See ARIS on your network
Once ARIS is connected to your network, you will see ARIS
as a networked device on PCs, smartphones and other
devices that are also connected to your network. Look for
“Aperion-AwoX AP2.
You can change the device name of ARIS in the Stream
options in Windows Media Player or with the ARIS Control
app on your Android™ or iOS smartphone.
Use Windows Media Player
After you’ve connected ARIS to your wireless or wired
network, you can stream music using Windows Media
Player in Windows 7 and above.
Music files on your computer, including those in an iTunes®
library, should be available from within Windows Media
Player.
Before you can stream music to ARIS, you must configure
Windows Media Player to allow streaming by turning on
media streaming.
Turn on media streaming
ARIS will work with computers running Windows 7 and
above. Media streaming must be enabled, however.
Open Windows Media Player.
If you’re in Now Playing mode, click the Switch To Library
button in the upper-right corner of the Player. Click Stream
and then click Turn On Home Media Streaming.
(If streaming is already turned on, Turn On Home Media
Streaming won’t be available.)
In Media Streaming Options, click Turn On Media Streaming.
Click OK.
Windows Media Player is built into the Windows operating
system. Play To is a feature of Windows 7 and above. They
work together to manage your media files and stream media
to networked media players, such as ARIS.
