The older players are quite dumb when running parametrs are controlled
by Squeezeboxserver  but the basic firmware sets up comms (i.e.
Ethernet, wireless) to Squeezeboxserver.  
Once basic comms are working, player on power up issues a Broadcast UDP
packet to find all the Squeezeboxservers available - there may be more
than one. 

With players with display such as SB-1/2/3, Boom - the display is used
to allow users to setup basic network params and to choose a LMS if more
than one.
Receiver has no screen so Duet controller an adhoc WiFI to setup
Receiver so that it communicate with a designated Squeezeboxserver.

the Net::UDAP script allows a user to setup a receiver - the network
paramater and to which Squeezeboxserver to connect.
