RE: Joining Sonos to a campus network

[Floyd, Brad]

Paul,
I'd be interested in hearing the details (no matter how convoluted the process) 
of how you were able to get them on. I have someone who has a few Play:1's I've 
been unsuccessful with so far
Thanks,
Brad

Hi everyone,

I was wondering how you're managing actually joining Sonos products to your 
network. If you've had the pleasure of setting some of these up you may know 
why I need to ask.

They don't really like to individually be directed to join a network and they 
don't really have a UI that just lets you log in a manage a units network 
connection.

The best I've come up with is a kind of convoluted process that requires 
setting them up wired first and then directing the set you want to manage with 
a given (newly required) user account to join the network at the same time.

I think there's also differences between product lines. So far my experience is 
with Play:1's, Play:5's, and Connects which our process works with.

Thanks,

RE: Joining Sonos to a campus network

[Entwistle, Bruce]

I have been working on getting the first one of these connected to our wireless 
HP/Aruba network, by creating a new wireless LAN that meets the Sonos 
requirements.  So far the efforts have not been successful, so it there is 
someone who has figured this out please let me know.

Thank you
