Player Settings: Network

Your FRAMR. player initially shows a setup code when connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable. For WiFi or special networks, you can tweak the settings here to get online.

Setup for LAN connection

Setup for WiFi connection

Network adapter

You can select the network adapter that you want to adjust using the following options in the drop-down box. Depending on the selection, the interface shows different configuration options.

Adapter enabled

Use this button to enable or disable a selected network adapter. Please note: A deactivated network adapter is no longer accessible from your network. If all additional network ports also become inactive, you may need physical access to the player in order to reactivate network adapters.


IP settings


DHCP

Activate the auto assignment of an IP address to your player. This is only supported if your router in the network offers this feature.


IP address
Enter an IP address for this player. IP address is the network address of your player in the local network. It is automatically obtained from the router if DHCP is used, if you enter manually, you may want to ask your network administrator for the address.

Netmask

The netmask is automatically obtained from the router when using DHCP. Again, if you are entering it manually, contact your network administrator for the correct information.

Gateway

Provides the connection to the internet and is automatically obtained from the router when using DHCP. In case of entering the gateway manually, please contact your network administrator for the correct information.

DNS

The nameserver is needed for the translation of domain names into IP addresses. You can use the default name server provided by the router for the network. Alternatively, you can also use for example the nameserver service of Google at the address 8.8.8.8.

Additional settings when using Wifi wireless networks


SSID

Enter the name of your WiFi network here.


Encyption

You may now select the used encryption method of your WiFi network in this drop-down box.


WiFi password

Finally, you should enter the password needed to connect to your WiFi network here.

Proxy Settings

Here you can set up how your FRAMR. Player connects to the internet via a proxy.


Choose an option to configure the proxy connection:

  • Proxy disabled: No proxy will be used.

  • Proxy server: Specify the server.

  • Proxy Auto-Config: Use an automatic configuration file from the server.

  • Proxy server (extended): Enter hostname, port, username, and password.

Access Point Settings

Here you can set up how your FRAMR. Player creates an access point, allowing a device to connect and adjust settings via the displayed IP address in the web interface (handy if the device is installed in a way that makes a USB keyboard hard to access or if the network fails).


Choose an option to configure the access point:

  • Access Point disabled: No access point will be created.

  • Access Point on network interruption: The player creates an access point with a passphrase when the network connection fails.

  • Access Point enabled: The player permanently creates an access point with a passphrase.
