FireBall™ FP-1 User’s Manual
CONFIGURING A FIREBALL SERVER
Every FireBall capable of server functions is automatically enabled to serve MP3, AAC, and FLAC audio whenever it is plugged in and properly
configured for your network.
It is recommended that you give each of your FireBall servers a unique name that describes its location using the SERVER SETTINGS screen which
can be accessed from Setup/Network /Server Settings.Nameslike“LivingRoom”,“HomeTheater”,“MyMusicServer”areallgoodexamples.
Note: Do not use spaces in the FireBall Server Name.
Optionally, you can assign a password for web access to the FireBall. This password is independent from the Parental Controls password and is used
to limit access to FireBall’s web server from any standard web browser on your network. If a password is entered here, the user will be asked to enter
it when connecting to the FireBall from their PC. This password is provided to protect access to your FireBall through the standard HTTP port 80 on
your subnet.
CONFIGURING A FIREBALL CLIENT
Networking
Each FireBall client must be on the same network as the server. This document will assume that you have properly connected your FireBall client to
thesamenetworkasyourFireBallserver.PleaserefertotheHomeNetworkingPrimersupportdocumentontheEscientwebsiteformoreinformation
about home networking.
Server Selection
FireBall clients will automatically select the first server it sees on the network and connect to it upon startup.
If you have more than one server on your network, you can manually select a different server using the Server Connection screen which can be
accessed from Setup/Internet Configuration/Server Connection.
