NOXON iRadio Cube 2 - The connectors of your NOXON 2.1 Overview After taking the NOXON out of its packaging material, take a moment to get to know its connectors and controls. A Connection for power supply B Reset button C WLAN antenna port D Audio output (3.5 mm - 1/8") E On/off switch F FM antenna port G Network port (RJ-45) H Label with the MAC address More about the connectors on the next few pages. On the back of your NOXON you will see a label with the MAC address [H].
NOXON iRadio Cube 2.2 The power adapter socket ("POWER") Plug the power adapter in here. Please use the supplied adapter. While some universal power adapters feature the same plugs and voltage, their amperage is not sufficient. Should you need a replacement, please contact our service, see page 60. 2.3 WLAN antenna connector ("WLAN") If you have access to a wireless LAN (WLAN), screw the antenna provided onto this connector.
NOXON iRadio Cube 2.6 The analogue audio output ("AUDIO Out") The Audio output on the back of the device is intended to be connected to the Audio / Line input of a HiFi amplifier or a pair of active speakers (speakers with built-in amplifiers).

NOXON iRadio Cube 3 - The remote control and the buttons on the NOXON Here it is—your infrared calorie saver. Most of the controls will probably be familiar from other products from the world of consumer electronics. A selection of controls corresponding to those on the remote control are located on the front of the NOXON, as you have probably already discovered on the right. 1) The infrared receiver is located here 3.
NOXON iRadio Cube 3.2 Additional buttons and their functions On/Off: Wouldn't you know it: - Switches the NOXON on—and off, if need be— in the standby-mode! Attention energy savers: you can shut off the "juice" completely using the toggle switch on the rear of the device! Internet radio: Jumps directly to the extensive Internet radio station selection lists which are continuously kept up to date for you by your vTuner premium subscription.
NOXON iRadio Cube seconds on the device) / to on the device: You can assign titles or stations to one of the number buttons for quick access. To do so, press and hold the corresponding button on the device during playback until, after approximately 1-2 seconds, an acknowledgement appears on the display. Station presets (even in standby mode!): As soon as it's saved, you can call the station up again just by briefly pressing the assigned number button on the remote or the device.
NOXON iRadio Cube 3.3 Entering letters Letters can be entered into the NOXON via the numerical keypad in the same way you would with a mobile phone keypad when writing an SMS. This can be useful when configuring the device or changing the device's name. Here you can see how text entry works using the example of the word NOXON … (use the + button to switch between upper and lower case, by the way!) Pressing a button several times in a row switches through the row of available letters as shown.
NOXON iRadio Cube 4 - The first time: switching on the NOXON. To start the NOXON, press the ON/OFF button on the NOXON itself marked with the icon. Note: If you have just connected the power adapter and are now trying to turn the device on, don't get nervous if nothing happens at first. It takes several seconds before the NOXON can be switched on after it has been connected for the first time to an AC power source.
NOXON iRadio Cube This means: if a network cable is plugged in and a 'link' is available, the NOXON will always favour it over the wireless link. If you would like to switch from Ethernet to WLAN, switch your NOXON off, unplug the power adapter and the network cable, take a deep breath and hold it for a few seconds, reconnect the power adapter, and turn the NOXON on! If a profile for a WLAN connection is already available, it will be used automatically.
NOXON iRadio Cube Hello, here we are: SSID broadcast (WLAN). As explained in the technical glossary, the abbreviation SSID stands for the network name sent out to all wireless network devices within range, informing them of the presence of a network with this identification. Some routers, however, have an option to suppress the broadcast of the network name. The option is a toggle that is usually called SSID broadcast.
NOXON iRadio Cube 5 - Scenario 1 – the wired network integration If an Ethernet cable of a functioning network is plugged in at the time the device is switched on, follow the steps below to set up the device quickly and easily: 1) If a wired connection is available, then "Wired Ethernet" is the correct choice. Confirm with: 2) At this point, select the method by which the NOXON obtains its IP address1) in the network.
NOXON iRadio Cube 5.1 If you are using a proxy server… For users of proxy servers, the procedure is different as of Item 3. Proxy servers are common in companies and other major Internet users. Check the Internet settings of Internet Explorer on a computer connected to the same network to see whether your network is using a proxy server. Open Internet Explorer, select "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu and select the "Connections" tab. On the bottom third of the tab, you'll find the "LAN Settings...
NOXON iRadio Cube 6 - Scenario 2 – the wireless network integration We would also like to give you the information necessary to integrate your NOXON wirelessly via a router as an alternative to the wired network connection as described under "5 -Scenario 1 – the wired network integration". 6.1 Not unimportant: the location A wireless signal always travels along a direct point-to-point, i.e. antenna-to-antenna, path.
NOXON iRadio Cube 6.2 Wireless integration using a router In comparison to wired networks, a wireless local area network (WLAN) link provides considerable additional freedom, but also requires a bit more attention—especially if you do not want to completely neglect security aspects. In the case of wireless, data is transmitted over one or more access points (AP). The WLAN access point is generally integrated into the broadband router of your Internet access line.
NOXON iRadio Cube 6.3 Setting up the wireless connection on the NOXON button on the remote control, go to the setup menu, and then call up the wizard for network Using the configuration. Just a reminder: During the course of the configuration, confirm your entries by pressing the right navigation button on the remote control or on the device, or press the left button to cancel or correct your entries. Use the same buttons to move the cursor in data entry situations.
NOXON iRadio Cube 7 - The setup menu of your NOXON Press the button of the remote control to open the setup menu of the device. There you will find the following entries: Setup menu Device status Important indicator for problems: query of current parameters such as IP address, MAC No., firmware and bootloader version, etc.
NOXON iRadio Cube Software Update Auto update [ ] You can enable the automatic search for updates here. Once this is enabled, the device checks at regular intervals whether new firmware is available for the device. Naturally, if new firmware is available, a prompt asks whether you want to carry out the update. The default setting is "enabled". For information about new updates, visit the support area at www.terratec.com and/or www.my-noxon.
NOXON iRadio Cube Equaliser Neutral Disables the equaliser and sends the unaltered sound to the speaker. Classical Makes classical music easier to hear, even at low volumes. Acoustic Subtle sound adjustment, especially for instrumental music. Jazz Emphasises the frequency range of typical jazz instruments. Rock Highly aggressive profile with extra bass oomph and treble boost. Pop Very close to the rock profile, but with allowance for vocals.
NOXON iRadio Cube 8 - Use and playback options 8.1 First of all: What your NOXON is telling you Before we cover the playback options, let's have a look at the playback window iRadio. It's pretty much the same for all playback options: 1 Information on the current track or station. This shows you the usual information such as the title, artist and where appropriate the album of the audio source, and extra information about the current radio program.
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.2 The display modes You can switch between the following display modes with the Default view Zoom display button on your remote control: Time display In Play mode: Detailed display for (Only in Play mode) currently playing source Detailed display The ideal display for users who want to have everything on view and under control.
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.3 Internet radio – a whole new world of radio! In "Your new NOXON" (p. 5), we already introduced the impressive Internet radio capabilities of your iRadio. The big advantage of the NOXON over the time-honoured way of listening to Internet radio via your computer's web browser is that your iRadio can tap into the full variety of the Internet WITHOUT relying on your computer—by connecting directly to the router that provides your Internet access.
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.4 Managing favourites and own stations Besides the carefully maintained list of your vTuner Premium Services on the Internet, your iRadio also features its own list for your favourites, which you can populate with anything you want. It doesn't matter whether you are listening to an individual song, radio station, podcast or playlist—simply press to add anything that's currently playing to your Favourites. To remove an item from your Favour- ites, press— ... you guessed it.
NOXON iRadio Cube Adding a favourite of your own With the "Favourites" menu item, you access the Web interface for adding new favourites directly. If you have the unique URL of a stream, you can simply save it using the "Add" menu item. If you give it a meaningful name, you'll be able to find it more easily later, as well. Note: It's not enough to just enter a Web page in the format http://classicradio.com, even if a stream is lying in wait for your iRadio deep in the lower reaches of the Web page.
NOXON iRadio Cube Please note that the iRadio cannot support every data format on the Internet—you may find that it does not support one or the other station. You'll find notes toward the back of this manual—sometimes it's just a bit more difficult to get a radio stream up and running...
NOXON iRadio Cube A particularly good example, which also happens to be free, is BeSonic. This music portal for promotion of new artists can be accessed in its entirety from your NOXON. You don't need your computer at all. For information about all available providers, visit www.my-noxon.net. At the website, you can search for services and customise the selection of those you want to access using "myNOXON" to suit your interests.
NOXON iRadio Cube Setting up myNOXON myNOXON can be used immediately without registering, though with limited function. To use the full range of function or configure the desired content, you have to activate your NOXON at the TerraTec site. This is fast and free of charge, and takes only a few steps: 1) Go to the www.my-noxon.net website. Select the "Register now" menu item. 2) After completing the registration, go to device management menu by clicking "myNOXON". 3) There, select "My devices".
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.6 Podcast & Radio-On-Demand function Short introduction—podcasts and RadioOnDemand Radio On Demand in English is normally used as a synonym for podcasting. Thus for example, popular shows from a daily radio program are formatted and made available online so that they can be called up any time as podcasts—even large and well-known radio stations do this.
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.7 Your new FM radio The iRadio Cube is also equipped with a classic integrated FM radio. Preparation First make sure that your iRadio is connected to an antenna, otherwise the only thing you'll receive is a rather seductive hissing sound. This can either be the accompanying dipole antenna or a house antenna (coaxial, 75 ohm). As soon as the antenna is connected, select the "FM Radio" item in the main menu ( ).
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.8 The wake-up function Yes, your iRadio also features a built-in alarm clock, so waking up in the morning will be a joyful experience! We've really worked hard on this, so you don't have to greet the new day with just your usual radio stations, you can choose to be awoken gently from your slumbers by any of the over 10000 radio stations available via the Internet. Of course, your iRadio also has its own alarm.
NOXON iRadio Cube In the next step, set your preferred alarm clock volume with the Up/Down buttons. This setting is particularly useful if you have used the sleep timer function to rock you gently to sleep the night before— because the volume of the alarm clock can be set entirely independently, you don't need to worry your sleepy head about the volume of the iRadio in normal operation—it will wake you up with the volume you set here. Press the Right button to confirm and your alarm clock is ready.
NOXON iRadio Cube 8.9 The sleep timer function Also appearing in the Main menu: the sleep timer! When activated, the sleep timer switches the iRadio off after a predetermined time, which is particularly helpful if you've already fallen asleep in the meantime… For activation, it doesn't matter if the iRadio is already playing something, or if the sleep timer is called before the audio source.
NOXON iRadio Cube If you have a media server running in your network, you'll be shown the main menu listing all available sources, including your server, when you button. In the default settings of the server software, the press the computer name or network ID of the computer on which the server is running will be displayed in parenthesis for the latter. Navigate to the right and you will be shown this overview of available tracks.
NOXON iRadio Cube 9 - Your own UPnP music server As mentioned (see p. 36) a music server software is necessary in order to play music files located in your network on the iRadio. 9.1 Twonky Media Several NOXON-compatible alternative music servers are available, most of which are not free of charge. Included with the NOXON at no additional cost is the TwonkyVision TwonkyMedia software.
NOXON iRadio Cube When the setup routine starts, select your language and click "OK". Once you have accepted the license agreement, you will have the opportunity to select the optional components for installation. • TwonkyMedia. No way around this one—it's what we're here for, after all. • Web interface shortcuts. Shortcuts in the Programs group to the web interface—certainly advisable. • Documentation. Comprehensive music server documentation. • Web links. Links to the TwonkyVision website.
NOXON iRadio Cube The web interface TwonkyMedia's web interface is designed to let you configure the various settings of your TwonkyMusic UPnP server. To access the web interface, either use the TwonkyMedia Web Configuration entry in the TwonkyVision program group of the Start menu, or double-click the Twonky icon in the system tray. Either way, your Internet browser will open and display the web interface.
NOXON iRadio Cube 9.2 UPnP servers and Macintosh We recommend the included Elgato EyeConnect application when using the NOXON in a Mac environment. The documentation for EyeConnect can be found on the included CD or at the Elgato website: http://www.elgato.com 9.
NOXON iRadio Cube 9.4 Managing and playing DRM audio files Where will I encounter DRM? DRM (Digital Right Management by Microsoft) is a solution by the music industry for protecting digital contents against piracy. At the cost of sometimes painful compromises in consumer friendliness, the market has agreed on this method: digital rights management defines how often a piece of music can be burned to a CD or stored on an external computer. Or, in the worst case, how long you can listen to a track.
NOXON iRadio Cube 9.4.1 Windows Media Player 11 As the successor to the familiar old Windows Media Connect program, Microsoft is now offering Windows Media Player 11 with an integrated UPnP server. Never before has it been this easy to get the contents of your hard drive onto the NOXON. You can download it free at: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/de/player/11/default.aspx Just follow these quick instructions: 1) Install Media Player 11. 2) Switch on your NOXON.
NOXON iRadio Cube Appendix A - Concepts and solutions—for the technically inclined… Here are a few advanced approaches to using the capabilities of your NOXON. We hope you enjoy exploring them. (We would like to point out, however, that TerraTec cannot provide technical support in connection with the following.
NOXON iRadio Cube A couple of screenshots ... > [ALT + 3] > B - Extracting Internet radio URLs Audio streams are easy to find on broadcasters' websites, but adding them to the NOXON's local station list can sometimes be a problem. In many cases, it is not in the interest of the stream provider to make the content available for standalone players—in all fairness, small providers in particular depend on revenue generated by advertising on the website.
NOXON iRadio Cube detailed technical descriptions there. Unsupported formats The NOXON supports MP3, WMA and AAC+ streams. RealAudio (RA) streams are not supported. Such streams are becoming increasingly rare, however. B1 - Synchronising multiple NOXONs A request we received frequently was to implement the ability to "force" the NOXON to play content remotely.
NOXON iRadio Cube /Program Files/Shoutcast/sc_serv.ini. A number of cosmetic points, such as the name of the server, can be set up there. You should also use the "Password = (your password)" option to protect the server against overly communicative users of your network. The text console of the Shoutcast server during startup Double-click sc_serv.exe to launch the Shoutcast server. A text console will open, informing you of the status of the server.
NOXON iRadio Cube Shoutcast default settings: B3 - NOXON settings The final step is to inform the NOXON of your home-grown stream. Simply use the device's web interface for this. First, we need to find out the IP address of the server's computer by entering "ipconfig" at the command prompt. In our example, the address is 192.168.32.46. The Shoutcast server uses port 8000 by default, so the correct address for the stream in this case would be http://192.168.32.46:8000.
NOXON iRadio Cube B4 - Backing up favourites using the Favourites Commander For Internet radio fans, the iRadio's favourites list will very quickly become just as important as the phone book in your preferred mobile phone. With good reason, as the Internet radio world of the iRadio—just like everyday life—sometimes brings surprises you want to revisit the next day.
NOXON iRadio Cube Depending on the size of the favourites list on your Internet radio, it can take a little while for all favourites to be transferred. This is normal and does not indicate a problem. B4.3 - Operation The left side shows the favourites of the Internet radio station to which you are connected. The favourites stored in your computer's RAM are shown on the right. You can copy the entries back and forth between the device favourites and local favourites windows using the buttons.
NOXON iRadio Cube C - Dealing with tough network problems... C1 - The necessary basic knowledge Time to get technical! At this point we will be taking a closer look at what happens when establishing a connection between the NOXON and the media or music server. While it might seem a bit dry and obscure for the layman, possessing this knowledge will make a definite impression in certain circles.
NOXON iRadio Cube D - Known issues 1. Wired connection (LAN) As you may already know from other wired network devices, establishing a link essentially just involves plugging in the cable. Please ensure that a sound physical connection is present. If that is the case and a connection is still not available, then the problem will be either the settings of your gateway (the computer in your network that manages the connection to the Internet) or those of your router.
NOXON iRadio Cube In summary, use the following checklist: Is the music server running correctly? Are all of the configuration files correct and does the server appear in the Processes list (CTRL + SHIFT+ ESC)? If it is not listed, check your server-side configuration. Is there a conflict with your filter or firewall rules? The firewall can be disabled completely as an extreme measure when running Windows, or its functionality should not be extended to cover the NOXON.
NOXON iRadio Cube E - Firmware Update ... you guessed it. This describes how to make sure your NOXON's software is up to date. TerraTec offers firmware updates for products at irregular intervals. This takes place via the device's own software program update function or alternatively, for users to whom this option is not yet available in their setup menu, by downloading from the website.
NOXON iRadio Cube to page 48. 4. Call up the NOXON's own Web interface On a PC in the same network, open an Internet browser (such as Internet Explorer) and enter the IP address you determined in 3 into the address bar. You should now see the NOXON's Web interface. 5. Start firmware update Click "Update firmware". Your device switches to update mode within a few seconds. 6. Choose firmware Click "Browse" and select the appropriate firmware for your device.
NOXON iRadio Cube F - FAQ – Other questions and solutions The current FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for initial problem-solving can be found on the Internet at http://www.terratec.de/support G - Technical glossary Access point (AP) — An access point is a network component that WLAN clients (terminal devices) connect to in order to exchange data with the Internet or other clients. It is identified via its SSID.
NOXON iRadio Cube such as LANs and WLANs. The NOXON is also a client that receives data packets in this manner. SSID (ESSID) — The Service Set Identifier (SSID) or network name is the identifier for IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks. Every wireless LAN has a configurable SSID or ESSID (Extended Service Set IDentifier) as a unique network ID. In other words, it is the network's name. The NOXON recognises all found networks automatically and also supports the manual entry of SSIDs.
