Ok, with your encouragement, I tried a little harder and: SUCCESS!
These are the exact steps I followed:
- Prepare a FAT32 formatted USB key with latest fab4.bin, fab4.version
& fab4.version.sha in the root directory, downloaded today from
http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.8.0/
- With SBTouch unconnected to anything (i.e. no audio, no ethernet)
and with broadband modem disconnected from router, power SBTouch on.
- Select language: English.
- Select North America.
- Select Ethernet. At this point, you get an error screen showing up
on the SBTouch reporting no connection.
- *ON THIS SCREEN:* press and hold the *visible* back arrow in the
upper left corner. This will take you to a menu with Return to setup
& Settings entries.
- Select Settings.
- Select Advanced.
- Select Software Update.
- Select Update from removable media.
- Perform firmware update, SBTouch reboots and you'll be back at the
start of setup at the language selection menu.
- Select English.
- Select North America.
- SBTouch will now scan for wireless networks and then present a menu
of available networks.
- Plug in ethernet cable, select Ethernet from the menu.
- SBTouch connects to ethernet and diplays "Connecting to
mysqueezebox.com" spiny. At this point, *JUST WAIT* for the
connection attempt to time out.
- After the time-out, the SBTouch presents you with a menu that
includes Switch Library.
- Select Switch Library and select a LMS running on the local subnet.
Attach the RCA audio cable and play some music.
- At this point, you can power-cycle the SBTouch and it will come back
and connect to the last LMS it was connected to. You're all set up
without having needed an internet connection to mysb.com!
Whew. Thanks again, John.
