Connected to a Single PC via USB
The Base Transceiver has a USB port for connecting to a single PC. When connected via
USB, the PC will need to have the proper USB drivers installed. These drivers can be
installed from The TerraPlayer Utility Suite Installation CD-ROM. When you run the
installation program, it detects a Base Transceiver connected to the USB port and
automatically starts to install the USB drivers. Or, they can be installed separately using
the Install USB Drivers option.
Connected to a Network via Ethernet
The Base Transceiver has an RJ-45 port for connecting to an Ethernet Local Area
Network (LAN). When connected to a LAN, the Base Transceiver will search each
machine on the network for shared folders containing audio files. These files will be
available to and accessible by any registered TerraPlayer Radio within transmission
range.
In a network, any computer may host audio files through file sharing. A Windows-based
PC may be set up for audio sharing through the TerraPlayer Utility Suite, or manually
through the Windows operating system.
) Refer to Shared Music Folders on page 15 for more information.
Non-Windows Platforms in a Network
Computers with compatible file systems may be used for hosting audio files to a
TerraPlayer, but must be compatible with Microsoft Windows Networking using the
Server Message Block (SMB) protocol over TCP/IP. The directory and all audio files
within that directory must then have file permissions set up to allow network access.
) Refer to Requirements on page 12 for more information on compatible platforms.
