of software developers worldwide working together in an open forum. We are grateful

to everyone in the Slim Devices community who helped create Squeezebox.

We hope you enjoy Squeezebox and that you’ll tell a friend about Slim Devices.

Getting Started

If you already have a wireless or ethernet network and a computer to use as a server, setting

up the Squeezebox and software takes just a few minutes—all you need is this Owner’s

Guide.

Squeezebox Owner’s Guide Page 3

Install the SlimServer software

Download the latest version of the SlimServer software from the Slim Devices website at

http://www.slimdevices.com/download. The software includes installation instructions for

Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Unix.

Windows

Once you have downloaded the SlimServer Installer, open it and follow the on-screen

directions. You will be prompted to select a folder where you’d like to install the software, the

folder that contains your MP3 files, and a folder where you’d like hold your saved playlists. On

Windows NT/2000/XP, you will also be prompted for the password to your account so that the

SlimServer software can start up automatically when the computer starts up.

Note:

Microsoft’s

Windows Media Player

and Apple’s

iTunes

do not “rip” compact disks into

the MP3 format by default. Make sure that the preferences for these programs are set to

encode using the standard MP3 format for best performance and compatibility.

Mac OS X

After you download the disk image file, double click it to make it appear on your desktop.

Then double click the SlimServer Installer icon to begin installation. You will be prompted to

choose between installing it for just one user’s account or for to all users. If you choose to

install it for all users, you will be prompted for an administrator password.

Start the SlimServer software by choosing System Preferences from the Apple menu. The

SlimServer appears as an “Other” panel in the System Preferences. Click to select it, then

click Start Server. You can use the Automatically Start pop-up menu choose to have

SlimServer launch automatically for you when the computer starts up. You can also click Web

Access to launch the Squeezebox web interface, with which you can administer the

Squeezebox from the computer running the SlimServer software.

Note:

Apple’s

iTunes

does not “rip” compact disks into the MP3 format by default. Make sure

that the preferences for these programs are set to encode using the standard MP3 format for

best performance and compatibility.

Linux, Solaris, BSD

Users of Red Hat Linux or other compatible distributions can install the RPM file, available for

download from Slim Devices’ website, using the “rpm” tool. Other Unix platforms can

download the SlimServer software perl scripts available as gzipped tar format or zip file

format. Instructions for starting the perl server are included with the scripts.

Set up your Squeezebox

1. If you have digital inputs on your amplifier, you can use the optical (square) or coax

(orange) digital outputs on the back of Squeezebox. If you are using powered speakers

or headphones, you can plug the 1/8” mini-jack into the connector on the side of

Squeezebox. Otherwise, connect the included RCA cable’s connectors to the red and

white RCA jacks on the back of Squeezebox.

2. If you will be using an ethernet network connection with your Squeezebox, connect the

Squeezebox ethernet port to your ethernet hub or switch using an ethernet patch cable.

Note: You may need to use an ethernet crossover cable to connect the Squeezebox

directly to the ethernet jack in your computer.

3. If you will be using Squeezebox with a wireless network, you’ll need to attach the

antenna (which is enclosed in the plastic bag with the cable and battery) to the middle

connector on the back of Squeezebox and make sure your wireless network is up and

running. Later, to connect to your wireless network, you’ll need the network name (also

known as SSID). If your network is secured with WEP encryption, you’ll also need the

network password or key in hexadecimal format. The hexadecimal password is a string

of ten or twenty-six digits or letters A through F.

4. Insert two AAA batteries in the Slim Devices remote control.

5. Connect the Squeezebox power supply. You can leave the Squeezebox plugged in at

all times. When not in use, it enters standby mode, powers down the display, and

draws only a few milliamps.

Caution: The Squeezebox is supplied with a regulated

power adaptor. You must only use this power adaptor—connecting a different power

Squeezebox Owner’s Guide Page 5

supply may damage the player. Such damage is not covered under Squeezebox’s

warranty.

6. Once the Squeezebox has power, use the remote control to enter its network settings.

If your network supports DHCP (automatic IP address management, a common feature

of most network routers), the player can automatically configure itself—or you can enter

static IP addresses manually. Either way, follow these steps:

When you plug in your player, this message is displayed:

Welcome to Squeezebox

Free Your Music 1.0

The player then displays:

Welcome to Squeezebox

(To begin setup, press the right arrow.)

Using the remote control, press the RIGHT button to display:

Press UP/DOWN to change, RIGHT to go on

Set up networking ->

Press the RIGHT button to select the “Set up networking” option.

Wireless Network Settings

You should see this on Squeezebox:

Press UP/DOWN to change, RIGHT to go on

Connect to a wireless network ->

Press the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to choose between wireless and ethernet networking.

When you’ve chosen the network connection you’d like to use, press the RIGHT button to

select it If you have chosen to use an ethernet network, skip to

Network Address Settings

page 7.

Your Squeezebox will now attempt to find available wireless networks. After a second or two,

you should see a screen like this:

Choose your wireless network (SSID)

MyNetworkName ->

If you have more than one wireless network in the area, you may need to use the UP and

DOWN buttons to scroll through the available network names. When you find your network,

press the RIGHT arrow button. If your wireless network isn’t found, scroll until you see:

Page 6 Squeezebox Owner’s Guide

Choose your wireless network (SSID)

Enter a network name ->

And press the RIGHT arrow button. You’ll then be prompted to enter the name (also known

as the SSID) of your network. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to choose letters and the RIGHT

arrow to move forward to enter your network name.

Hint: You can use the number buttons on the remote to enter text as you might on a cell

phone. Use the ADD button on the remote as a backspace and the PLAY button to insert a

letter.

When you are done, press the RIGHT arrow button twice to move on.

Once you’ve selected your wireless network, you’ll need to select the kind of encryption that

your network uses. You’ll see a screen like this:

Choose your wireless network encryption:

No password/no encryption ->

Use the UP and DOWN buttons to choose the kind of encryption that your wireless network

uses. The choices are:

•no encryption;

•64 bit encryption (sometimes called 40 bit encryption); and

•128-bit encryption (sometimes called 104 bit encryption).

When you’ve selected the encryption setting, press the RIGHT arrow button.

If you are connecting to a network that uses encryption, you’ll need to enter the hexadecimal

password or key for that network. (Hexadecimal strings may contain the numbers 0 through 9

and letters A through F for each digit.)

Some network access points use passwords to configure their encryption. You’ll need to use

the setup software for that access point to find the hexadecimal “WEP” key for your network.

Networks that use 64 or 40 bit encryption will require a ten digit hexadecimal string and

128/104 bit encryption will require a 26 digit hexadecimal string. The screen below shows the

10-digit screen, the 26-digit screen will have more digits to enter.

Enter your wireless password or key:

00 00 00 00 00 ->

Use the UP and DOWN buttons to change the value for each digit, then use the RIGHT arrow

button to move to the next digit. (Hint: You can use the number buttons on your remote to

enter numbers directly, press the 2 or 3 button repeatedly to enter the letters A through F.

You can also use the LEFT arrow button to move back.)

Squeezebox Owner’s Guide Page 7

When you are done entering the encryption key, Squeezebox will try to connect to your

wireless network. If the network settings were wrong, you will see an error message and will

need to press the LEFT arrow button to go back and check your settings. When you are done

you will be prompted to begin setting up your network addresses.

Network Address Settings

When you begin entering your network settings, you’ll see a screen like this:

Press UP/DOWN to change, RIGHT to go on

Obtain IP address automatically (DHCP) ->

If your network includes a Cable/DSL or wireless router, that device will usually act as a

DHCP server, so setup is easy. Press the RIGHT arrow button to select this option. Your

Squeezebox will attempt to obtain an address from a DHCP server and will display this

address. Skip down to the

Select Your SlimServer

section below.

Optional: If you want to specify a static (or fixed) address for Squeezebox, press the DOWN

arrow button until you see the following screen:

Press UP/DOWN to change, RIGHT to go on

Specify a static IP address ->

Press the RIGHT button to use this option. You will then be prompted to enter the static IP

address; subnet mask for this network; and default gateway or router address. Use the

number keys on the remote to enter the values for your network and press the RIGHT button

to move on.

Select your SlimServer

If your SlimServer software has been installed and is running on the same network that is

connected to Squeezebox, you should see a screen like this:

Select your SlimServer:

servername (192.168.1.22) ->

where “servername” will be replaced by the name of the computer running the SlimServer

software, and the number in parentheses will be the IP address of that computer.

If you have more than one computer running the SlimServer software, you’ll be able to use

the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through them. When you’ve found the server you want to

connect to, press the RIGHT arro button. You’re done! Skip down to the section entitled

Using

Squeezebox

on page 9.

If Squeezebox can’t find the server because it’s on a remote network or it isn’t running, you

may see this screen:

Page 8 Squeezebox Owner’s Guide

Couldn’t find server automatically.

Press RIGHT to enter IP address ->

If you haven’t started your server on your local network, do so now. Then press the LEFT

arrow button to try again. If you need to specify a server on a remote network, press the

RIGHT arrow button and enter the IP address of the SlimServer using the number buttons on

your remote. Then press RIGHT to connect to that server.

Testing Your Network Setup

If you would like to test Squeezebox’s network setup, and you know how to use the “ping”

utility to test a network device, you can ping the Squeezebox from the computer that acts as

the SlimServer. From a command prompt, type: “ping 1.2.3.4”, replacing 1.2.3.4 with the IP

address of Squeezebox.

If the IP addresses within your network are set correctly, the player responds to the pings and

displays a message indicating the address of the computer pinging the player.

Returning to the Setup Menu

If you need to return to the setup menu at any time, simply press and hold the POWER button

for five seconds to reset your Squeezebox.
