Re: [slim] Typos and setup question
The controller is needed for setup because the receiver has no screen - without that you can't tell it things like the WEP/WPA key or select options such as DHCP/static IP. Once it's on the network it can be fully controlled by SqueezeCenter. There have been (strong) rumors that the requirement for the controller may be removed in the future, so if that's a big deal for you it may be worth waiting a little while to see what happens in that regard (as I understand it there are some technical issues which need figuring out). You could of course also buy the duet and once setup, sell the controller. I'd be nervous about doing that unless the controller was no longer needed - you never know when you might need to do a factory reset! -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42670 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Typos and setup question
Can someone please explain to me why exactly one needs a slimdevices remote i.e jive to setup a sd receiver? Once you've setup up the controller it knows everything about your wireless configuration. This information can be transfered to the Receiver without having to enter everything in some form again. Using a web interface you'd have to do this twice. Well, and then I just wanted to point out for it is an official site. I'll forward it to our web guy.
