Loewe AirSpeaker ID
Instructions for Use
Start-up
Basic settings
Network
Depending on whether the device is connected by wire (Ethernet,
Powerline)
or wirelessly (WiFi) to your home network, different settings have to
be made.
➠
Loewe recommends use of a wired network (Ethernet, Powerline)
to ensure a high stability and quality of the data link. Use a wireless
connection only if there is no option. Wireless connections can
basically get disturbed due to external influences (e.g. microwave
devices) and mostly provide a lower data transmission rate.
➠
The device must be registered in the same logical network as the
audio source (such as iPad)
Once you have carried out the relevant steps described in the chapters
"Set-up" and "Connection", switch on the unit.
Wired network
If your home network has a DHCP server (e.g. a DSL router), the setup
of the network parameters is done automatically. You do not need to
set up anything manually.
Wireless network - Configuration page
If you wish to set up a wireless network or if there is no DHCP server
in your home network, the AirSpeaker ID must be configured via a
direct connection between a PC and the AirSpeaker ID. Please use the
network cable provided to connect the AirSpeaker ID to the network
cnnection of the PC.

It takes about 2 to 3 minutes from switching on the AirSpeaker ID
until a connection to the PC can be established.
➠
