You will now be able to enter the xed IP address you wish to give your Minx Xi by

using the rotary dial to select the desired numbers followed by pressing Navigation/

Select dial to end inputting the address.

The Minx Xi will now prompt you to enter the required network mask for the network.

You will be able to enter this in the same way as before for entering the IP address.

You will now need to enter the default gateway's IP address used by the Minx Xi

on the network.

Finally, you will need to enter the DNS IP address for the Minx Xi. On some networks,

you may need to enter your ISP's DNS IP address, which should be available on your

ISP's support page on their website.

After entering the above information, the Minx Xi will now try to connect to your

network. If you wish to use DHCP again simply select 'Settings > Network cong >

Edit Cong' and then set 'Auto (DHCP)? YES / NO' to 'YES'.

Signal warning

The Minx Xi can display a warning if the Wi-Fi signal strength is low enough to be

causing reduced throughput. The options for the Signal Warning are simply Yes

or No.

Wi-Fi Region

Different parts of the world use slightly different frequencies for Wi-Fi. For best

performance you should set the Minx Xi to the region you live in, the current options

are US, Spain, Europe (i.e. other than Spain), Japan.

Wired/Wireless connection

It is possible to connect your Minx Xi to your network via an available Ethernet

connection (RJ45) or via a Wi-Fi router. By default the unit is in AUTO mode, each

time you turn the unit it looks for the presence of a wired connection, and tries to

use this, if none is present or it cannot connect it then tries to use the wireless

connection and so on. In Auto mode once the Minx Xi has established a certain

type of connection to the network, then this type of connection will remain in use

while the Minx Xi is on.

You can alternatively congure the Minx Xi to permanently only use the wired

or wireless connection From the Minx Xi's 'Network cong' menu, select 'Wired/

Wireless'. This menu will present you with three options: 'Auto', 'Wired Only' and

'Wireless Only'.

Selecting 'Wired Only' will cause the Minx Xi to reboot and then only use its Ethernet

connection to communicate with the network. Selecting the 'Wireless Only' will

cause the Minx Xi to reboot and only use its Wi-Fi connection. Selecting the 'Auto'

option means the Minx Xi will try both and settle on the one it can make work as

described above.

Version

This menu item displays some hardware/software version numbers for your Minx

Xi. Turn the rotary dial to scroll through the various items.

The Service Pack is the currently loaded rmware software. It's a good idea to

note this down if you need to contact our technical support people as they may

request it.

Upgrade Firmware

Use this option to download new rmware for the Minx Xi from Cambridge Audio

over the Internet.

If you select this item the Minx Xi will contact our server and see if a newer version

of software is available ('Checking for updates' will be shown in the display).

If new software is found the Minx Xi will prompt you if you want to download it or

not. It is a good idea to update the rmware from time to time to take advantage of

any bug xes or new features. At this stage, you can press the Minx Xi's

button

to cancel the rmware upgrade. A Firmware upgrade may take several minutes.

Note:

– It is very important that once the Firmware upgrade has started you do not switch

off the power to the Minx Xi until the operation is complete otherwise the Minx Xi

may become permanently damaged.

– Also do not interrupt the network or internet connection by removing the Ethernet

lead or switching off your router etc.

Language

Allows you to change the display language used.

A list of the currently supported languages will be shown. Select your preferred one

and press enter.

Note: The Minx Xi will then restart in order to start again in the new language, this

will take approximately 30 seconds.

Factory Reset

Puts all the settings back to their defaults as they were when they left the factory.

The Minx Xi will ask you if you are sure you want to proceed before performing a

reset.

Note: If you perform a factory reset, you will lose all your presets and any saved

WEP/WPA keys for your wireless network connection.

This will display a key that can be used to register your Minx Xi on the Stream

Magic portal at www.stream-magic.com. First you will need to set up an account on

Stream Magic. Open www.stream-magic.com from your Internet browser. See the

section earlier on Stream Magic registration.

Note: The generated key lasts for about 10 minutes, if you don't use it in that time

you will need to exit and re-enter this menu to get a new key.

Device Name

This menu allows the setting of the declared UPnP Client name for your Minx Xi.

This is the name other UPnP devices (such as control points and remote Apps etc.)

will display when they see the Minx Xi.

The default name will be 'Minx Xi' but can be changed to any name you can easily

recall such as 'Dads Minx Xi' or 'Kitchen' etc.

Idle Mode

Idle mode, when enabled, allows Minx Xi to enter a lower power suspended state

using the Standby/On button. The display is turned off and many of the internal

processes and circuits are disabled to reduce power consumption.

However the difference between Idle and Standby is that in Idle mode, power

remains connected to the main controller, Ethernet and Wi-Fi sections.

In Idle mode, networking functionality remains alive in the background. This

means that Minx Xi can be quickly woken up out of the suspended state into an

operational state using not only the front panel and the infra-red remote, but also

the iOS app running on the iPhone or iPad. This is not possible when the unit is in

full Standby mode.

To enable Idle mode using the Standby button, it must rst be activated within the

setup menus. Go to "Settings -> Idle Mode" and set to "On".

Short presses of the Standby button will toggle between On and Idle modes.

Note: after putting the unit into Idle mode, you will not be able to wake the unit into

full On mode until 5 seconds have elapsed.

Full low power standby can still be activated by keeping the Standby button pressed

for more than two seconds. A subsequent press of Standby turns the unit fully on,

but remember that this can't be done over the network (i.e. from the iOS app) and

that it takes longer to reach the full operational state.

I have been using the Cambridge Audio Minx Xi for a few years now. The most recent firmware update has been done successfully. Now I am having issues with song display on the radio stations I am using. The designated radio stations are showing in the display screen, however, a blank screen where the song playing should show. Any suggestions would be most helpful? Thanks.
