I hoped that it would be that simple! :) Unfortunately, in my case it is not. :( My SB3 was previously connected to my PC with wired ethernet connection. Now I did a factory reset on it. When i power it up, first I have to setup networking. I have a choice to connect it with wired ethernet or wireless connection. I chose wireless since I want it to connect to my Touch. Touch is turned on, its internal server is running (and already playing some music from a 8GB SD card) Then on my SB3 I'm asked to choose region. I chose Europe, since I live in Europe. Next option is: "Choose your wireless network (SSID):" Here, I can see varius neighbours wireless networks, but I don't see my Touch I also have the option "enter a network name". I tried to enter "Touch", then i typed "SqueezeboxTouch" since I found this in Touh's menu, Squeezeserver information section, under "hostname". After this I got the "choose encryption" message. I choose "none", since I did not set any encryption on my Touch (I never connected it to any wireless network since I bought it). Next I pressed many times the right arrow, trying to connect with various Touch network names, but nothing happened - I only get the message "cannot find the wireless network, Left to back, right to try again" What I'm doing wrong? Do I have to set something else on my Touch? On Touch, under "Advanced settings" I have "networking", there I can choose type of network. When I choose "wireless", I only get the same list of neighbours networks. There is no option to setup anything. Why didn't Logitech explain this setup procedure somewhere?

Your Touch is not a wireless network. That's why you don't see it in the list of networks along with your neighbors' networks. Do you have a home network with a wireless router? You need to connect both the Touch and the SB3 to your home router, either wirelessly or via wired ethernet.

No I unfortunately do not have a wireless router. :( I can't find where on Logitech site I've read about Touch's ability to act as a server for other SB products. I got the impression that it can be done directly without external router.

After all, Touch is some kind of a lifestyle audio device. You should not be a computer networking expert to set it up in some more advanced configurations. The user manual is very uninformative.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch TinySC - Limited to Sync for SB Classic?
The Touch _can_ act as a server for other SBs. It works quite well. But it is not a router. An embedded music server has absolutely nothing to do with managing network traffic, handing out IP addresses, serving as a wireless access point, etc. The SB line are "network music players." The system requirements don't say you need to have a home network because technically speaking you don't, but the expectation is that most users of NMPs will have a home network.

Even if it's a wireless router, use wired ethernet connections whenever possible because they are more reliable, less subject to interference from your neighbors' networks, cordless phones, microwaves, and so forth. Your computer, your SB3, and your Touch will all connect to the network as separate devices. Believe me, connecting them to the router is more straightforward than whatever way you had your computer and SB3 connected directly to each other. You don't need to install a new SBS on your computer, but you should be aware that the Touch's built-in server has more limited functionality than SBS running on a PC. In particular, the Touch's built-in server (TinySBS) cannot be controlled by SBS's web interface and cannot transcode. TinySBS cannot run server-based plugins, but it can run a number of applets. These limitations may not matter to you, and if they don't, then TinySBS may serve you well. If you do plan to use SBS on your pc from time to time it's a good idea to make sure that it's the same version as TinySBS running on the Touch. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80223 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Yes I do have a (some sort of) home network. But no router! :) My home network consists of my laptop and my graphic workstation that, when needed, are connected directly via "cross" ethernet cable. My "Internet" mini PC is connected to my cable modem via USB. My SB Touch is connected directly to my cable modem via second "cross" ethernet cable. My SB3 is connected directly to my "Internet" PC via third "cross" ethernet cable. I always wanted to separate my workstations from hazards of the Internet, so I never needed a router that would connect together all my PCs. So yes, there are users of "network music players" who are not using routers. The need for a router should be stated in system requirements when mentioning other Touch's connecting possibilities. Logitech should not expect that I already have a router. And worse, this setup scenario is not even mentioned in user manual, let alone explained. . -- Kuja Kuja's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80223 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Kuja;560175 Wrote: > I always wanted to separate my workstations from hazards of the > Internet, so I never needed a router that would connect together all my > PCs. You could connect the computers together via a router without exposing them to the internet. And with basic router technology and firewall software it is easy to expose them to the internet without a lot of risk. Probably with a lot less risk than your current setup of having your "internet pc" connected directly to your modem, where it is very exposed unless you've done something special to use a private IP address instead of the public IP address it gets from the cable modem. After seeing your details I concede that it may well be possible to work the Touch into your setup without a router, but it would have to be wired, not wireless. And you'd probably have to set up one of your PCs as a go-between. But a router would be a lot easier. And probably more secure as well. Decent consumer wireless routers are available for around US$50, so that would be my advice. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80223 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Network can mean a number of different setups. Your current network is daisy-chained computers & devices via cross-over cables. The more common and simpler network is a single router that all devices connect to. Then others will have hubs & switches off of the router for other connections. Some ISP's provide the router (even WiFi routers), while others do not. Point being, it is not easy to describe every possible "network" configuration scenario on a small retail box. Being a network device they assume you have a network, just as they assume you already have music (also not included in the box). ;) -- toby10 toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80223 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

NAS devices have been known to have DNS errors, might try the 3rd party/NAS forum here for more info. Maybe just close SBS and restart SBS may resolve it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Touch in a car
I have been thinking about this and as long as you use a FLASH drive and have RCA inputs on your in car system then there is no problem. You could also update the music collection via wiFi when parked on your drive. Caveats... 1. A HD drive may smash the heads into the platters going over bumps unless properly mounted. 2. The device runs off 5V so will have to be regulated down. 3. Check the standby current when off. It could flatten your battery if not driven. I have not measured it, but 3.6W in standby (posted here elsewhere) will completely flatten a 50Ah car battery in a week (and stuff your car battery in the process). It will not fully recover from a deep discharge. If your music collection is small, then you could turn off completly as a power on rescan should be quickish. -- Waldo Pepper Waldo Pepper's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39029 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80255 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

I use a 12V to 5V 4Amp DC/DC power supply that is wired to a switched hot IE key must be in the Start/On position for the Touch to draw power. No battery draw unless driving. I have had no issues using Toshiba USB powered USB Drives. Probably because they are portables and designed to take some knocking around as well as sitting on a small piece of memory foam in the lower cubby hole. And even if you don't have Aux In on your head unit, some factory units can have an adapter added to get the signal in though I highly recommend after market head units with Aux In. Or one can just use a small Inverter to power Touch via the OEM PS and then even use external powered USB drive since one has the inverter to plug it into. Could you update over WiFi, I guess so, but why bother. Its a USB drive, bring it in and do a direct update over a USB Cable. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80255 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

Please access Squeezebox Server Settings -> mysqueezebox.com with a web browser to configure. thanks for all your help toby, i was concerned it was some hardware defect but it must of been some software or configuration thing going on, im just baffled of how it happened with no apparent reason and its pretty much taken me all day to figure out and im not even sure what was the cause, any ideas on my last problem? -- scrutinity scrutinity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80261 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

[SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch Initial Setup - Firmware
Hello, A friend just bought an SB Tocu after my glowing review but is having real dificulties getting it to connect to mysqueezebox.com to get the firmware to even get the thing up and running. His laptop is connected to the internet via a mobile internet dongle. Should it still work with an ethernet cable plugged from the laptop to the SB Touch? I did see a post somewhere saying there was a way around this if you didn't have a network but I cannot find it at the moment. Is it possible to get around this without the SB Touch connecting to the internet? Could the files be downloaded onto the laptop and transferred? I'm guessing that may be a bit tricky even if it is possible.

That's correct, because you can't run plugins if you're using the SB Touch's built-in server (TinySBS). You can't run plugins on mysqueezebox.com either. You can only run plugins on a computer or NAS running SBS. However, you can run applets on the SB Touch, so that's what you should be looking for. It's been a while since I've installed any new applets, but look in the Touch's menu under Settings > Advanced. To get the full range of choices you will need to enable 3rd party applets. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80278 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch Initial Setup - Firmware
If I understand, the laptop is connected via some sort of 3G network (not WIFI or local ethernet). Does he plan on using the TOUCH with only local music files (i.e., NOT any internet radio, pandora, etc.)? I'm not aware of any way to get the firmware on indirectly (I'm sure there is some highly technical way, via ssh'ing in to the TOUCH and changing certain files, but this would not be very straightforward for most folks). I suspect the best way to get the firmware installed is to take the touch to someone's house that does have WIFI, and setup the touch initially to use that WIFI network. then the firmware will install, etc. Then the TOUCH can be setup at the owner's location with an attached USB drive. But again, without the ability to access the internet and/or be attached to a local network, I'm not sure why the TOUCH was a good answer for this person. A large capacity ipod attached to his stereo would be simpler! -- garym garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80279 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch Initial Setup - Firmware
You can update the firmware via USB flash drive or SD memory card. Download the firmware from http://update.slimdevices.com/update/firmware/7.5.1/. You want the file fab4_7.5.1_r8837.bin. Put it in the root directory of the USB stick or SD card, and then plug the stick or card into the Touch.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] SB Touch Initial Setup - Firmware
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I did suggest that the only way would be to take it somewhere where there is WIFI to get the firmware. The intention is to use the SB Touch connected by ethernet cable to the laptop which has the music on it. Yes it would be a shame to not be able to access the internet radio but it will still represent better sound quality than an ipod plus much larger capacity. thanks. -- woodnut woodnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38846 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80279 ___ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch

The cupcake can use a number of plastics. You can do amazing stuff with one. Using it only makes sense if you need some small number of them. For one, clearly make it out of wood. For 20 to 50, a cupcake would be fine. I'm not sure that the standard Cupcake can handle the length, it might. There are also folk who expanded the bay so they can make longer stuff. Its all open source, anyone can change it in any way. I know several of the folks who run makerbot, known from a group of geek in Brooklyn. I don't know anyone who has one :-) but I have been tempted. Carpenters have been doing cool stuff with wood for thousands of years.
