Connect your IRIS Webradio to a telephone line or broadband connection. This can be either a cable Internet connection or DSL. The IRIS Webradio has a so-called RJ45 Ethernet port. This means you can connect the IRIS Webradio directly to your broadband connection, without requiring a computer.
If you wish to use the webradio on a telephone line you can use the RJ11 connector on the rear of the unit and connect with the provided telephone cable. In that case you have to obtain your own ISP Dial-up account from your Telecom provider.
The IRIS Webradio has been pre-programmed standard with 25 US based Audio Information and Reading Services for the Blind. You are able to amend this selection very simply yourself or you can add on different ones from our database, which is also at your disposal. Our database now has more than 5.000 radio stations. The number is increasing daily and so is the number of previously broadcast programs (podcasts).
Upon receipt of the IRIS Webradio you will receive log-in information to our Stationlist portal. With your own user name and password you can change your list of stations very easily. Again, the IRIS Webradio does not need to be connected to a PC. The next time you switch on the IRIS Webradio, the new stationlist will be activated.
The IRIS Webradio does not require a special configuration. The IRIS Webradio can be used in a home or office environment. However, in the case of the latter (because of a possible firewall) other network parameters need to be set. Here too, no PC is required, but this can be done via the menu options, which can be seen in the display.
